Thread: Possible method to break dry spells - the "AILD"

It indeed is true that if we have some kind of undesirable thought and we try to do away with this and forget it, immediately a sort of automatic function of our consciousness is set in motion to retrieve the "forbidden thought" and shove it back into our faces. I've had this with many things.

It wouldn't work if you'd GENUINLY forgot apbout lucid dreaming though. You'd need to forcibly try to do away with the thought and for that I guess you'd need to GENUINLY want to do away with the thought. This is going to be tricky and can you see why? It's the same problem I've had with Autosuggestion/SelfHypnosis. They are basically a sort of way of "fooling" yourself and implanting beliefs in yourself. It's like you're trying to surprise yourself with an ambush: A little hard to do when you yourself know when, where and how you've set yourself up to run into an ambush...since you've set it up yourself. My problem with Autosuggestion explained in a nutshell.

The same problem kind of goes for this idea of yours.
