Hello,
This question is not your average question but I thought it was interesting so I decided to post it.
I've heard brief mentions of people who can almost have a lucid dream on demand at any time (I don't know if this is true, I heard it somewhere around here once) and I was wondering how good at Lucid Dreaming one can get?
Also how good can ones recall get on a related note?
One can WILD every night if they're really good at it, if they've got the technique down very well. As for DILDs, they're trickier because they are randomized - you don't really know when your next one is going to be.
The best recall I've had was six dreams in a night, but it fluctuates.
With the right level of discipline towards achieving the goal of lucidity on command, one can do it. If you are that determined to get it done, what exactly is stopping you? There's no limit other than one you impose upon yourself.
Surely any answer you get here will still fall short of the truth.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, could you be clearer?Quote:

Me personally, I have had never two lucid dreams one after the other, let alone the same month. I know if I try hard enough though I can make it happen more often, it just depends on you. I believe you can do it, have faith in yourself. Follow the techniques and do whatever you think you need to do. I support you 100% :)
I am positive you can do it.
I think he refers to the fact that dreams are different for everyone, so even if people can/can't do it, it will still not be truth for you. Or thats what I would say anyway <.<
If you're Stephen LaBerge you can LD every night, more or less. :P
Realistically, however, your average dreamer won't be able to have a LD every night. While I think it's possible to have a WILD every night, I don't see that happening...just seems like a bit of a stretch.
I've had at least 1 LD every night for many many years now
You can elevate your awareness to such a level that you never lose consciousness. You can be aware throughout all stages of sleeping and dreaming, every night, every day, every minute. This is not really a practical or desirable goal for most people. Still, it is good to know you can take it as far as you want.
Every dream can be a lucid dream if you want it to be.
I think once u master your technique the technique its self is not even needed. You can transfer your waking consciousness to the astral dream scape at will when u get to that point imho. I've noticed that the majority of my ld's did not require a form of reality checks its just a light bulb goes off and i remember where my physical body iz.

Since they are dreams there really aren't any possibilities you can rule out, this is without even starting to mention things you can do while you are 'beyond dreaming'
And I believe people can have close to 100% recall, but of course not even in real life are you paying 100% attention even if you use ADA ;)
I meant the skills it was possible to have regarding the outside of dreams:Quote:

While "visualize a movie scene" is just fancy dream control.
(I'm operating under the assumption that you can visualize pretty much anything if you work enough at it).
I know someone who can fall asleep totally consciously and stay aware during non-REM periods, just listening to their breathing and keeping their eyes closed. It's really wierd.Quote:

I think that might fall into the "You can, but why would you want to?" category of abilities :P.Quote:

Whatever answer any of us could give for what is "possible" would not actually live up to what is actually possible.Quote:
