Thread: The easiest way to a LD?

I'll give you the general catch-all answer that pops up in any thread where basically any question is asked.

IT VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON

Well there you have it. If you're a newbie here with lots of questions, prepare to hear that answer a lot. The most annoying part of that answer is that it's usually the correct answer, as everyone responding has a wildly different actual answer based their experience.

Ditto.

Even if it varies, what you can do is pick one that seems right for you. One that goes with your sleep schedule or sleeping habits, for example.

I completely agree.

However, there are three things that everyone who is serious about learning to LD should do. These are:
Keep a dream journal
practice reality checks
use autosuggestion

Beyond this, I remember how confusing it was to try to choose a LD technique. So I'll point out a few things.
DILD or MILD are good if your mind is highly suggestible and you don't want to go for a more direct technique.
WILD with WBTB is good if you fall asleep easily and don't mind missing some sleep to get a LD. You will probably feel SP and may have some HI, so if either of these freak you out, this isn't a good technique for you.
DEILD is good if you are willing to put in some prepreration. DEILD is the only technique I'm aware of that has a nearly 100% success rate if done correctly. You won't loose any sleep with DEILD, but you may have HI or SP.

I hope this helps!
