My Technique keeps working

Remember to keep in mind that everyone had an individual technique that works best, so don't just give up if a technique that is specified here isn't as effective as you would like.

Wow, this is amazing. This is the first technique that I've used where I have successfully achieved becoming lucid. This is awesome. I even managed to complete the lucid task. :D :boogie: :D

1. You need to set your alarm clock so that you have at Least 6 hours of sleep.

2. When the alarm goes off just turn it off and go back to sleep.

3. The next time you have a brief awakening, lay in the supine position.

4. Relax, close your eyes, and start visualizing being in your backyard during daytime. Now start moving along the perimeter of your backyard and start touching things such as doors, garbage cans, walls,etc.

Tactile sensation IS VERY IMPORTANT when your visualizing. Without it, it will be very hard to enter a Lucid dream. I think the tactile sensation makes you forget about your real body and helps focus on your dream body.

5. Once you start walking around your backyard touching things as you go. You will know when you've entered the dream. Its like you get sucked into the dream.

How long does one have to wait for this to work, on average?

Which part? The Brief Awakening?

From awakening until entrance into the dream?

From the point of waking up to entering the dream usually takes 1 minutes.

See, I've tried this kind of technique many times. Usually, nothing happens for a number of minutes and I become frustrated and end proceedings.

The normal scenario goes like this. I will wake up at 5 am, lie in bed trying to remember the last dream I had, consider whether or not I should write it down. If I decide it was good enough to write down, I know I've missed my chance at dream reentry. If I decide it wasn't, I've already let my mind wander too much by trying to remember, so I can't concentrate on this technique.

The only times I can get it to work are when I decide ahead of time I won't record any mid-night dreams. Then this takes a toll on my dream recall if I do it a couple nights in a row.

Any advice?

get a digital voice recorder from radio shack for 20 bucks. Record your dreams with the recorder. When you get up in the morning write them down in your journal.

Question!

If I wake up initially from my alarm after six hours and I have to pee will it ruin my chances of doing this technique if I go to the bathroom, go back to sleep, and then do the technique next time I wake up?

I don't know why I thought of that, but it just seems like it would disrupt something since the technique requires you to go right back to sleep after your alarm goes off.

sure its okay if you need to take a piss or even need to eat.

i just found out the other night that when wilding, this helps a lot:

if ur walking around and u find that a tree is in ur way (or something in ur way), instead of walking around it, walk right on through it. this helps give ur brain that slightly unrealistic touch that will spark ur dream and imagination.

dunno if this works for u, but it sure does for me. it is noticable too. like when i walk through that tree, my body just sort of tingles. shortly after of course, SP-2 seconds-dream

Is this safe to try on a school night? Do you lose sleep during a lucid dream or is it just a normal dream?

I need quick replies, so I know if I should try it or not. (Going to sleep soon)

You won't lose much sleep with this, since you're not staying up for a WBTB. Lucid dreaming is the same as regular dreaming in that your body is technically asleep. Only your mind is conscious. So no, you won't lose any sleep except for what you lose during the brief awakening which is hardly any at all.

Alright, thanks. Wish me luck, my first attempt at lucid dreaming.
I'll post with results tomorrow.

Will you always have the brief awakening???

Has anyone tried this technique with any less than 6 hours of sleep?

Typically if I have 6 hours of sleep I can't get back into bed again (with or without melatonin, I might add).

Damn, didn't work last night. I don't think I did it right. I was so tired I don't think I got in that position and imagined my backyard. Hmmmmmm.

Any tips on how to wake up less tired to do this? >.>

after trying this technique a few times, i finally got lucid doing it. :D

i don't know if i got into supine position. if i am comfortable, i don't move so i can fall asleep faster. i was able to feel myself walking down the steps. then at some point i got the visual. it wasn't like the visual stuff just popped into my head. i just realized, "wait a minute, i am actually seeing this now and not imagining it." it was weird. i still think it was a WILD though because i didn't have a break in my thought. then i touched something to be fully in the dream and went on about my business.

thanks.
