For me it has to be MILD.
I use DILD and generally have lucids daily, though my dreams are weird for not being weird so that must be why <.<
None of the LDs I've ever had were intentional. I'd never even realize I was dreaming, they just sort of happened.
Every night I go to sleep I want to have a lucid dream. In fact, every time I roll over in the middle of the night I want to lucid dream. If I dream 6 times a night, for 365 days a year, for five years, that's 10950 opportunities to LD (this isn't including naps), but I've only become lucid 102 times. That's a .932% success rate.
If you look at my #lucids:days attempting lucidity ratio, I'm at about 17% success. That's not really accurate because I chained a bunch.
So, less than 50% of my attempts are successful.
Also this shouldn't be in dream control.
Thank you all for your answers 'till now.
I have a note from Shift that this poll should not be in this area. I am pretty new on this forum so, maybe some moderators move the thread where it belongs.
@Shift, maybe counting one LD a night as 1/6 success rate is a bit too harsh. Why not call it a 100% success for that night? :uhm:
@Walms, you must be happy as hell for this accomplishment. :bowdown:
RC often, and you will get DILDS, albeit not as often as you would like...
i've only achieved lucid dreams through WBTB and DILD.
I voted less that 50%
I would love to have more control! Maybe the REM-Dreamer I've just ordered will be able to help me with that...
The lucid dreams I have had have been WILD's and then a couple of DILD's. I haven't tried the WBTB method yet as I'm just to lazy lol :D
I voted less than 50%, too. And WILDing works the best for me.
I'm sticking with DILD, which i think works fairly well. lets say in 2 months I've only had about 10 LDs which is about once every six days, which is around 16-17%. as for techniques, I just pay more attention to everything in my waking life. I can't honestly say i've stuck with anything else for these past two months.
Well, it may be harsh but it's also realistic. It's also all relative. That number may seem low, but if you compare it to others', it may be relatively high. It really is realistic though, considering I LD mainly by DILDs, and those are all the opportunities I have for becoming lucid, and all the times I attempt it.
I've wanted to lucid dream by will about five times so far- and 3 of them worked, so I voted for "over 50%"
All my other lucids are either spontaneous DILDs, or the ocassional WILD. ;D
Oh wait... in my formula I used only since I has been sucefull with lucids (last 5 years)... so if I do the same as Shift and use since I started, my success rate is actually 37.5% <.<
Too bad I can't change my vote... and silly me.
I don't think is relevant to compute these percents from the very beginning. My intention was to see what level of mastery can be achieved. So if you counted for the last half year or year is fine.Quote:

Ok then: Since joining DV I had lucid dreams on 62 days during the past 365 + 42 days, meaning 62/407 = I have a 15.2334 % chance of becoming lucid on any given day.
That's not too shabby.
very nice! If i calculated that, mine wouldn't look too good heheh,,,Quote:

I calculated the same way as Shift did, and I got 16.2162162162162 % chance of becoming lucid. That's pretty bad... I thought I'm better :embarrassed:
