Sub Consciously Induced Lucid Dream Okay here is a rather new approach to Lucid Dream induction that has allways worked for me and is working again after a long dryspell. It is a passive method that has given me, allthough irreliable and occasional, many Lucid Dreams quite frequently. Innitially I had alot of Lucid Dreams, but my ability to lucid dream seemed to diminish greatly whenever I would put CONSCIOUS effort into having one (WILD, RC's, DILD, TILD..etc) Also reading the different viewpoints on and induction techniques of the many different ppl here on Dreamviews has in my idea only lead me further away from Lucid Dreaming rather than closer to it. Sounds familiar to you? Then this "technique"( or rather lack thereof ) might be for you. So what I did after the discouragement and confusion Dreamviews-discussion had brought me; I first let the whole topic of Lucid Dreaming go. Deliberately let it go for a while. Then I started getting interrested again in Lucid Dreaming and instead of trying a technique, I simply had Lucid Dreaming on my mind for a while before sleep, but not predominantly, not even consciously. I more sort of can't help automatically thinking about Lucid Dreaming whenever I see my bed you know? And whataya know I'm having Lucid Dreams again and quite often too. About 1 lucid Dream a week on average. How? I guess that since I only gave lucidity a quick, automatic thought, before heading off to sleep paying lucidity no further CONSCIOUS attention, I no longer had Lucidity in my Mind Consciously, but instead I would let it go and just go to sleep without a the slightest thing or effort in my Mind. This way I allow my Lucid Ambition to sink from my Conscious mind into my SubConscious Mind. By letting it go again. For me this is a recipe for success. So to give a short oversight: You go to bed, see your bed, Associate the sight of your bed with Lucid Dreaming; think of Lucid Dreaming briefly, Let it go again and just go to sleep without any conscious efforts. Just Fall asleep. This way you hand the Lucid task over from your Conscious Mind to your Subconscious Mind: A part of your mind that, if you don't interfere with it with your conscious mind, knows Excellently what to do to attain Lucidity. In a way superior to your Conscious Mind. Give it a try, especially if you feel, like me, that Conscious effort of utilising ILD-techniques are hardily or totally not working for you to induce LDs. Try and give some feedback. Feedback's much appreciated and may help improve this method and develop it into a Great Effortless LD-technique. Sweet L U C I D Dreams.

Hmm, this is very interesting. I've been trying to LD almost every night for the past 5 months. And all I have to show for it is 7 LD's. Which, isn't bad but only having 1 LD every 3 weeks gets frustrating. I just wish I could find a technique that actually worked for me. I'll have to give this a shot. Although, i like thinking about Dreaming all day long. It helps me cope with the intermittent drudgery of this reality and helps shed a new perspective. But I'll have to see.

Yeah well the trick in this method is to let the conscious thoughts of lucid Dreaming go so they have time to "sink" into one's subconscious mind.It has drastically improved both my DreamRecall and Lucid Dream Frequency and still getting better.

Dunno It's not suggesting. Suggestion is for people who have little faith. It is still trying as if you can't allready. This technique is no technique. It is effortlessness; The thought of lucidity comes automatically when I see my bed. Isn't that so for all dedicasted lucid Dreamers? To let that be enough is more faith than hypnosis. Hypnosis is basically finding a way to fool yourself.. Into thinking you can do something, while I KNOW I can do something. It makes ALL the difference.

I'm surprised at your conclusions. They logically make sense. It's like your conscious and your subconscious mind signed a petition where they both have to share 50 - 50 of the lucid effort. By this I mean that before you go to bed you have to put conscious effort into preparing your mind for a lucid dream that night. Now when you're in bed and are ready to fall asleep, you have to let all go as agreed, letting the subconscious mind do its part- which completes half of the share. Now I realized that I put so much conscious effort into lucid dreaming that I left my subconscious mind empty handed. That is all. Wow, thanks SKA. You really shed some light on the forums. This is something I look forward to. Keep it up & Thanks again
