I tried it :3 Yup,For me it works. Good job! |

This is what I've been doing (when I get time) |

My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.

I believe this played a part, at the very least, in me becoming lucid last night. Thank you to the OP and all of the follow up posts that made it clear that it was working for a good sampling of people! I typed out "I know I am dreaming. I remember my dreams." initially 30 times but after reading some more success posts decided to do 20 more. It is much less tiring for me to type than to handwrite so it was good to see that typing worked for someone on here. I plan to add Dutchraptor's reward/penalty idea as well to write more or less depending on if I get lucid. |

The OP didn't invent the technique, he just re-popularised something that already existed. |

Interesting. I'm already in bed now, but I'll try this tomorrow... sounds like a really good technique. |

I've done this a few times since reading the thread a week or so ago, using the mantra "I am Lucid". Even on the nights where I never became lucid, I had some very interesting dreams, and when I did it during a wake back to bed, I became lucid a personal record 5 times, two of them were wake induced, but I think that it helps for that as well, seeing as it helps keep the idea behind the mantra in your head as your body falls asleep, making you less likely to lose awareness. |
|
Wow, this sounds really good! I'll try this out for a week and I hope the quality of my dreams go up, as well as the chance to go lucid! |

Lucid Goals:
[ ] Fly [ ] Pokemon battle [ ] Meet Batman [ ] Eat my favourite foods [ ] Shape shift [ ] Shock a DC by doing something crazy [ ] Meet my subconscious
Lately I haven't been on here nor trying/practicing LDs BUT I have rekindled my ambition....so tonight I will try this. I wrote down a couple sentences, now I will type them out, then recite them in my mantra before bed. Kudos to the phrase "Remember I'm dreaming, remember my dreams" so here goes...I will report any LDs/vivd dreams. |

I didn't have any luck getting lucid, but I remembered a dream and a fragment after 2 days of being "dry" so...that's something |

Didn't work for me last night, I'll try tonight again |

I'll add this to my arsenal of techniques. More the merrier, I think. |

Spoiler for Lucid Dreaming Tasks/Goals:
I've been a lurker to this forum for a few years now haha, but I decided to post today to show my results, |
|
I tried this yesterday evening, but I had a crappy night sleep and it didn't work. Not giving up on it yet though. |
|
Not sure if the OP is still responding on this thread so I will try to help for now. This seems to work the same way any mantra does. I think the closer to bedtime the better, but if it is easier to do it earlier, then that would be better than not doing it at all. If you find this exercise in the OP is an easier way to regularly do a mantra, then it should help to continue. It almost always helps me with recall if I include something like "I remember my dreams." When I remember to do it, I type and think about what I am typing and sometimes say it out loud. Some people seem to get more effect handwriting it. |
|
I had forgotten about this... I only tried it twice and I wasn't sleeping well back then, so I'll give it a try this week. |

the following Mantra that i use : " I realize im dreaming, and i control my dream" which in my language (portuguese) is: Eu apercebo-me que estou a sonhar, e controlo o meu sonho" |

Hi Vicarious ! I think its good as long as you feel comfortable and confident. As a side note, Laberge recommends in the MILD technique « next time i'm dreaming, i will remember to recognize that i'm dreaming» which is even bigger. If you say the mantra in your mind, it can help to sinchronize with your breathing. |

Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way
The technique VagalTone said is my favourite. It helped me a lot. |
|
hell yeah, so many portugueses here eheh...anyway, i was using the mantra " when i dream i dream lucid" or in portuguese " quando sonho, sonho lucido" but i think that i will go keeping with this, and seeing the results...this last days i havent been much active on this thing of wrinting mantras, just a few. but its coicidence, since i start to do this, like one week ago, i started to had some LD...in a WILD way i think. |

I'm going to get my notebook from school and try this out. |
