Hi I'm n00bf0rlyf3.
I plan on doing Method 3 with the candy as I have some good tasting Vitamin C cough drops. I'll be doing it before bed. So all I try to do is not eat it, daydream, and be aware of the flavor the whole time?

And also I've been doing method 2 whenever I get the chance, it's hard

But I do it in my everyday life, not when meditating.

You're a noob.

**n00bf0rlyf3** · 05-12-2012 01:27 PM

How'd you guess?

**Suck4Luck** · 05-12-2012 01:30 PM

I just had a feeling.

**n00bf0rlyf3** · 05-12-2012 02:25 PM

Are you perhaps, a medium?

**Sivason** · 05-12-2012 02:51 PM

Hi noob, in that version, just make sure you stay fully aware of the candy and the flavor. Your brain will attempt to ignore the flavor after very little time. Do not let it happen, keep fully aware of it. That is it. A very basic exercise, but you may be suprised at how hard it is to stay aware enough not to bite the candy! -Eric

1 question for this, how does this help with Lucidity? I understand it just makes you more aware of what you're eating but I don't eat things in my dreams lol

You are going to learn to force your brain to do what you want it to do, not just what it naturally does. Learning to make your mind allow you to precieve impulsses it attempts to remove, gets the brain ready for allowing you to choose which impulses to ignore. Yoga is all about learning to have control over your own brain.
As you develop skills involved with controlling your own mind, you will get much better at WILDs and LDs will respond to your control attempts.

Oh, and it is not about being aware of what you are eating. You are suppossed to stay fully aware of the taste, because after a minute or so, you normally would blank out the taste. Do not let your brain space off about the candy, or in other words "put your f-ing brain in its place." Oh, and that place should be doing exactly what you tell it to do, not what ever it chooses.

Version 1,Level 1
I woke up with my WBTB and was doing version 1 for about 5 minutes, not long but I kept good awareness of the birds chirping

Version 3, Level 1
I put a lemon cough drop in my mouth and I kept awareness the whole time, that was an easy task, I will be trying Level 2 tonight If I can.

Hi everyone! It has been almost two weeks. I hope everyone got a chance to practice. The thread Dream Yoga Basic Skills: Lesson 1, has been updated. I have shared a few ways these skills will be useful in LDs, and the thread is now open to Q & A.

**n00bf0rlyf3** · 05-31-2012 02:40 AM

Yeah I've been meditating before bed listening in. I'm going to start practicing memory and self awareness hardcore

**n00bf0rlyf3** · 06-28-2012 03:19 AM

Woohoo I'm back and ready to do the new stuff. I will be doing
Intermediate Skill #1 Visual training
Since I can already do the Tactile thing, I thought it was something everybody could do

Ofc. I could still improve on it, but I'm doing Visual first. These are what I've been looking for, thanks Sivasion

Ok I have been trying this but I dont see any lights yet..

**Sivason** · 07-10-2012 03:56 AM

It can take weeks to even get started. It is worth it. Start with anything you can see and real watch it. Tell your brain that it needs to learn to pay attention to this stuff. If your braain has never felt the closed eyed visuals were important it would filter it out. Just keep working on it. I am aiming at it taking about one year to really learn the stuff in this course. This one, in paticular is a must have as far as skills go. It is really needed to master LD control. It is intermediate because it really takes time and effort.

**n00bf0rlyf3** · 07-10-2012 04:00 AM

Yeah I can see it takes time and effort, I'm starting to see the some stuff and I can change the color a little bit but not much, I normally just end up visualizing the color or an object of that color

**n00bf0rlyf3** · 07-13-2012 04:36 AM

starting to see the lights
a lot better then when I posted last

**Sivason** · 07-14-2012 04:20 AM

Good job. You are in for a treat. It takes about three weeks to start. That is probably about where you are at? Anyways, now that it has started, this stuff can be awesome entertainment on its own! Have fun.
