Thread: Does thinking about LD's bring them about?

well it can become a fine line. Because if one thinks to much about having or wanting a lucid dream while they are trying to sleep, can keep them awake and not have a full deep sleep. This is because thier thoughts are so much concentrated on Lucid dreams that sleep and and a dream itself may never occur that night. Though, believing and having that confidence that you know you will have a lucid dream helps a lot. Thinking about lucid dreams does help. I just thought I would mention when the thinking becomes to intense and at the wrong moment. Thinking about lucid dreams in a way to which what you want to do in that lucid dream helps as well.

I was a natural lucid dreamer over 4 years ago, but then started to do it a lot when I actually read about it. After a year, my LDing suddenly vanished. I winded up only having one LD every one or two months. I was thinking about it at least a few times a week, for almost three years. Soon after I completely truly gave up on it, it just suddenly came back this summer. I'm having at least 3 LDs a week without even trying, at least the LDs I can remember. So, from my current experiences, thinking about it gets me nowhere. I don't really take advantage of them, I just wander around. I just let it flow.

I had 3 LDs in my whole life, then I joined these forums and had 7 in a month, no WILDs, no tricks, just subconscious inspiring DILD awareness.

Yes thinking about them helps but like Erin said having confidence is very important, one of the most important things. Thinking about lucid dreaming all day should have you thinking about lding in your dreams and that should help you become lucid.

Lucid dreaming is always on my mind when I go back to bed. I'm sure when school starts back, however, that it'll be all about having to wake up early

It is a good thing to read DJ or surf these forums before you go sleep helps a lot.

I notice it everytime when I am off from my computer and I come back and come to DV again

I try to think of it when ever i try wbtb of any kind such as right now, browsing these forums help to do just that.
