Thread: my 100% effective LD method

if you can make this to happen with your mind unconciosly thinking about lucid dream, then you will have an LD.
My way to make this happen is just thinking about lucid dreaming
(you dont have to repeat a mantra or anything)
and then relax and let your mind continue thinking about LDreaming stuff without intention!
and there you go

I think I get what you're trying to say! All our minds "drift" to things, seeming random things, while going to sleep. This phenomenom seems even more noticeable when trying an induction technique that uses focus and concentration, as you're trying NOT to think of anything but lucid dreaming. I think the trick is to make lucid dreaming what the mind drifts TO, and not what we focus on. If LDing is so ingrained into the subconscious that we naturally think about it without trying, then it's sure to happen in a dream, and thus we become lucid!

You know, that's really simple, but it makes a TON of sense, and I've never thought about it that way! This should be called "Zen Lucid Dreaming"; we can only attain that which we don't desire. Kinda like Murphy's law... lol. I wonder what the best/easiest way to accomplish this would be, though... just randomly thinking about LDing throughout the day doesn't seem to be enough, personally...

Hm at first I thought it was stupid but I read through the thread and it definitely makes sense now. The only problem is how to make your mind wander to LDs..

That's....that's so....

BRILLIANT!!!! I would've never thought of something like that to try. Yes!! Now I have something to practice for the rest of the summer.

And Richter, I love the bottom of you sig. It's sooo true; It's only difficult if you believe it so.

its harder than it sounds, you can't just automatically think about Lding, i've tried that method many times, and most the time i end of forgetting and not having a ld. Its harder than it sounds.

yes it is possible to think automatically about LDs , maybe you are using the wrong method for you. i don't know more methods for thinking about stuff automatically but im sure there are some out there waiting for us to discover them.
although i was thinking that this happens almost always when you are very exited about the topic (in this case lucid dreaming).
but anyway every method for LDing works different on people depending on their cerebral characteristics.

but im sure this will work for many people

It is kind of amazing how it could be soooo simple to achieve, this method seems perfect. Any ideas on how to subconciously think about lding without actually thinking about thinking aobut it?

I noticed that when my mind tends to "drift" it is usually connected from one thing to another. Like the first thing I think of is usually connected to the second thing and so on. Maybe if you think of something that's related to LDing to you your mind will wander to it.

Lol I don't know..just an idea.

Ahhhh I finally understood what you mean by this. I'm still a beginner, but everytime I think about lucid dreaming and everything associated with it seriously before I go to bed, I get an LD, every time. I'll try and move this puppy to autopilot though :p

Just use your mind people!!!

YO this method WORKS
trust me i was gonna make a thread of this but i wasnt sure if i was right.
two nights ago i had an LD and i realized that the way i did it was by thinking of LDs while in the hypnagogic image state it wouild lead to an LD. i RECOMEND IT TO ALL (specially noobs) do it.
