Current goals: (long list!) [x] = completed [ ] = under testing / not completed
[ ] Have a Long and Vivid Lucid Dream, [ ] Transform into a dolphin / mermaid, [ ] Swim in the ocean / explore it, [ ] Try out magic, [x] Fly with my own wings, [ ] Travel to another planet, [ ] Explore space (planets, star clusters, galaxies, black holes), [ ] Meet my DG, [ ] Visit an expensive hotel, [ ] Visit older dreamscapes, [ ] Explore random dreamworlds (just enjoy and explore the dreamscape)
Just like what King Yoshi told me, Some techniques don't work out for some people(like me, I'm mostly good at WILD and not ADA, although I still practice ADA). Maybe this isn't the type of technique for you, but I encourage you to keep practicing it, maybe after a week or two, you'll get the hang of it. Hope this helps |

I'm not KingYoshi, but i would definitely recommend this technique. I have personally had a whole load of succes with it. If you have any questions, you can still post them here, but it won't be KY who answers them, it will be someone else who uses this (me for example :p). Good luck |

This sounds great. I'm hopping aboard this train. |

This is one of the threads that made me decide to create an account for this forum and really get this all going. Thanks KingYoshi! (although you probably wont read this). |

Before you start to drift and your soul begins to scream
I just wanted to tell you that you're listening to a dream
-Shinedown
Start off by combining 2 senses. This might on itself be very difficult. Keep doing until until you feel you're good enough to go to the next step: 3 senses. Again, practice until you're confident enough to try 4. Etc. Eventually ( after a lot of time and practice), you'll be able to do 5 senses + being aware of breathing, blinking, etc. Good luck |

The other night I read this article before I went to bed and I had my first Lucid Dream. I don't know if it's coincidence, or what, but it was kinda weired when I thought about what I did the night before and realized it. |
|
This is so hard... ive been trying to use this technique, but I always loose focus. Well, I will keep trying.. |
|
I would consider myself an average lucid dreamer, I mean I've been into it for 2 years now so definitely past that rookie stage, but not as far as to consider myself an expert. I'm frustrated right now because it seems that whatever was working for me before is not really working anymore, and I stumbled upon this. I will definitely be trying this and see how it works out ! |

Spoiler for Goals:
Question: |
|
When doing a RC, dont just focus on the environment, but focus and what you are doing, why, and especially what you have been doing in the past half an hour or so. That's the biggest tell for vivid dreams |

Finally! A Controllable, stable, DILD method! |
|
When I first read this post I practiced ADA as much as I could during the day. I needed to set alarms to remind myself to stay aware and do reality checks (I'll just refer to ADA from now on as reality checks because I think of awareness as a RC). Without a reminder I might go 2 or 3 hours without a check, and that's basically all the dream-time for an entire night! |

love it dude, totally understand, looking for the subtle gaps the subconscious mind misses in waking life and using them as doors to gain lucidity. ex you see a dog,does it have a shadow? if you don't notice the shadow in real life it wont be there in a dream, hence when you look for it in the dream it wont be there causing you to obtain lucidity |
|
I'm scared of WILDing, so this seems perfect for me ^^ I'm going to try it, starting NOW. I have this 4-sided die (it looks like a pyramid) that I always carry with me. Dunno why, I just do. So now I take it out randomly during the day and really study it, feeling its edges, feeling its pointy ends, appreciating its colour (it's red). |

Good luck my friend |
|
Good luck indeed! Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work. It could take some time to learn this technique and even if you do it perfectly from the start it could take a few days before this lifestyle carries over in your dreams. You can also get an LD on the first night of trying though So let's hope for it. Good luck! |

Old thread new member! lol |
|
Thanks for the support It hasn't worked yet, but I keep questioning reality whenever I remember to do it, and do the RCs with my die as well as the pinched nose technique. I did noticemy dream recall has improved! I can now easily remember 2 dreams per night, whereas before I'd be lucky to remember ONE. |
|
Even though I am still seeking my first lucid dream, I have to admit that the ADA technique is extremely powerful. |
