Thread: PILD - Pendelum induced lucid dream? A possible simple induction technique.

Ok so I tried this last night but the pendulum wasn't movin much and I did it like twenty mins before I fell asleep and I wrote in m dream journal but can't read it at all haha but I remember a time I woke up and picked up my dj which I normally don't do so I thinkbit was a class awakening.will try again tonight.

Rolled up 2 days from now... so hard to wait hahahaa

Interesting, i fancy if this will make my DILDs longer, they tend to be too damn short to do anything.

Isn't this kind of like what an MILD is getting at? Convincing your mind that you will have a Lucid Dream at a specific time?

I'm very interested in these results though, I mean, 4-5 dreams in one night? That's pretty amazing if you ask me, a person who remembers 2-3 on those rare, once a month occasions.

EDIT:Wow, sorry, I didn't realize this was a slightly inactive topic .

You'd have to believe that the pendulum really does predict when you will have a lucid dream, however, in order for it to work. Sort of in the same way that people may know that Ouija Boards don't really work, but through either superstition or the desire to believe, they believe that it does work and have power. An interesting concept, and I think a plausible way to convince yourself to be more aware during dreams. If the pendulum tells you "Friday," you will expect to have a lucid dream on Friday, and thus your chances of becoming lucid increase. Very interesting.

After reading this, I believe I may construct a similar device to yours; a paper wheel with a spinning arrow on it, with seven divided areas on the wheel, each labeled with a different day of the week. If I convince myself that the spinning wheel is undoubtedly true (in my subconscious, at least), I will trust in it's predictions and thus perhaps have a lucid dream on the night it tells. Thanks for the idea, I'd never considering using a sort of false prediction method to convince myself to have a lucid dream. Perhaps it will work. I'll post here if it does for me as well.

You're defeating the purpouse.

Wow! I kinda forgot about this thread, but man you guys have made success!
Really glad this helped.
Actually, placebo is only 50% of this. This is actually self hypnosis, which means you talk to your sub consious.
Thats what kinda seperats it from the MILD.
I think somebody asked about what pendelum to use;
This can be anything. Ive actually used a pen once, but its barely so you can see it. Now i mostly use a necklace. Take the thing with the best swing.
Please keep me posted if you succed any more!

OMG.
i just tried this. at the end, i waited, and through about lucid dreaming, and i started to believe this would work, then... the next thing my eyes percieved was the pendelum i used moving back and forth!. i was like "OMG! " in my head. i hope this is really going to work.

My subconscious told me that I would lucid dream tonight. I didn't, or at least I didn't remember it. My recall is wicked crazy. I also explored the usage of the pendulum for other questions. I asked myself several things: How long will tonight's LD be 5 10 15 >20 minutes? I answered 15. I then asked it which game I should play: pokemon, team fortress 2, prototype, or WoW. It answered Team Fortress 2. Finally I asked Yes/No should I drink caffeine? I answered "No." Caffeine is my drug of choice though!

Awesome
Lets see if someone more posts! This is a good technique.

I haven't tried this in months
still have my pendulum I made xD
I'm gonna do it tonight

Awesome! Please tell me the results!

I think I messed this up for me. As a control I tried fixating my eyes on a single point without watching the pendulum as it moved. I was unable to get consistent results with any of the proposed questions. Most of the time it just didn't move.

However, I also tried making it go in any direction I wanted by closing my eyes and visualizing it moving in that direction. I was unable to physically feel anything about the direction it was moving, but once I opened my eyes it was always moving in the same way that I had visualized, so I know that the muscle memory works.

I think this is more of a visual cue. Whatever you see happeneing, conscious or not, will happen. So you need to take special care to consciously visualize nothingness.

Yeah, but i usually just concentrate on the question. This is hard for some.

I forgot last night, but I am about to go to bed now and I have my pendulum I made back when I first posted in the thread
hopefully it works

edit. I am wondering, could OP or anyone else post what their paper and pendulum look like? mostly the paper though...(don't know official term for it)

Sure, itll be up within a hour or two.
Edit: Im sorry, since my camera is out of order, i cant do that. Maybe some other thay

Great new technique! But I dont have any pendulum

As ive said before, a normal necklace will do just fine.

Cool, I just tested this. And it says that I'm gonna have a LD tomorrow Hope it'll work!!

This has got to be the strangest induction technique I've ever read but its sounds pretty funny and interesting.

KimGirl; im 99% on it
ThePieMan; Haha, but it sure works

*cough* can you post a picture -waits with popcorn-

Cool concept, though I don't think i'll try it

Erible: I know, ill probably post a Youtube video, or atleast update the main post.
NonComfortist: YOu should! This has worked out awesome so far, combined with DILD

ok cool

thanks
