what do you thing is better? using auto suggestion while falling asleep like saying the mantra until your asleep or saying the mantra 4-5 times before you sleep?
which do you think is better?
any suggestions?
I personally do it until I fall asleep, the one time I did it all the way I did have a LD but I kinda just knew I was dreaming half way through the dream, I dont know if it was just a DILD or the auto-suggestion. :P
Depending on the mantra...
Many mantras are subjective and not true to their tones.
ya, i had the same thing happen to me last night. i mean, ur in bed anyway, its not like ur sacrificing any sleep, so why not do some auto suggestion? it helps me. my first time i did auto suggestion, my friend in my dream was making fun of me, repeating what i was saying as autosuggestino (I will realize i am dream...) although i never became lucid, which sucksQuote:

I can actually focus on that sort of thing better
Gah... sorry...having an agrument with myself...
To answer your question. In my experience auto suggesion works best if I repeat it for a few minutes while I fall asleep, but stop once the random thought and image stage of my falling asleep begins. Because if I try to keep at it I'll just end up not being able to fall asleep. I doubt that saying it "4 or 5 times" would do much, or would take forever to have any effect.
I can't help but comment that you should try CSATILD, which I made up. I don't want to go around telling everybody to use my method, but it's really relevant to the topic!!
