Thread: CAT Lucid dreaming technique?

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the CAT (cycle adjustment Technique) for Lucid dreaming. I've heard it's quite effective, but I haven't seen any questions about it, as DILDs and WILDs are much more popular.

I really want to know if it's effective, because i've been trying to have lucid dreams using the WILD technique for about 4 months now, and the only Lucid moments i've had were MILDs from falling asleep during WILDs, and they were only about 10 seconds long.

Just about every technique (including MILD) falls under either the DILD or the WILD category because you are either awake or asleep when the dream happens. I don't think there's really any other state to be in unless your dead.

You can try doing a search for it. Maybe even bump it to raise awarness.

Maybe you should do a search on it. You don't seem to know much about it. Also, I wanted to know if it's "effective", and I wanted to gain that info from people who have tried it and know what they're talking about.

Yeah i dont really know anything about it. ill probably look into it though.

Very few people have actually tried the CAT, at least that I have read about. Snowy Egypt was one of them and if I'm remembering correctly she had a lot of trouble just getting up on time.

Might be worth trying. I've never looked into it, and I have no actual idea where it came from or who made it up. It provides very very basic info in the DV tutorial but no actual legit sources or references. Until I read whatever Daniel Love wrote up, I'm hesitant to buy into it only because you so rarely hear about it, and everyone claims their techniques work; but that's just me.

People who are interested, tutorial for CAT is here.

This is true. In my opinion, you have to want to do it. I didn't want to at the time because it was in the middle of the school year. But yesterday I was thinking of trying it again now that I don't have to worry about getting up for school. I didn't get far with my 1st attempt.....or 2nd for that matter.....but it did help my recall since I was getting up right after a REM cycle, so I'm wanting to try it again. Go ahead and give it a test run. The only downside is that you lose some sleep, but that'll even itself out.
