You obviously have something against him (admitted above). I am not all about defending him. But considering his methods work so well for some, why can't we have a fair debate about those methods instead of instantly saying they don't work as this thread started doing. If his methods work so well for so many new lucid dreamers, then why would we take that away from the newbie community?? I was a newbie and his methods worked flawlessly for me and still do. That is my very point and a pretty good one at that. Why declare something that works for so many as something that does not work for anyone and point much of the community away from it? How devoted are you to helping people discover lucid dreaming and have their first experiences when you are taking away great methods that do work? Is it politics? The fact that he has forums also? |

I too had to pay for my lucidology 101 course too before it became free and I was very happy with my purchase. I bought it because of the positivity of the testimonials at the saltcube website. My first attempt at his method - a very nice easy lucid dream. In fact it doesn't get much easier than this for a lot of people. Wake up, start the flash timer, go back to sleep and have a lucid dream. And Nick has decided to kindly now give us this for free. |

really, Really, REALLY now i'm not as good as people at lucid dreaming on here but it seems to me that all he is doing is just DDDDDDRRRRRAAAAAGGGGGIIIIINNNNNGGGGG out the technique we call a WILD which was invented by stephen la berge which really gives no justice to him saying " oh all the other techniques didn't work here come try mine!!!" all he is really saying is "don't move too much when you wild and now here come buy this bullshit program i invented and no one else is a good as me" |

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake
I've been staying away from this thread the best I can, but it isn't the discussion I have a problem with, its how the very first post started off the discussion. The guy who started it, now absent, was a nuisance to DV. He ran from thread to thread attacking them and started threads attacking good methods, not just lucidology. This thread started off pushing newbies away from very good methods that work very well for many people, Hence, knocking newbies out of many opportunities for lucidity, thus slowing their progress. Had I listened to the things I found here about lucidology when I first found it, as a newbie, I would be far behind from where I am now. I found this thread when I first joined DV and went against its advice eventually finding that it was misinformation. THAT is why I am here. I want to help as many people as I can to learn lucid dreaming, not set them back as this thread would have me had I paid it any attention. Also, lucidology 101 is free and has lots of good information for New lucid dreamers. I'm not trying to sell L102, because it's also easily found for free. |

Umm ok, I was being civil. Shows how immature some people are I guess. You can rest assured I don't want you in my thread. I made a very excellent point and your come back was childish and senseless. Good job. Not to mention you are showing your bias, the same as this thread started off, by not wanting both sides to be debated. Shame to see you say you are struggling with LD'ing yet not open to all methods apparently. |

you made your point that you don't want to be on this thread SO WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP COMING BACK? and good sir i am open to new methods. at what point did i say nicholas newport doesn't work? i said i don't like how he says he is the only one who has effective methods and that you have to buy a bunch of crap form him. if he said " hi i had trouble with la berges methods, so i have made my versions and they seemed to work for me. I am not saying i am better than them, just trying to bring some different approaches to the methods" but apperantly thats not the case. he says his methods are the only efficent methods. |

Yes you did make a very excellent point below. As a child I wanted to be a cosmologist. I was studying Einstein's general and special theory of relativity in the school library during lunch break when I was fourteen. Today I research any method to see if it has any validity in practical application. If I was a newcomer and not heard of L101 and saw this thread I would have researched his videos and experimented with his methods regardless of the general theme of the thread and come to my own conclusions by attempting to replicate Nick's results. I did replicate results as there was clearly valid information in his videos. And the course is jam packed with a lot of very useful practical information that has little discussion here so it was a great idea to have a new thread devoted to discussing these practical applications. |

Where does he say that in the videos? The last time I spoke to Nick I said I have found techniques that have been far more effective than the ones in Lucidology 101. He asked me what they were. I told him and he replied a couple of weeks later thanking me with several exclamation marks, suggesting he found the information to be really enlightening. That isn't the attitude of a man that says I am the only one that has the only efficient methods is it? |

That is a forum specifically setup for the scientific community and probably why. If I was a member there I would be very careful. |

I watched the first 2 videos, only because someone on this website recommended them. I'm sad to say I didn't recognize the specific logical flaws pointed out. Something about the claimed mind/body separateness felt wrong, but I didn't stop to think about it. I am dissappointed in myself. I try to be a good critical thinker, maybe I need to try harder. Still, the videos sickened me. There's a way people have of talking or writing when they're trying to sell you something. Even though he only mentioned that what he offered was 'free', his dishonest 'marketing' tone of voice and way of obviously 'advertising' made it obvious there was some hidden cost. |

Personally I wouldn't have thought that way. I would have digested the free information and if it was effective I would have considered the paid course. Having studied the paid course I understand why it took him four years to put together and why it isn't dishonest marketing. It is information that is generally only known to a small handful of yogi's in Asia. It is actually very good value for what you get. |

Stephen LaBerge didn't invent the WILD technique, he just changed the words and the terms so he could claim he invented it. People have been doing it for thousands of years. It is called Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) in India, it is called many things in many cultures. I will compromise and say that Stephen LaBerge rediscovered it and shared with us his understanding and methods, much like this Nick Newport guy does. Stephen LaBerge also sells books where he shares his techniques. I would never buy a book or CD by either Stephen LaBerge or Nick Newport because I don't need to. I also rediscovered how to WILD as a child (that rhymes) and had my own method. I did not know the scientific explanations, but that didn't matter, because I was a child and I knew how to do it. I tried to teach a few people in high school. I didn't ask for money though. But I don't think that it is wrong to make a living sharing your techniques that work, even if the techniques have been around before in different language. Some people benefit from a different point of view. Maybe it is his style of marketing that repels y'all. Maybe you should blame his agent. |

Yea I know exactly what you mean, that mind / body separateness really just seems to make no sense at all, when its coming from lucidology, but to hear the wild tutorial below explain it.. almost exactly the same way using the same "confusing made up terms" from lucidology, everyone here at dv seems to love it.. hmm |

I guess noone uses whois anymore. :/ At any rate, since this thread has been causing somewhat of a stir, I decided to do some digging myself. But here's a bit of back info first. Back in 2007 I discovered the saltcube website and decided to buy the dvd. Matt Jones is the owner of the saltcube website and the narrator in the dvd. I became curious and wanted more info on this "putting your body to sleep" method so I googled that exact term. A website came up called smoke and mirrors (created as a sub-directory under the infernowolf site). The smoke and mirrors page has been removed for some time but the URL in which I copied the site from was put (and has always remained) at the bottom of the Mind Awake, Body Asleep (formerly How to trick your body into falling asleep while keeping your mind awake) post. I put it there when I created the thread so that people would know I wasn't passing this method and the article off as original creations by me. Granted I've found much success with the method, I'm very quick to tell people that it's not my method. |

Well if you think Nick Newport is a slimey salesman just in it for the money then you really should take a look at this concerning Stephen LaBerge. |
