Interesting Idea...

[Mancon]

Well today I was just thinking about lucid dreaming and dazed off during class. I was thinking what if there was a liquid to make you have lucid dreams? Well, this gave me an idea. What if you pretended that every liquid or food you drank or ate was a lucid dreaming "Potion"? It's a way to boost your confidence, and maybe actually have an LD! Throughout the day, every time you eat, think that that food/drink will give you an LD! Anyone want to help me test this? I'm trying it tommorow

That's a really good idea, actually... I'm going to try it.

I like this idea. I'll also try it. Edit: Maybe do an RC every time you eat or drink too.

Flashdance is on to something there, that you could use consumption of food and beverages as an RC cue, but that'll only work for those people who see those things in their dreams - I do not ever see food or drinks, sans one lucid where I conjured grape juice. Just believing the food and drinks will encourage lucid dreams is enough to do this test and probably to expect lucids, regardless if you combine it with an RC. I'd do it without, so you can focus on your expectation that food and drink will induce lucids for you tonight. Good luck everyone! I'll give it a little shot myself if I remember to.

[Itachi]

Very good idea ill give it a shot an report back tomorow and see if it worked.

[undeadjellybean]

Nice, I'll do it!

[Itachi]

Hey sorry i never got around to giving it a shot but i will today its saturday im with my dad and hes got money im gonna go get some food and an iced tea and ill tell myself that they will give me lucids. Hope it works i havent had a lucid yet =(

[Lucid_Guy.exe]

Huh...I might need to try that. Using food as a placebo for lucids. I think that's awesome!

What a great idea Mancon! I was thinking about taking advantage of something with your mind, and try to induce lucid dreams. I had the idea forming but not where I knew what i was going to do/use, and you filled in the missing link. Recently, after training myself for Lucid dreaming, recall, ETC. My visualization skills became more advanced. I can now visualize things up to 4 planes. Thanks a lot dude, I will post results on what it did. Maybe not tonight because I will be at a party and stay at a different house. But nonetheless, a lucid attempt will be given -CV

I think its a great idea,but it would never work for me personally.

[ClearView]

Kamilii, I am sure it will. Try to practice tricking your mind into things. For example, find a two glasses of water with the exact same water/temperature. Drink one, and then think of a cold mountain such as Everest. Then, tell your brain that the other glass will be colder than the other, and imagine yourself drinking the water and feeling it's coolness. It worked for me, and It might've worked for others. -------100th Post--------Thanks Mancon -CV

I can't say for sure that this technique induced my 2 lucid dreams, because lately I've been having random ones without even trying much. Nonetheless this technique helped! Thank You!

[Snowy Egypt]

XD I've done this before! Granted it may have been before I knew about Lucid Dreaming, but when I was a bit younger I use to pretend any Kool-Aid I drank would make me dream. I've actually been telling myself off and on recently when I'm drinking something that I'll have a Lucid. I'll help you try this too Mancon.

It did help me get farther into the process than usual. It is definitely worth a try, however you must try and trick your mind.. -CV

Also you can use this technique to improve recall, also. Say instead of thinking the food will give you lucid, think it will help you remember dreams! Thanks everyone for the support!

[LiveInTheDream]

I like this idea! I think tonight I'll try it using stuff that's also supposed to boost dream clarity, so it's a win-win situation all around
