Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind

I have decided to continue sharing my dreams here. I have learned new things and learned better ways to improve my chance of lucidity and maybe the real secret of WILD, ok maybe not, but it feels like no one ever talks about it.

I will be sharing my dreams, ideas and progress here.

I will now share the best guides about lucid dreaming there is!

In two years of pracctise I have finally learned the mindset of lucid dreaming - learn from unsuccessful attempts and don't get discouraged by them. I learned this from:

Lucidipedia - [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrV4vEDPkB0[/url] - The Mindset of the lucid dreaming pracctise and much more.

Then I learned why lucid dreaming techniques works and what happens in the brain while doing them.
So by knowing that, it's easier to have the confidence on succeeding.
(It might be hard to follow exactly what he sais, but rewind and listen again, this is gold!)

DreamWarrior - [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RFQUDlIAUM[/url] - The Science of lucid dreams.

And then I discovered the perfect guide of how to DEILD. Now I have learned to easily have atleast 1 lucid dreams per week (Fairly often) with the use of indirect techniques, which is techniques performed upon awakening to see if you are close the dream or the phase as the author calls it.

Michael Raduga - [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FysT50Ap0XU&feature=related[/url] - The best lucid dreaming method according to me.

Now with these three combined I am unstoppable. :)

And last but not least, the secret of how to WILD.

If you watched DreamWarriors videos you understand that the best technique to get aware of a dream is the WBTB so you get a REM-REBOUND. Then you can make a WILD attempt.

But the thing is that many people think that the goal is to attain "sleep paralysis" in order to have a lucid dream.
But the goal is to D R E A M. To be able to dream we have to fall asleep, otherwise it would be called hallucination...
And today I read in the SOBT and watched a video on wilding from lucidipedia, which changed my view on wilding.
Instead of focusing on keeping the awareness on one single thing for an eternity, which probably wont make you dream because it's not in even in the dream nature to be focused and stable, your goal should be to fall asleep for a short second, minute, hour and THEN regain awareness and consciousness again.

So how do we do that?
Actually I don't know... :P But what I do know is that this have happend to me many times before, that I focus on WILDing and suddenly I just doze off, but somehow I regain awareness again. But when this happend I treated the attempt as a failure and I wasn't aware of that this is when I should have looked for non-physical signs with indirect techniques.
So it's basically feels like a DEILD, but it actually isn't, it is not a DREAM EXIT or DREAM CHAIN, because what we are actually doing is waking up in the dream and using indirect techniques to see if we are non-physical (dreaming) then we just get out of our dreambed.
And that sounds good right? Instead of focusing on staying still for hours, you sleep through the attempt and start at the end.

So the secret of WILD is to aim for lapses of consciousness, because these are opportunities to DEILD more effectively.
I will tell you about all of my coming attempts from now on.

Good luck to you and I will see you tomorrow :)
