Thread: How Do You Get Lucid?

Wow, I wish I could do that.


The most effective technique I've had for becoming lucid is when I'm about to go to sleep:
1: Lay down, close my eyes.
2: Do the relaxation technique.
3: Remind myself that the next place I will be is in a dream.
4: Visualize a dream. I've never actually had the dream that I visualize, but it reminds me that I can control the dream and that I will become lucid.
5: While I'm in the dream, I will remember that this is a dream and I become lucid. I never do Reality Checks or anything, I just become lucid.

Despite my efforts, the only lucid dreams I've ever been able to get were DILDs. However, I think I can explain how I usually end up lucid in those.

Occasionally when I'm dreaming, everything is calm for a moment, and I'm just standing there, not bothered by false memories, pointless tasks, or dream characters. Without distractions, the true nature of my environment becomes obvious, and I become lucid. The only other common cause of lucid dreams for me is nightmares, where I can usually become lucid from recognizing the particular type of dread and terror they create, since I never really experience it while awake, but this is far less common.

DILDs.?

I just realise i'm dreaming, no reality checks, it just feels different to real life, then I just fly just to make sure and then i'm off.

Dream induced lucid dreams. They're any lucid dream where you realize your dreaming during a normal dream. They can't be created reliably, but in most people, they're the most common type of lucid dream, and reality checking and MILD can increase the chances of them occurring drastically. I haven't had much luck with any methods of directly inducing lucid dreams, but with occasional reality checks, and thinking about lucid dreaming, I manage to have dream induced lucid dreams every week or so.

I prefer to WILD.

Most times I watch my hipnagogic imagry until it forms into a dreamscape and pulls me into the dream.
Other times I feel a shift in my mind and a moment later I 'wake up' in my bedroom, completely aware it's a dream.


And sometimes when I wake up in the morning I just have that feeling that I'll have a LD if I go back to sleep. I go back to bed and viola... LD.

Im no master of WILD technique but I prefer it over DILDs.
