      Sounds good to me, but why add anything beyond WILD and DILD as techniques? VILD falls on WILD and MILD/WBTB are just to increase chances of WILD/DILD depending on how you use them, they are not really induction methods on their own. Plus, it will look more organized to have the main methods and then the sub-ones. Thats just my opiniont though <.<
      Also been a while since I last saw you, so it was school. You were a DG before right?
      And dream control, the idea of archetypes is getting more people lately, so you might want to add that along with belief.

      This must suck, before barbizzle could post any results DV got hacked. Oh well, hopefully we will hear of the results later on.

      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      I'm not writing any papers, but I am holding a presentation about this lol. It's for English, we have to hold a presentation of at least 10 minutes about a subject of choice (in English ofcourse ). Might be able to make use of this setup.

      Wow, hi everyone. Well, my junior high school research paper went very well if anyone wants to know, haha. I loved writing it and if I remember correctly I got the highest score in the school for it. I wish I still had the paper, but that was 7 years ago and it has been lost a long time. My paper ended up even being more in-depth then this original outline I think as that was my first draft. I cannot believe it took 7 years for people to reply to my post! Talk about waiting

      Was going to close this thread but seeing as the OP is still here.. hi!
      I'm actually doing a similar research paper on the social influences of dreaming and lucid dreaming as a major part of my course for my senior year of high school. Is there any advice you could share, Barbizzle?

      Any questions about lucid dreaming? Drop me a PM here!

      Hi fOroeez! Your paper sounds interesting. When I wrote my paper I think it was successful because I really tried to answer WHY anyone would want to lucid dream. It takes alot of work and may be hard to even believe in. By discussing self growth, spirituality, entertainment and even it's value as skill to meet new people with, readers seemed to be more receptive to the topic. Other then that, write with passion and other will feel it. Good Luck!

      Thanks for that, Barbizzle I'm focusing most of my questions for things that I can put into an interview, i.e. "How have dreams/lucid dreams affected your daily life?"

      Any questions about lucid dreaming? Drop me a PM here!

      Holy shit this might be a contender for biggest necropost I've ever seen. But it's also probably the most interesting especially since the OP is still here! Wow...

      Hah well people have taken interest again, why should we care if its a necropost! Although 7 years is a pretty long time lol
      I very recently did the same thing and wrote a research paper on LD for my college English class.
      It was interesting that during the two months i was writing the paper, i had more lucid dreams than i have ever had in my life, and also had the most meaningful and beautiful dreams i have had in my life.
      It started as a research paper to attempt to answer the question of why we dream, and ended with my personal beliefs on the meaning of life, and how my dreams have brought me to these beliefs.
      I love sharing my essay with others, but ironically have not yet had the opportunity to do so with other lucid dreamers! So if anyone would like to read mine please message me!

      It's interesting to see how eager LD'ers are to do essays/presentations about just this subject.

      holy crap!

      I would love to see some of these papers you guys have written.

      I'm not sure how I feel about 24 pages of it, though.
