Thread: Lucid method

Sorry, but this is in no way a new concept It was one of the first I ever heard of other than DJing. And I've been unsuccessful with this after several days for some reason. I drew a small target on my palm (since I hate explaining why I wrote a certain word or letter on it) and I did probably an average of 50 RCs a day. Any time I either thought about dreaming or looked at my hand, I tried to stick my finger through my palm, and if that was unsuccessful I tried to read something close by then look away and read it again. I don't know why it hasn't been working, but I think it has to do with a dependence on noticing the target first, as that is what triggers 80% of my RCs.

i look for dream signs to i just thought this would add to it

I know, I'm just saying I've had no luck. But if others have, it must be at least semi-useful. Or very useful, in which case I must just be weird

your problem lies in the "a few days" bit -I can count the amount of times I actually saw this paper in dreams on one hand- it's main purpose is just to keep you aware when, say, watching tv.
