Thread: My Technique keeps working

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

I've been having trouble lately "entering" my dreams, but I use your technique. Instead of thinking about "feeling" stuff I think about the feeling of SP and it works. I've had it work everytime I've tried it.

I've noticed that timing is very important, brief awakenings after 6 hours of sleep are EXTREMELY important for entering Lucid Dreams, regardless of what style you use to enter a dream.

Another success here using this technique; after a long, long dry spell. Thanks goes to I H8 Reality.

What would you advise on having subsequent LD's?

When you wake from the first one, do you start to visualize then? Or do you fall back to sleep normally and wait for the next brief awakening?

Cheers.

Try this: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ighlight=Dield

Would I be able to wake up at 6 hours from my alarm clock and then immediately try the backyard and tactile visualtion technique?

I'm worried the next time I wake up between REM periods will be too short and I won't gain consciousness enough to actually remember.

Or can I set my alarm to go off at 6 hours and 30 minutes? Will that still have the same effect? Or do I have to wake up the second time naturally?

My alarm is semi-quiet and only wakes me up a little.

Thanks again.

You can try it, but I wouldn't make any guarantees. The technique I developed took me months to develop, and a lot of fine tuning.

My technique will work for virtually anyone who tries it. Just keep trying.

Congratulations Elliot, yes you can do it over and over. As a matter of fact I once did it about 5-6 in a row, after each Lucid Dream I would wake up and do the visualization again and I'd be in a dream again.

My day off tomorrow, would you think the below is ok?

Go to bed at 9pm
Set alarm for 4am, wake up turn alarm off then go back to sleep.
Hopfully wake up at 5am for a brief awakening.
Start visualizing my bedroom and touching everything untill i enter a LD

Cheers.

Timing is perfect. But I would recommends visualizing outdoors, like your backyard for example. Its much easier believe me.

Okay!

Going to try it tonight, ive had a dry spell of well over a year now

Timing is very important for Lucid Dreams, you cant just Lucid Dream anytime during the night. There are certain times during the sleep cycle that are VERY important for inducing Lucid Dreams. I cant stress enough the importance of brief awakenings after 6 hours of sleep.

Also the supine position is very important in inducing sleep. This is probably while people report having Sleep Paralysis mostly in the supine position.

Also the visualization is EXTREMELY important. Because the location, time of day, things you do, and tactile sensation in your visualization all contribute to inducing Lucid Dreams.

Other techniques work perfectly for some and not for other. This technique will work for you as long as you:

- have an alarm clock
- sleep the required time (6+ hours)
- notice when your in a brief awakening
- have normal visualization skills

Well i failed !

Woke up at 4, went back to sleep, woke up again but just couldn't get back to sleep

Yeah, that's what happens to me too. I don't think I'm gonna be able to fall asleep on my back. I always sleep on my side, and I think my body is expecting it.

H8, don't you think that all the fine tuning might have just been making it right for your sleep cycle? Maybe us people who are failing need to fine tune it even more. Great...
