Thread: I Just Can't Seem To Do It

Same situation...

...And I don't even get as far as the movement...

I got further, but still not the whole way, so...

*jumps in the failure boat*

Lol, I think we are going to need a bigger failure boat

Mayday, mayday !

Have any of you ever worked with auto suggestion? I know it sounds sort of lame, but try to buy a watch from the dollar store that beeps on the hour. And every hour when it beeps do a reality check (plugging ones nose and trying to breathe tends to be the most effective, for me atleast) and tell yourself "tonight I will have an incredibly vivid dream and will become lucid, I will also wake up after all of my dreams so I can pen them down."

This worked wonders for me, and I tend to have a somewhat even blend of DILDs and WILDs per night.

Yeah, I do autosuggestion every night. It often works for recall, but never for lucidity. Oh wait, once i did spontaneously do an RC in a dream the first night I autosuggested I would remember to do an RC. Since then though, no.

Good idea with the watch though. I can set my timer to beep every half hour. That should get this RC thing firmly embedded in my mind.

I do auto-suggestion every night, but sometimes it's hard to really believe it.
It goes like this....

My mind's "channel one" is thinking:
"Tonight I will have a lucid dream, it will be extremely vivid and I will know that I'm dreaming.It's easy to have a lucid dream."

while "channel two" is thinking:
"Right, I'm doing this only because of auto-suggestion."

..."channel three":
"This is no use, I'm a failure, it won't work, it's not gonna happen."

..."channel four"
"Damn that girl was mighty fine..."


Lol you get the point, it's hard to convince myself with auto-suggestion.

And about reality checks...I don't do them by a schedule, but every time I see something strange, I ask myself am I dreaming and it worked several times, that's how I became lucid with DILD method anyway.

Btw, auto-suggestion DID help me lots of times with my dream recall, even to the point where I could remember dreams every night, up to 9 dreams per night.
