Well, you are definitely supposed to do consistent reality checks during the day to get in the habit of questioning reality, which will eventually carry on to your dreams. Gab's guide to DILD is a great resource for this. |

Hey all, as the title says, what do you guys do IWL to help your chances of lucidity at night? Basically, what do you do throughout the day that you think helps you achieve lucidity when you go to sleep? Is it ADA, persistent reality checks, MILD, etc? |

Just a scared old llama on the outside planning to dominate these forums...
Don't you dare defy me!
Note: I'm big on grammar, you won't see one error coming out of me!
One thing that is mentioned less often is to read other people's dream journals. |

I am sure about illusion. I am not so sure about reality.
Paying attention to life (mindfulness): frequent critical reflection moments (where am I, how did I get here, is this a waking location?). Awareness peaks and RCs upon transition of location. Keeping an eye out for anything odd, different, new, changed, dreamlike. Breath awareness centering back to the present moment. RCs. Always trying to catch and recover from "zoning out," especially in familiar places like home, work. |

Thinking about it a number of time, talking about it, reality checking occasionally (always nose plug... never fails in dreams), coming on this site, and when i see certain things thinking to myself oh that would be cool to experience. Just this past week I saw Avengers age of Ultron and decided it would be cool to be like the Incredible hulk and toss people around... became lucid that very night and tried it. It's all about putting that idea in your head constantly... It's like the brain never really gets a break from it for too long so it's going to manifest itself. |
