TOILD = Toilet Induced Lucid Dream

[AlexCZ]

Hello all, I think all have problem how be lucid in a dream. I think it is luck if you do check reality test in dream even if you see strange (nonrealistic) things. Long time ago I reveal one thing I have allways in my dream! It is toilet. I see them every dream - only when I not meet this place before i go sleep. Last night I see toilet in dream and it works. So i start call it TOILD = Toilet Induced Lucid Dream ... If you want try it! 1) Before go to the bed, drink lots of water. 2) take affrimations like "when i see toilet I recognize it is dream and do reality check test" Repeat it x times. If you dreaming and you want go to toilet, you often do it in your dream. It is knack do it. At the day when you go to toilet use reality check test. I think this is better than normal metods I know. You have better chance to see toilet every dream ... no one item you can see every dream to recognize if it is dream... Hope it help you. Sorry for my bad language. Alex

Well I never recall seeing or even using toilets in my dreams. so it may not work for me. how do you always see toilets?

[AlexCZ]

to JollyRoger: you meet toilet only if you want it! It is same in dreams. Try this. Go sleep for 8 - 10 hours. Drink lots of water (0,5 - 1 litre) and go sleep. 8 hours is long and in night your body want go to toilet - you do it in your dream. I often see toilet when i stand over it. "do" it in dream is same like in real. You feel nice pleasere when you "do" it. ((lots of people will wake up when try find toilet in dream - if you not control it you will have wet bed at morning )) As I sad dont meet toilet 1 hour before you go to the bed or drink some wather before. It work for 90% for me.

Golden Showers Induced Lucid Dreaming. *skepticism* As a biology student; if anything I would say that your body would simply wake you up to urinate sooner disrupting the REM cycle. Varying on how much you drink and your body's need/ability to process this you will either, a) urinate a lot upon waking or, b) wake up mid sleep cycle to urinate. This is why parents typically get kids to go to the bathroom both before a long road trip and before sleep: the conscious brains lack of control of such things.

Haha! That's a good idea, I see where you come from. Last night I was sleeping, woke up was really hungry but continued sleeping. And guess what I did in my dream.. search for food, buy food, eat food ^^ this is the funniest technique I have seen on these forums tho When I was a kid I used to have alot of these toilet dreams but a few times it ended up in me wetting my bed because I was convinced the dream was real.. =x

[AlexCZ]

to Croneus: you wake up when you need go to the toilet is because you learn yourself do it! It is because you not want "do" it into your bad. It is like wake up when REM dream end ... Dont wake up whan you want at night go to the toilet ... sleep ... you will see that one of your dream will have something with toilet... to ChaybaChayba: Yeah .. dreaming when you are at toilet is like real. If you not control it you "do" it to your bed. Lots of people learn yourself wake up when they need meet toilet ... like want food. I use toilet because it is fact - you need it, you will get it even in dream. I want find action / thing where you can do check reality test. But you need first that you see it / do it in your dream. Think how many dreams was about your need find toilets. I hava lots of only when I want meet toilet in real....

Awesome idea! When I was little and still wet the bed, it would be because I needed to pee badly, and I'd always dream that I'd be looking around for a toilet, then when I found it- pull down and pee away When I stopped wetting the bed I used to just dream of finding the toilet and taking a leak, but I wouldn't do it IRL then 4 seconds later after I'd just go back and do it again until it made me wake up. This is a good idea except... I wouldnt want to do it, because I only dream of toilets when I REALLY need to go... So my lucid would most likely be successful... but I'd feel really uncomfortable to the point that I'd wake up very soon =/ Cheers =] Jim

[AlexCZ]

ti Jimmehboi: thank you, i allways want discover something that can be in every dream so you can easy learn if you see it you are lucid... if i get my dream journal i found this as one thing that is in all dreams when my body want go to toilet. Yesterday (this night) I relly want go to the toilet and see it in my dream. it is emotional, realistic and if you want it, drink more wather before you go to the bed. If you wake up early, go sleep again ... I promis one of your dream will be around toilet. and yes, want meet toilet and be lucid is little uncomfortable ... but you are lucid ... for fly, fun, sex it is usefull. I think be lucid for 5 - 10 minutes is enought.

