Thread: My Technique keeps working

I tried this last night after a fairly long dry spell of lucids. I woke up after 6 or so hours and just tried the visualisation then (so basically a WBTB) and it worked. It worked extremely well actually, as in the LD was very vivid and I remember all of it afterwards.

Good stuff, Ill keep experimenting

OK, so I tried this again last night after my brief awakening, but I couldn't stay focused on it - again! Instead, I ended up having a VILD, completely by accident. I started imagining being in Halo-world and suddenly I was and then I flew and stuff. It was fun, if unintentional.

I'm interested in this technique though so I'm going to keep trying. I'm going to try what you did, Swank, and just start visualizing as soon as I wake up rather than fall back asleep, etc. I'll probably try to get 7 hours instead of 6 like wombat suggested.

I'll post results tomorrow.

congratulations everyone, I personally think this technique is the most successful I have ever tried.

Keep trying everyone, and I know it will work for everyone

I havnt tried it yet but sounds really easy so ill give it a 2 weeks.

I've been trying this all week. I've had some success, but like I said before, my dream recall has suffered. I don't like having to make the split second decision to either remember the last dream I had or try for a Lucid dream. Too hard to make that decision when I'm all groggy and half asleep.

Am I doing something wrong? Anyone have any suggestions for this? I like both my lucid and non lucid dreams.
