      The Alone Mantra Technique

      The Alone Mantra Technique



      This is a MILD technique which I thought of during a MILD. It works kinda like in the picture. I have onlly tried this technique for 1 day and i have yet to get any results, but I'll try for more days and with more effort and I'll hope it'll give me the results i want

      Mantras:
      This technique requires you to use 2 mantras. So pick 2. make one the one that you really want and the other as one you want but is more of a second priority. We will call these first priority and second priority mantras.

      Example:
      If you want dream recall first before you begin lucid dreaming, your mantras might be ''remember my dreams'' and ''I lucid dream tonight''
      tip: never ever use the word ''will'' in your mantras. It implies 'future' and you wont get as good results.

      The technique:

      1) Pick 2 mantras that you will be using for the night (If you say mantras throughout the day, say your second priority mantra ONLY. Or pick another mantra you will not be using throughout the night.)
      2) Go to bed
      3) Say your second priority mantra only, you will say the other one later
      tip: Don't focus on the mantra, just say it without really putting all of your attention on it.
      4) now that you have said your second priority mantra quite a lot of times, say your first priority mantra, only once, with all of your attention focused on saying that mantra, then go back to your first mantra until you fall asleep. Its as simple as that.

      Why i Think it Works
      Now, i am not some brain specialist or Psychologist, but i think this technique works because While you are saying your first mantra, The other one is in your mind, then when you said your second mantra and go back to your first, its still on your mind, more than the one you are currently saying. So when you sleep, both of the mantras are on your mind.

      This technique works like the picture, there are more grey marbles, but you notice the blue marble more. Kinda like the mantras. You say one more, but you notice the alone one.

      Happy Dreaming, and post results/ comments/ questions here

      Interesting, it worked. I've had a dream recall dry spell the past few weeks so that was my primary mantra (second being to have a lucid dream). I recalled three dreams last night. I'll reverse the mantras tonight. While I've been having classic OBEs since January, I've yet to become lucid within my dreams. Thanks for sharing the technique!

      Why would this work better then just focusing on the one mantra? Surely that would be less complicated and easier to absorb than saying one and focusing on another at the same time? The one you are saying would either erase the other one you are thinking, and when you switch you will undermine saying the other one.

      Why not just have a mantra saying you are able to lucid dream every night and be done with it?

      Because its like a 2 in 1 package. Its easy and simple to do and you get both results. Mantras dont give me fast results like this one because my first priority mantra was 'i remember my dreams' and ta da, i remembered 4 dreams.

      I would have to think that that was only placebo, much like myCelia's attempt.

      I would think that tonight you and her will not have the same results as last night, or at the very best you will have the same results, but slowly dwindling as the nights go by. That's how most of my endeavors ended, doing well first off, and then going slowly down until I gave up afterwards.

      I wish you luck though, but I don't have hope.

      I think if this works is due the relation. Since the plan is repeating two mantras, at different rates, the package will be:

      - You go to a store wanting to buy oranges, but also apples
      - You search and walk and find and buy the oranges
      - You remember you want to buy apples as well

      Would you reckon it could work like this example?

      I can understand that, but why not just associate the mantra with something in your dreams, like a dreamsign? If you are wanting a mantra to be remembered in a dream, why associate it with another one?

      No one can even explain why mantras work in the first place or even lucidity for that matter, so why do you argue about what mantra technique that works the best ?

      Ok not argue, but you get what I mean

      Great that people still trying to come up with "new" techniques though.

      Just try it and if it works .. great for you

      Now I am going to bed and are going to kill my ears with static noise. Good night!

      Very interesting idea. So you basically go on with the one mantra, just glossing over it, then shock your mind into attention with one forceful statement right in the middle; hoping that one will stand out more, and be more effective than normal, in contrast. I'll definitely have to give this a try.

      Not negative, doubtful. I am doubtful in things I'm not sure will work, and I don't do things I'm not sure will work.

      well, wouldnt you rather get a possible 1 lucid dream with this method if its a placebo instead of not trying because it could be a placebo?

      Placebo would get me a quick fix at best, one lucid. I have even more doubt that placebo's will lead to more lucids. Only the right way will lead to a lucid. That's not saying this won't be a good way.

      How about this.

      Try it, if it works great.
      If it doesn't, fine, move on.

      I do not wish to experience hope and then have it dashed cruelly 3 days later. Not again. So many things I have tried, and tried in earnest. New methods, tests, old methods, most have lead to nothing, only a few I still do. And yet I barely feel any closer than the day I started 6 months ago. I don't want to try something else out before it is tested further and people get real experiences from them.

      It wouldn't matter if you tried it anyway, your full of doubt.

      You kind of piss me off solarflare.
      With your "tip" about not saying will.
      Normally my mantras are: "I will deild/recall/dild/ tonight" Or "I will have a lucid dream"
      "I DEILD tonight" is not literate, and it irritates me when I have to say my mantras without will now.
      I don't agree that will refers to future, because I specified "tonight" in my mantra.
      Even though I don't believe will is negative, it's now in my mind, and wrecks my mantra.

      DUDE, "I am" reffers to current tense.
      I can't believe you wrote a tip about not using "will" because it's future tense, and now you're trying to give me a mantra with another "incorrect tense"

      Which brings me back to my previous statement, it's illiterate, and it bothers me.
