Thread: Too many techniques?

Yes there is too many. I just stick to what I taught myself before reading any technique at all.

It's very simple really, stay aware and question your reality so often that you do it in your dreams. That's basically all you need to know.


Unless your WILDING of course. But the idea behind that is still pretty basic.

I voted yes. But there aren't too many techniques. There are too many people who do not understand the basic, fundamental techniques or even the two kinds of lucid dreams (WILD vs DILD). Because of this, they run around claiming to have discovered new techniques, naming them, eager to slap *ILD (except for the people who are even better, and decide not to use ILD, just becuase it makes them that much cooler) onto just about anything and everything. We're going to have to start making up new letters to accommodate these people, when the fact of the matter is that all they are doing is tweaking silly little things about techniques and claiming to be the next mad lucid dreaming scientist. Even though they have no empirical evidence. Even though they are just plagiarizing other peoples' work and ideas.

It's like breeding dogs, and putting collars on dogs. These people adopt a pure bred herding dog, say a border collie, from someone who spent time breeding the lineage for the strongest traits like intelligence, swiftness, the best physical characteristics, obedience, the ability to work well with stock. Then someone comes along, slaps on a spiked collar, and claims that their dog is a rottweiler. No. The breed of dog hasn't changed. Just the way you attach your leash to it. And you aren't the one who bred it. You're just the adopter. But these people love to run around claiming to be the president of the AKC, and all the attention it gets them. When all they did was rip off someone else's hard work. Or even common knowledge. They could pick up a mutt off the street, attach a collar, and claim that it's a pedigree whatever. A strange analogy, I know. I randomly came up with it, but it does the job.
