Thread: A new method (DILD+MILD)

Actually, you guys are correct. It works for me, most of the time.
The trick here is to use rubbing your hands as a lucidity prompt in dreams - like a dream sign. For some people new to this technique sometimes avoiding the urge to rub your hands in bed is really quite hard and sometimes will produce a dream in which you rub your hands.
But once you get used to doing it, it will start to appear in your daily residue, causing you to sometimes spontaneously rub your hands in dreams.
Also, I invented this method just to be clever as rubbing your hands also stabilizes the dream. If you don't become lucid upon the time you rub your hands, at least it will prolong the dream and make it more vivid. It's been helping me with my LD progress and dream recall greatly as I had a pretty big dryspell this month.

Am I wrong, but isn't the main thing that stabilizes the dream is the expectation of it?

I had the idea of doing stabilizing techniques as part of my RC song and dance I go through(check memory, check surroundings, stabilization, check text, check hands, do other RC.)

So it could work, if the intent to stabilize is there with it, not just a self made dreamsign.

But... this is hardly original.

Well if it works then it's good enough ;p

Just RC. Why develop compulsive hand rubbing (or at least look like it) when you can just skip the middleman and do RCs?
