Thread: Most Successful Method?

Well I'm no Maverick :-p but maybe I can enlighten you a bit. I got interested in LDing like around christmas time... I read LaBerge's book, and discovered this website. I tried sooooo hard to LD at first, I thought about it like 24/7, kept a dream journal, was on this website all the time, did reality checks compulsively hehe. However I didn't really see any results other than increased dream recall. I lost motivation after a few weeks, and stopped doing RCs and dream journaling. However, I still try to remember my dreams as soon as I wake up, and I've been tryign to keep myself in a critical state of mind at all times.... Always watching out for things that are odd, and questioning whether I'm sleeping or not. Lately I have started seeing some results from this more passive method. I had my first quasi-lucid dream a little while ago: I kept telling myself it was just a dream, but unfortunately I didn't fully understand what that meant.

You will definately see results faster if your thoughts are occupied by dreaming, but don't expect too much too soon or you will get frusterated and lose motivation like I did. Take your time, get your dream recall up, do RCs, always observe your surroundings critically, and you'll see results within a few months I promise =D

well i know that for beginner WBTB and MILD are the easiest to learn and seem to have to most success for beginners. However a good amount of people seem to have success with WILDs and some with HILD.