[Lokabrenna]

I dream of needing the loo if i drink too much, but it wakes me up! I think if I was to try this technique i would need some plastic sheets

[AlexCZ]

Lokabrena: at the day when your body want go to the toilet, do reality tests and repeat when you start sleep think that you not wake up when you want use toilet. Childrens sometimes do it into the bed and create "firewall" in head like: when they want meet toilet they wake up. All is in your head. Affrimations will help a lot. I think all have dreams with using toilets. When they wake up they relly need go to the toilet. I see one good in it: It not depend on when you have REM state. If you have deep sleep (non-REM) you not know you want go to the toilet. But when REM state start, you feel that you need meet toilet and start searching it. ... It is like NovaDreamer but you not need mask on your face. Try it. It work on me ... but I not know how it "work" other people. Good goal is only when you drink a lot you feel in dream that you need toilet. If you do this allways, learn recognize it for be lucid is easy because you have allways same thing - toilet / want meet it. I think lots of peoples wake up when want meet toilet because they recognize dream "yea I want piss .. if i do it my bed will be wet .. i wake up now". It this time you need to say "stop, it is dream - I take control over it" ... For other skeptics - better than only do reality tests and ask god that you do it in dream.

[AlexCZ]

Does anyone try this technique??

[Mrs. Jones]

what if it fails.

[Exhalent]

what if it fails. Nothing happens?

[AlexCZ]

to Mrs.Jones: noone technique work on 100%. I hope some people have same experiences with dreams when they want go to the toilet. It happen only when your body want meet toilet. I dont know all metods for induce lucid dream but this is first I can see one thing (toilet / want meet this place) that you can have in every night - if you drink more wather before you go sleep. It might will work with food etc. but when body want go to the toilet - it is realistic, emotional even in dream as in real world. to Exhalent: only hard work bring experiences. Lots of people give up to easy,

[ld411]

ill try this!!

[Naginata]

I have become lucid dozens of times by realizing that I was standing over a dream-toilet. Problem with this technique is: You're standing over a dream-toilet and feel like you're peeing, which is really scary when you realize that you're actually in your bed. Just imagine waking up from a LD in a wet bed. I don't think it woud ever happen, but just the thought makes me wake up and quickly use the bathroom.

[Jimmehboi]

Nothing happens? I think they mean... if you wet yourself

[imj]

This dreamsign will work but....usually from experience toilet dreams do not last long enough due to the fact that you will wake up shortly because of a full bladder so it's not much help to LDing if you want to get things done. IMJ

[WaaayOutThere]

This sounds interesting and worth a try. The toilets in my dreams are often very dirty and so nasty I cannot go near them. That would be an extra clue...

[thedogsmeow]

Bathrooms seem to be my dream sign, as I have frequent dreams where I am in a bathroom for part of the dream - not necessarily using the bathroom, but it will be a "setting" in my dream. I don't usually wake up afterwards, I'll just leave the bathroom and continue with the dream.

[Entity]

I might give this one a try. I don't often dream of toilets, although the last few toilet dreams I had, my bed thankfully remained dry. When I was a kid, I sometimes wet the bed after having toilet dreams though.

[Mrs. Jones]

I think they mean... if you wet yourself yes

[Prince_Kendrick]

I am not gonna lie, when I see toilets in my dream, I try to use them. I wake up and find myself peeing..... So I dont think i want to try that.

[Carrul]

I remember that when I was a child, I had a bit of a bed wetting problem, and one of them was that I would go to the toilet in the dream and wake up in a wet bed.

[Creation X]

because he's got a potty mouth *Agagagagaga* /cheesy joke. this sounds interesting.. I'm working on a new method, and have been working on it for about a month or two. it's a method that always makes you LD. and so far it's worked for the most part.. I now have a dream 6/7 days of the week, without fail. if I can get that 7th day in I'll release my method.
