Heh, been a while since I've been here.
Looking up lucid dreaming again...and it all seems manageable for me, except for one problem: I can't seem to shut my mind up! Thoughts are constantly running through my head, and it's difficult to silence them. I need help in doing so, so I can enter a potential WILD or something similar.

He says that the mind constantly feels threatened and its defense is spamming random useless thoughts. So if you just observe the thoughts instead of actually analyzing and pondering them they will eventually stop appearing and will die out. I know that is a lot to do when you're trying to go to sleep but just do it as much as you can without exerting too much stress on your brain :). I am very interested in how this works for you so PLEASE keep me updated with your results either by this thread or PMing me :banana:.
