Thread: My Technique keeps working

It isn’t working for me Tried it last night (this morning)

keep trying and it will come

I'm having a hard time of it too. I tried it yesterday morning, to the letter, but still couldn't concentrate and kept drifting off. I only had an hour and a half after the 7 hour wakeup-and-immediately-BTB point, so maybe I just missed an REM phase. Tonight I'm going to try it like I did last weekend, with a full 1 hour WBTB between hours 6 and 7.

This seems like a great idea, especially because I seem to have a hard time not getting my mind all full of excess thoughts while trying to wild. WILL TRY TONIGHT!!! CANT WAIT!

ahh I keep wanting to try this but I always forget! I'm going to try to do this tonight. It sounds like a pretty good idea... if only I could bring myself to remember it

Yay I'm going to do this tonight, last night i was too excited and focused when doing this, I naturally did this before finding out here, now I will act naturally but it's not really different, I will try to limit my excitement and try it again, thanks for confirming this though.

I got it to work this morning. I just thought about my backyard and before I could "touch" anything I fell into the vibrations. Nice work dude.

congratulations Menthol.

I may have unlocked some key to Lucid Dreams. Its been working for me very consistently

felt something kinda intense when i attempted this. i chose to visualize fixing an iPod since i do this regularly. like i h8 reality said, something you're really familiar with. it was easy to remember the feeling of carefully working inside an iPod. this is different than his recommendation in that the visualization was like a macro-film, close-up screws and cables and small parts. dunno if that's the best choice but it was easier than thinking about something outside.

i have a question about the intense feeling. do you feel kinda hot when you begin to WILD? as your body slopes into sleep but your mind remains awake, do you feel at the edge of a force? hard to describe. anyway i felt like i got close but spaced out and dreampt of something else.

it seems true that your body awakes again naturally after an hour, i didnt know that. cool.

something else i wonder. what do you think about changing to the other side of the bed or sleeping on the couch when you wake up after six hours? would being in another place slightly heighten your mental activity? i've noticed sleeping somewhere new causes you to be less lazy.

and if you're hungry after the six hours i recommend some crackers before sleeping again. helps you sleep.

The feeling is hard to explain, its like all the sudden a rush come over you as your entering the dream. This is very important if you feel that your about to enter a dream don't just stand there, start running or start rubbing your hands together. Your literally at the edge of awake /asleep, so the key is to focus on your dream body.

Ive never changed rooms or changed my positions so I cant say anything about that. However there where times when I woke up after 6 hours and I felt hungry and ahd to piss.

Its okay go piss or eat, but dont take to long.

I H8 Reality, I cannot thank you enough for developing this technique!! I tried it last night and it worked far better then anything I have tried before. It was increadably easy and fast to enter my LD, I had a dream guide for the first time (in the form of an African tribal shaman), and I flew for the first time in my LD. This is a great techniques and you should try to get it put in the Turtorials section (anlong with some cool -ILD ending of course!!! )

I have my first dream last night watching youtube after doing this method, I need to be aware though, usually I don't remeber my dream...

congratulations everyone, im able to lucid dream at will thanks to this technique and so will you if you keep practicing.

It's called conceptual thought. =P

I'm going to guess you no longer actually do your "technique" anymore but just jump straight to something that you can't quite put into words, right?

Well, I don't know WTF is wrong with me. I seem to be the only person for whom this isn't working. I either drift off into a non-lucid, or I'm so aware that I can't fall asleep and enter a dream.

Im having the same problem as unseen wombat with the exception of last night where after i drifted off i hade a 10 second spastic dild got excited and woke up

is anybody having any problems when u wake up after 6 hours, go back to sleep, then after you wake up the second time u can't get back to sleep?

Okay, I will say this. This technique did work for me. I'm still skeptical about what exactly was the key for it working (i.e., sleep/wake schedule, or feeling objects) but it did work. I've had many WILDs and they have come from visualizations, feeling objects and just simply going blank. Therefore, I'm not sure what exactly was key here.

I think many people try to come up with a universal way for everyone to be able to WILD and this is extremely difficult because in a lot of cases the individual has to find the way that works for them.

That being said, this is the closest to something that might work for the masses. I've only tried it once so I will try it several more times before drawing a conclusion, but the way it worked was definitely one of the "cleanest" entries, and fastest, i've had into a dream.

you'll have more success the more you do it

you don't want to be too tired during the brief awakening or else you'll fall asleep, and you dont want to be too awake during the brief awakening or else you wont fall back to sleep. Just keep trying and it will come.

Also I noticed that even if you dont get a Lucid Dream directly from my technique it significantly increases our odds of having a DILD

I've been away from forum for a while now, but been trying to lucid dream the past week. I noted what you said about having 6 hours.

I looked at my own sleeping pattern and realized i only give my body 5-6hrs sleep a night, then i get up for work. (Go to bed at 10, get up at 5 for work)

Maybe this is the reason i don't get many lucid dreams?

its very likely thats the reason why you don't have much Lucid Dreams. Most people have Lucid Dreams in the early hours of the morning. Your missing out on REM if you only sleep for 6 hours
