Thread: Is it possible that some people just can't Lucid Dream?

Daytime awareness and maintaining lucidity is just as important for WILD approaches as for DILD: after all, once you're in the dream lucid, you want to be able to sustain that lucidity for a long period of time, that's where day practice really comes in.

definitely true. I think though that people get scared off by the 'all day awareness' label. You don't have to be aware all day- that's for buddhist monks. A little extra awareness goes a long way I think. In any case whilst it is important for DILD and WILD, I think its far more important for DILD. For DILD the awareness is what triggers the lucidity and maintains it, whilst with WILD it only helps maintain it.

If you get good enough at WILD you can LD multiple times a night, and then the LD's will naturally get longer because you have so much practice. I don't do DILD, so I don't know what it would take to get to that level with that technique, but I'm guessing it's not very common, because it would require literally 'all day awareness', which most people can't do.
