Hello Ladies, Gentlemen,


Let me start off by saying that I have rejoined the lucid dreaming community and will be active again.
But lets get to the purpose of my thread.

Recently, since I have started again, I have been practicing the Can-Wild/Mild method which I kind of mixed together. My exact technique will be posted below and hopefully we can go from there.

You may be thinking.... ok? what the hell is this thread about then.

Well I have been having a block from lucidity. Basically, I think it may be a mental block but I am not sure.

Here is what I mean:

"My Technique"

I go to bed keeping a mantra in my head that is this:
"When I wake up from my alarm I will not move, and recreate the past dream scene in my head."
I go to bed.

***CANWILD method

I set my alarm for 3:00 am because I have found this is the starting of one of my longest REM periods.
I wake from my alarm at this time, and everything goes accordingly.
I experience sleep paralysis, with vibrations and all the good stuff.
However, I keep the dream scene in my head, and I relax and let my body do all the work. But, my problem is that it goes on forever, it does not stop, or intensify or anything of this nature. Everything simply continues on and on at the same rate. I have been doing Reality checks and all have failed always, so I eventually give up and go to sleep.


I thought that maybe this technique maybe just isn't for me. However that doesn't seem to be the case. The only Lucid Dreams that I have had were very short DILD's that mean very little to me. I had basically very little clarity, control, and awareness.
I can do all the WILD's I want by the book, but simply I cannot transition into a dream.

That, I believe is my problem. I cannot transition into a dream. I don't know what I am doing wrong DV.

***NOTE:

For those of you not familiar with the Can-Wild method, you set an alarm that turns off by itself. You wake up from the alarm during your REM period and not move at all. You create a past dream or a dream scape you want in your head and you transition into that dream. Thats my understanding of it at least. I will post a link to that thread at the bottom of this one.
