Thread: Lucidity - the ULTIMATE tease !!

I don't think I even have a method, I become lucid when I see something "out of the ordinary" when i'm dreaming. Sometimes I just all of a sudden become lucid for no reason at all.

Clairity, I've been wondering about the same thing since I started LDing 4 months ago.

Here's a not so serious thought: I know it sounds kind of "Castaneda-ish" but I wonder if we need to store or replace some kind of energy or "personal power" to a certain level before we lucid dream again? It either happens or it doesn't for me each night. I'd like to know why also.

Lucky27, that's how I become lucid most of the time in DILD's. Something isn't "right" and I ask myself if I'm dreaming. I rarely question my frequent dreamsigns even though they parade by me each night in my dreams.

Most of my recent LD's have been WILD's. I have a feeling WILD's will be the way to go for me as I've had them more frequently than DILD's.

Hey, I've been lding for just over two months now, with only 3 small ld's, one from MILd, and the other two were random. I took a break for a while, and now I am trying to repeart the same method for MILD everysingle day, with the hope that soon it will pay off - I think that the main reason it seems so hard is because I spend so much time switching between methods, and didn't get the chance to try solidly.

I think that given time I will be able to consistently produce them, and the only way to do that is through WILD - if you can step straight into a dream, you must be going prety good.

I like that idea.. like maybe you need a night of \"rest\" in between attempts. :-) As I said I've never been able to LD two nights in a row so maybe I'll try skipping a day or two between attempts and see what happens.

I too rarely question dreamsigns or things out of the ordinary.. I just rationalize and go with the dream.

99% of my LDs have been WILDs.. DILD just doesn't seem to work for me (I wish it did.. it would take a lot less effort)!

I can relate about switching methods.. I mean how long do you stick with a method until it works?
Then, how long do you stick with a method that worked once but not the next 4, 8 or 10 times?

There is a definate "art" to being able to WILD.. and when it works there's nothing like it! :-)

I would love to find a fixed method of LDing. That would be beautiful! Speaking of Casteneda, the last time I LDed was when I was reading his book "The Eagle's Gift"!I wasn't even trying to LD.....Anyway, it's been over a month ago...Well, anyway if anyone finds a method that works everytime for them, tell me. I'll give it a try.

I'm still searching, my goal is to master WILD's. So far the WTB method works best for me....
