Thread: What do you think is the most IMPORTANT factor for having an LD?

There is evidence in Stephen LaBerge's reported dream frequency during his dissertation study at Stanford University that motivation plays an extremely important role.
Note the bars marked with letters, those are the months when he had to do LD research in the laboratory and therefore needed to have lucid dreams.

Simply telling yourself throughout the day "I am going to recognize that I am dreaming tonight" and really take those words seriously can get you really far.
That is essentially what MILD is all about.
