I have been using a 'new' way to have LDs and that is by letting the mind create anything it wants like a randome daydream. Trick is to have the mind freely daydream about LDing stuff with no forcing. The daydream will become more and more intense as I get nearer to falling asleep and the mind will be fully locked onto it like as though it is actively participating in it. Once that is established it will either create a dream about LDing or an LD itself. A good example is that I daydreamed about startrek related stuff and ended up with the cast from startrek TNG in the first dream.
