Thread: Off and On with Lucid Dreaming?

What makes Lucid Dreaming the best hobby is that you always have time for it. Everybody sleeps.

During the day, the best things you can do is do reality checks periodically throughout the day. Really believe that they may work - don't doubt that you're in a dream until the RC says so.

The best thing to practice while on such a schedule is trying to DILD (Dream Induced Lucid Dream). This is where you realize that you are dreaming while going to bed normally. An excellent tutorial on this is here: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...cid-dream.html.

Also, I recommend you sign up for the DILD course. The instructors there will help you out on what you should do: DILD

Hope you find a way to make LDing a hobby!

I second in recommending DILD, although my opinion might be slightly biased due to it being my main and favorite method. With the exception of RCing it takes no time out of your day--the whole process of becoming lucid happens when you're already asleep. I think MILD would work just as well, too.

Adding onto what DreamscapeGoat said about RCing, I agree it's definitely important you don't do them mindlessly; forget everything you think you know about the world around you and really look around and question if you're dreaming. Sometimes it's even worth doing the RC twice even if it's already told you you're in reality; I know it sounds a little obsessive-compulsive, but remaining in that questioning state even after the RC and double-checking once more has saved me from failing to go lucid more than once.

Definitely MILD is your solution. RCing as mentioned above, few minutes to write your dreams in the morning, and 10 minutes while falling asleep for affirmations and visualizations. Good luck .Maybe WBTB too, doubles your chances by my experiences.
