Simple question... What method gives YOU lucid dreams easiest and fastest? With a high rate of success. What is your favorite method?
Well you know it is different for everyone, while a WILD might be perfect for some one else, it might not work at all for others. There isn't an end all solution. I am really just trying different stuff myself since I am having a hard time lucid dreaming. For most people it seems, DILDs seem to work really well. Considering you have to keep up your dream journal and do reality checks regularly. I am going to try DILD since WILD doesn't work well for me and the other ones I won't try until I get more experience.
For starters I would say that DILD/MILD is the best, although some people seem to be able to do WILD very easily, but that is a minority.
If anything do check out the DILD/MILD techniques.
Honestly, it depends on you're skill level, passion and devotion and mental state.
You always want to have positive energy and strong will power in order to dream lucidly.
If you are a beginner the most successful and logical path of lucidity for now would be the DILD(Dream Induced Lucid Dream) , (Mnenomic Induced Lucid Dream) and sometimes ADA (All Day Awareness)
Intermediate and Advanced lucid dreamers use the WILD( Wake Induced Lucid Dream). Some beginners can do this technique based on their mental state.
You want to remember that when you do these techniques to do reality checks, before and after. Getting into a habit of doing it will increase your lucidity success rates.
There is no "best technique" because everything is different. I think general awareness is the best technique though. It's beneficial in all areas of life.
My others are DEILD and MILD :)
Just try some techniques and see what is best for you
There is no general "best technique", but most people find more success with MILD or DILD because they're the easiest type of lucid dream to induce. I use DILD with awareness (not ADA but spontaneous awareness). I rarely do RCs anymore.
Best method? Though I think the answers already posted here are enough, let me take a second and consolidate them into one single suggestion:
If you have gotten a feel for your own self-awareness, and you know that you will attach your waking-life awareness to your next dream, the method that gets you there does not matter. The techniques (methods) talked about here -- WILD, MILD, DILD, DEILD, WhateverILD, are just that: techniques. What gets you to lucidity comes from you, and not from a technique, no matter how popular that method might be. Trust yourself, and your interest in becoming lucid. If that trust is sound, the technique will not matter...
Oh, and no method offers a high rate of success; each is couched in convenience ( ie, DILD & MILD works best at night, WILD is handy during WBTB or napping), and all depend on your conscious input. In other words, one person's favorite method might not be yours.
So work on your self-awareness, your memory, and your intent, and try not to look for shortcuts; they just aren't there.
it seems no one answered the question. He asked what is our best technique, not what technique is best....
I would give you my best technique, but I haven't LD'd yet soooo yeahhh.
...And I think everyone did a pretty good job answering that question by not answering it. That's because, as you accumulate LD'ing experience, you tend to discover that the different techniques are each "best," depending what you are looking for at any given time. For instance, for me DILD works well at night while WILD works well during morning WBTB sessions, and DEILD (also WILD, to me) only works in one situation. But they all work fine (as does MILD, which I don't use myself because my memory sucks). I think that's what we were trying to say. It's not about the techniques; it's about how you personally wield them.Quote:
