Simple grammar change... big results.
Ok, for those of you who have been using meditation as a method of attaining lucidity, check this out...
And for those of you who aren't, check this out...
When I meditated I used to repeat the mantra "Is this a dream?" or "I will know I'm dreaming" or "I will become lucid."
I've noticed better results with "I am dreaming." Perhaps when my brain is in the process of consolidating my day's events and phonetic occurances, it takes a direct translation. So I say "I am dreaming," and when I am in the dream my brain affirms "I am dreaming," rather than "Is this a dream?" (which leaves the statement vulnerable to refutation) or "I will become lucid" (which professes intent for future events rather than current ones).
Thoughts?
Yeah, this may have been gone over in the past, but... whatever...
