Thread: Hacktrix's MILD-1 Workbook

Just finished writing up the huge dream I had last night - I still can't post working links but anyone interested can take a look at my journal here:

I'd like to share with you all my idea for forcing reality checks. Basically, I've wanted a new wristwatch for a while, so after a little researching I bought a Vibralite 3 off ebay for £10.50. The reason for buying this model was threefold:

1. It's not the most recent Vibralite model so was not the most expensive
2. It is a digital watch and so can be used for watch reality checks

3. The most exciting feature, and the one most useful for Lucid Dreaming. The Vibralite is so named because it can either beep or vibrate for alarms. It also features an auto-reloading countdown timer. So, what I have done is to set the watch to vibrate instead of beep, and then set the timer for three minutes. Every 3 minutes when the alarm goes off, I ask myself "Am I dreaming?" and do a quick nose-pinch reality test.

This is great because it draws no attention - only I can feel the alarm, and nobody notices a quick pinch of the nose. The idea here is that after a few weeks I will be so used to doing reality checks that I naturally do them all the time, all day. Once it becomes a habit, it will happen in dreams, and voila - the kind of maximal DILD success seen here:
