You said befor that you were old - are you over 100?
Thank you kindly sageous,
I feel what you have given me here is something to think about - not sure if I will get it all right away but I do wish to take a whole hearted look at it:)
I read RRC ( and will read it a few more times !) and must say I am hooked so I am starting with it today.
You mentioned above about questioning your participation in reality as the main point to questioning in your view - as I was doing that today I could get a feeling of the connected ness of us all etc and I suppose in away this view is dreamlike in itself... - so bringing about this truth is in itself pondering the dream state and keeping ones mind on the topic at hand - is that how the it works?
You don't see it as an exercise you see it as the way things are naturally right? It maybe too soon for questions :alien: as I will read through the questions and answers etc - and get back to you on that thread.
In your view is the RRC everything, if done as you intend it to be done?:) I mean in terms of the main daily practice.
DDA wasn't being discussed here at this point as far as I know but I have been reading through the different Practices involved with Dild - and had reached that one - as far as I can see from a complete beginners view it's as you say very much involved with strengthening the LD as well as possibly giving one a chance to recognise the Day dreamed topic in the nld and becoming Lucid -
"Just keep on daydreaming as you fall asleep. You can daydream about anything you want, but it is best to daydream about experiencing a lucid dream. Try not to let your mind become too absorbed by the daydream. You want to remind yourself every 10 seconds or so that you are dreaming. You want to be constantly aware that you're dreaming so that you will be aware and lucid in the real dream. Eventually you will drift off to sleep and into a real dream. Your dream will likely have some of the elements of your daydream and you will hopefully become lucid." It is advised to practice like this sometimes throughout the day too.
Thanks again
