Thread: EILD - An experimental technique

Suppose you could trigger one to lucid dream based off of what others in a discussion, or forum, say about them.

For example, If I was to tell you my name was Martin Williams, and that I wanted to have a lucid dream initiated tonight, others could talk about and generally describe me going to sleep and having lucidity and how with complete confidence as if they knew what I was going to dream.

Connecting the supposedly 'to-be' lucid dreams to the individual would require constantly mentioning their name and what they are going to do and how they are going to ultimately attain lucidity.

Let's try it:
Alright, so if I told you my name is Martin Williams and I want to lucid dream tonight, how would I do it? ( Remember talk like you know exactly whats going to happen, as if you've read about it before or something )

so..

After me, others could talk about eachother's future lucid experiences based off of their names and maybe the idea/concept of another person's advice/knowledge would spark sub-concious DILD experiences.

After reading some sort of exterior user input concering me lucid dreaming, I'll test to see if attaining the lucid state is more easy. I won't forget to report back, truthfully too.

Anyone want to try to talk about what my lucid state will look like? Or any general comments about the idea itself? This is all hypothetical but it makes sense in my head.

This technique is similar to what I tired. I was on MSN and decided to 'lie' about a lucid dream I wanted to have (this by no means imply that I lie that I have lucid dreams, only this time)....I was convinced that I did have that lucid dream. But it gave me a lucid dream that I din't plan for...

Interesting. Sounds like it could, in fact, work then.

Ok let me give this a shot, and please correct me if I'm wrong.


Tonight your going to lay down in your bed, and fall asleep. You will soon be in a familiar landscape, yet something will seem wrong. You will perform a reality check, because things just aren't adding up. As you plug your nose and attempt to breath, you notice that the breath passes right through your closed nose. You also count that your left hand contains 7 fingers. You realize you are dreaming, and begin to take advantage of your new found dream control.


Like that?


Or am I supposed to describe myself.

Yeah I guess like that. Let's see if it works.
