Thread: Greatly Increase Chances of Having a Lucid Dream

Your sig says that you've only had one LD. How much experience with this technique does that entitle you to? o_O

well yes and no, i have had about 12 times where i realized that i was in a dream because of this technique, but only once was i able to actually control it, plus they only lasted a few seconds so technically, i have only really had one lucid. anyway, that is a problem on my part that i can't seem to keep lucid dreams once i get them, however i can guarantee you this trick works

Well, actually, a lucid is where you know it's a dream. So technically, you had 12 lucids already

And being lucid does not necessarily mean control....

Awareness and control are two different things...but control is the icing on the cake for sure.

control makes it worthwhile. there is no better feeling than controlling your own mind.

sounds like it might be worth a try.
Thanks for the tip.

It is, however,nice to be frozen to the spot knowing you'e dreaming, and when the dream let's you move your like "AHH! Holy shit!"

I like that method...not a fan of the suggestion of school though. I mean, what if technique does indeed induce a dream about school and I somehow forget to make sure I'm dreaming. That means I'm stuck back in school for another few hours! Haha.

During the summer I always get dreams of school. Always. I'm in college now, and already I've had 2 dreams of me being back in High School about to take a test that I did not study for. One of the worse feelings ever.

Something like that happened to me last night. My hair was past my shoulders until I shaved my head yesterday. In my dream last night I still had long hair, and I looked at it and thought, "No, that's wrong, I don't have hair anymore." That got me lucid.

As you're about to go to bed, think of something that isn't the way it should be (EX: I thought I was back at school, even though it is summer now)

Keep thinkin vividly about this, and 90% your dream will be about that

Somehow, this makes a DILD much easier because you realize in the dream that whatever is going on is not right.

OK thanks evilknny9 I'm going to bed now to try! I'll let you know if it works for me. I need help. I can only get tricks to LD to work one time, usually the first time I try, then no more.
