how do you effectively RILD and PILD?

[murchizon2]

I was wondering about RILDs and PILDs. how do you use autosuggestion to make sure there is a connection between LDing or not and reward or punisment, so that your subconsious knows? do RILDS and PILDs work best together? thnx.

From what I've read, RILD and PILD are only about punishing yourself when you fail to have a lucid dream, and reward yourself when you sucessfully have one. I've never heard about using autosuggestion with those techniques? I would assume that RILD and PILD work well together. Personally, I'm a bit sceptic to the effectiveness of the techniques, and I've never heard of anyone using them before.

QUOTE] what i mean by 'autosuggestion' is that; it is one thing to punish and reward yourself, yet does it actually transfer into your mind, and what do you have to say to yourself to make that transfer?

I think what you would need to tell yourself something like "Since I did not lucid dream last night (insert punishment)." Or "Since I had a successful lucid dream last night (insert reward here)."

Note: I AM IN NO WAY SUGGESTING A PERSON SHOULD DO THIS TECHNIQUE Before you diss the possiblity of a technique like this, I suggest you refresh yourself with the studies of BF Skinner and other behaviorists.

I currently implement RILD. When I have a lucid dream, I get 5 Jelly Bellys. They're my all time favorite candy, and I've restricted myself to eating them only when I get a LD. I haven't yet figured out an effect PILD though.
