You could get a lucid dream from just reading about them during the day, but it'd be good if you were a natural.
Sometimes practicing RCs has a sort of 'delay', so you can do them for a couple of days with no result and get a lucid dream when you stop trying them, it's probably best to keep practicing them everyday anyway.

Sometimes. Why is there no sometimes button?
Are you consciously thinking about not RCing? Or just blowing it off completely?

**LucidDreamGod** · 10-29-2008 02:11 PM

A fairly large portion of my lucid dream count comes from no techniques actually, I didn't need much of anything when I was much younger.

i just blow it off i might do 1 or 2 rc's in a day if even that

in fact i had a lucid dream last night =D

EDIT:i meant i had 2!

**Shift** · 10-29-2008 04:49 PM

Whoa, nice!

Yea, I was going to say, if you realize you should RC, and consciously tell yourself "no I will not RC", then you are probably going to raise the awareness and question reality just as you would doing a state test anyway

i found that if i do RC's all day i almost never lucid dream so i stopped trying. Then i had a lucid dream that night. So i thought okay ill try again...same thing happened so i guess im gifted i don't have to do anything!

**mustbe18** · 10-29-2008 04:56 PM

I dont really rc through out the day but when I get to sleep I just realise I''m dreaming, not all the time but enerytime I get lucid It's because I just notice I'm dreaming.

Haha, then why did you bother RCing in the first place?

**ninja9578** · 10-29-2008 05:21 PM

Once you have enough of them you just start being able to tell the difference between real life and dreams.

But you are speshal anyway

well when i started i thought RCing was the way to go.

**legit** · 10-29-2008 09:33 PM

you can't consider yourself a natural unless you have been LD'ing for your whole life without trying to do so. you're getting LD's now because your subconscious understands that you want to have one and has been programmed by you lately to become conscious in dreams.

Right, or maybe just the experience of being lucid has cued you in to what to look out for to make you lucid, or maybe just the latent knowledge is enough to suffice. I personally only consider 'natural' lucid dreams to be those had prior to any knowledge whatsoever of lucid dreaming techniques. People who can just DO it, all on their own.

yep! why?

I didn't know about RC's till I found DV. After I joined here, I started to do RC's and they worked well. but lately I don't need to do RCs to know I'm dreaming. Although I keep doing them for fun.

alot of people experience this, including myself. Out of my 7 lucid dreams I've had since I registered, 4 were nights when I did not listen to lucid dreaming mp3's and didn't even have lucid dreaming on my mind! Avoiding thinking of lucid dreaming to get a lucid dream, whether intentionally, or unintentionally is actually so effective that someone here on this forum dubbed it the "AILD"

I wouldn't try "AILD", though. It hasn't been truly tested. I've actually been meaning to post in there saying if they want it to be a true technique, then they need to read the DV Research Guidelines.

I have found that quoting

If you think it will work, send an experiment proposal to someone on the staff, and head over to the research forums(http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=32) for discussion and to recruit participants. Once scientific studies have conducted we can establish if it is really able to induce lucidity reliably.

is quick and easy

Make any adjustments you deem necessary and it is a time saver
