Could a mantra handle this?

Like nine.

Our subconscious knows everything we know. Its not some autistic kid inside of us.

I feel like this guy just said something that many people don't ever realise.
People often think that when they deal with their subconscious they deal with a kid, so they create pre-historic mantras, like "I. Lucid. Dream." If I were my subconscious I would feel insulted.
Well, no. It is like dealing with yourself, so your subconscious is as smart and intelligent as you.
So, I think that creating mantras works best when you imagine a dialogue between you and your clone.

Yeah something like that happened to me. I set my alarm to 3:30 but then turned it off. I woke up and looked at m clock which said 3:34

whoah.. i never thought of my subconcious that way. at all. but i often use simple mantras or mneumonics such as "I. lucid dream" because they seem to be most effective for me. I would agree that our subconsciouses are as smart and intelligent as we are, but I choose the words I use to communicate with it carefully. Not because I think of it as some sort animal, but because It reacts to the chosen words very specifically and in a way that our conscious minds wouldn't.

I think that what you have to say is pretty interesting. I will try communicating to my own subconscious in a different way, more like a dialogue between myself and my clone and see if there are differences, good or bad.
