      SILD, satipatthana induced lucid dream

      i'm practicing a sutta called the four foundations of mindfulness (satipatthana). the idea is that you are constantly aware of your body (walking, standing, sitting, breathing, etc.), feelings (painful, pleasant, etc.) mind (condition of, distracted, exalted, etc.), and mind objects (anger, doubt, agitation and worry, etc.). there are many ways to practice and what i'm doing is practicing one mediation subject at all times, mindfulness of breathing, and noting and then releasing any of the other subjects that arise.*

      so i'm breathing and then i feel a pain in my leg, i think "painful bodily sensation." and move on with my day and back to my breath. or i'm breathing and i feel worried, i think "mind affected by worry and agitation." and move on. etc.

      anyway, i've been a dreamer for a long time. i've had great success with MILD, DILD, a few WILDS and others but i've fallen out of practice due to frustration with inconsistency. for example four in a month then none for three months, etc.

      now that i'm giving a ton of effort to practicing satipatthana i believe that this all day and extremely intricate mindfulness could lead to, in combination with dream journaling, a huge amount of lucid dreams.

      i've not journaled for some time, i'm deep into the mindfulness practice, i'm even memorizing the sutta, and i'm going to start journaling tonight.

      in theory, as my recall comes back i should start having mass amounts of lucid dreams. follow me, i will post my results daily as much as possible. i think that this could be the strongest method i've used yet.

      any questions, i'm all ears. i've been training in this kind of stuff for over twelve years. oops it's late and i'm accidentally rhyming, great. good night.

      *for a complete list, see the sutta itself for free on accesstoinsight.org
      just search "satipatthana sutta" or for the longer version "maha satipatthana sutta". for one with commentary search "way of mindfulness". or just google it, many sites have it. access is just the one i know and like. once you have read or at least skimmed the sutta you will see how amazingly intricate it is and why i believe it will create such a huge amount of mindfulness, far beyond simpler methods more commonly practiced such as general mindfulness, only mindfulness of breathing, or only mindfulness of walking, etc. i'm practicing for general mental freedom and peace of mind. however it suddenly popped into my head that it could very well apply to dreaming. i remembered this site from years ago, and, here we are.
