Thread: Ask me anything, but not why I haven't.

I wasn't told in the registration to put my age and if I did, I got on fine. I have been told that 12 is the minimum but I'm not sure.

So could anyone answer the question?

Meh it's no big deal don't worry about it... i was just wondering

I haven't succeeded because i haven't wanted to. my mind even knows it can't fool me, so it has to creep me out. i could be lucid AT ALL TIMES, i just have never wanted to really.

Its not a challenge for me, its just whenever i want to do it i will. the only thing that stops me, is that im lazy. there is only one thing to lucid dreaming, we all have it but it can't be taught or learned.

The one thing you need is the right personality. There is nothing else needed plain and simple. i'm going to start tonight myself. i could help others with advice, but they would have to learn themselves.

You are mistaken in just one point. It is learnable!

Actually polmc, he did follow it up with people having to learn it for themselves... lol

Wow, your certainly a breath of fresh air. The way I have LD's is to think of it more as a relaxing hobby then something I actually focus on in a serious manner. Afterall it is dreaming, its supposed to be relaxing and fun!
Best of luck,

With regard to dream recall, I never write my dreams down until later in the morning. What I do is when I wake up at night or in the morning, I convert the dream in my mind to a short outline with scene titles, and I fix the list of scene titles in my memory. Then I just recall the list of scene titles, and I can pretty much recall everything. Since I sometimes end up with as much as two pages of single spaced type written pages of dream material, this works pretty well for me.

I haven't heard of other people doing it this way, so I don't know how well it would work for anyone else.

Citizen, I also have had a great deal of difficulty trying to achieve lucid dreaming, and it also drives me crazy everytime I see a post to the effect of "Hey, man, someone told me about this lucid dreaming thing, and I tried it last night, and I had the best lucid dream evah!" Or a variant is: "I just tried that 'watch the elephant' technique, and I just instantly started lucid dreaming. I had like 4 in a row! It's just so easy, man!"

I know I should wish them well, and all, but sometimes, you know...
