Kind of off topic... But.... Is that Sageous? Attachment 7907 = Attachment 7908 ???
I will have one LD :)
LOL... Not sure... words are extremely powerful... however, is true that the subconscious does not understand negations (Reason why saying "I will not wake up prematurely from my LD" is a bad mantra..) So the subconscious will change won't into will hehehehe. Still, I like more the positive.Quote:

not true its uderstand them but not work with them very well its very dependent on state conscious
usage of not need prefrontal cotex function to use top-down influnece to turn off mental representation or block its apearence
in less awake state the "not" trick work better but still is not very good idea use it it can create lot of mess

How subconscious works with negation
It is often argued that subconscious cant use negations and not understand them , its not entirely true its understand them just can not easily avoid the activation of memory traces .After activation its tries to turn off / block the trace. The level of activation in most cases greater than the level of blockage causedby negation.If we are stressed orin deeper trance, hypnosis and higher brain functions are limited and blocking almost nonexisttent.This situation is often used in hypnosis.
Experiment: Measurement of activation subjective concept: Pink Elephant (nuber is subjective level of activation)
Pink Elephant 47-56
Do not think of a pink elephant 37-42
Do not think of a pink elephant 1min 37-42
You can not think of a pink elephant 12
You can not think of a pink elephant for 1min 6
You must not think of a pink elephant 42
You must not think of a pink elephant 1min 0.6 to 0.2 (is really a problem to think about him)
You must not think of a pink elephant because it is a big 15
You can not think of a pink elephant because is big for 1min 80 (interesting because most people are able to bypass logic for me activate it and anylize reason)
I successfully used "I will not be afraid/ I am not afraid" to reduce occurence of nightmares and not to be afraid or as afraid when facing challenging dream figures.Quote:

Anyways, since posting here: time for another ld! :D
I had borderline ld last night. It wasn't lucid enough to add to my count, though. I was trying a new method (visualization, incubation) so it was kind of expected. I partially incubated another dream though!
I've been thinking a lot more about LD lately now that my favorite computer game isn't working again and I'm bored.
I'm sure I could LD quickly enough with my old trusty method but things get a little dicey when I try to create a new, better method. I still want to get better! Therefore, things might get a little dicey if you get my drift.
I really want to complete the TOTM, though! I'll have an ld tonight.
I guess I should post here. Maybe I will get my first in a few months
Greatest homework ever
Since I have posted here I will have a lucid dream tonight
Not fair!Quote:

That was easy...
Time for round two!
LOVE these threads! I WILL have a lucid dream tonight. One with a high level of lucidity, too. On top of that, it will be so vivid, that I'll remember every single detail in the morning, without even trying. No "but"s about it. Definitely reporting back in the morning :) Good luck everyone!
I've been summoned to the military of my mind for a tour of service. I'm off to slay some dream-demons, wish me luck! I'm going to do it up.
its time i get back in the game its been too long IM IN!
Well, it kind of worked. I had a semi-lucid, but forgot all of it.
Is there a thread to post in that will make me remember my dreams?
It's time would like multiple lucids. It's been a while!
I'll have 2+ lucid dreams tonight.
Ya know what they all say? "The third time's the charm." ...well, here's my round 2. I will not lucid tonight, but I will tomorrow. :)
I need to go to a particular place. So yeah, bedtime for me.
