Thread: How do YOU wake your minde up during LD

There are many ways that can increase your awareness, the main way to increase awarness in a lucid dream is to explore your dream senses, sight, smell, sound, touch, when you concentrate on theses senses your awareness, vividness, lucid dream length, and control are much greater.
You can also try and calm down and relax in a lucid dream and try to focus the mind to allow your lucid dream to be more real.
Hope this helped you.

Need anyone say more?

I usually just DEILD, or WILD. DILD is just a lucky bonus in my opinion.

I like to touch everything around me, look at my hands, and remind myself constantly that everything is a dream. I try to stay really physically engaged with my surroundings, and not get too lost in distracting thoughts.

Maybe I should do that, I never really try to "wake my mind up" in dreams. Not anymore at least.

ya the dream environnement seem to be a good thing to focus on. But since the frontal lob isn't functionnal at 100% when we dream it is hard to focus or even remember to focus that's why i would like to know if anyone of you have a technique or a tips that work best for him/her to increased the awareness and mostly to remember to do all RC thing

I do reality checks every so often and I do things that I wouldn't do in reality, Like stripping off my clothes and flying around, telling DC's to quit bothering me and stuff.

Doing things that no one would do in reality are good ways to keep your mind remembering that it's an LD and your in control.

Normally, you'd find your personal best sense that makes scenery vivider. Visual (spinning around) never worked for me, especially when my dream was fading. Turns out that rubbing my hands keeps everything nice and sharp. It's also best to not worry about waking up, or else you will.

I agree with you that would help me a lot and practice me to recognized dream sign mostly inner dream sign.
