Well, then you should try ADA technique, or just try involve your RCs to everyday rutine, mostly when you are outside with some people.

But I must admit, this RWI technique require more focus on lines which you write. Yesterday I was writing simple mantra "I will realize Im dreaming" for like 100 times and then typed it for 250 times ! And nothing.. So It's not that easy and not working everyday.. but if you try combine this with ADA, I think It should help you.

didnt get lucid i cant seem to recognize dreamsigns as something that tells me im dreaming. i'll keep doing my RC through the day and i'll find out what this ADA is.

but my dreams are more vivid, if only i got lucid i remember some stuff i really did not want to miss

I'm definitely going to try this tonight! (I'll report back sometime if anything happens)

Thanks a lot btw! (seeing as no other method has worked for me yet...:/)

The R.W.I (Repetition of Writing Induction) Technique
By LogicInLife

Origin:
Before I describe the technique, I would like to give the readers some background information on how I came up with it.
While reading, “Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming” by Stephen Laberge, I came across an Appendix “Supplementary Exercises” in which Stephen Laberge gives his readers an exercise list for increasing will power. One of the examples he published is this, “Write 100 times, ‘I will write a useless exercise.”
A sudden flash back of my childhood came to mind when I read this section in his book. My ex-step father used to make me ‘write lines’ whenever I had done something bad to learn from my mistake. Nonetheless, once I had written ‘I will not forget my house key’ a thousand times, I never forgot to take it with me whenever I had left for school.
Psychologically speaking, repetition is key for learning and memorization and the power of writing something (opposed to thinking or speaking) X amount of times can be extremely effective.

My theory:
“If I write my mantra down multiple times, line for line (opposed to the cheating method of letters down the page), will I in fact remember it in my dreams?”

My Results:
A.In my first night I wrote, “Every time I sleep, I will remember my dreams and remember that I am dreaming.” 30 times. – That night I had one lucid dream.
B.In my second night I used the same sentence and wrote it down 100 times – resulting in 3 lucid dreams the second night.
C.In my third night I used the same sentence and wrote it down 30 more times in which I experienced 3 lucid dreams that were extremely vivid.

*In my lucid dreams, I just knew that I was dreaming. I didn’t conduct reality checks and I did not have to catch odd occurrences. I believe this is due to the specific mantra I wrote.

What you need:
1.A notebook (I bought one especially for this experiment)
2.Several pens (I feel like pens are more of a statement for writing, permanent and bold)
3.A personal mantra
Examples:
a.Every time I sleep I will remember my dreams and remember that I am dreaming.
b.Tonight I will remember my dreams and realize I am dreaming.
c.Tonight I will see my hands in my dreams and realize I am dreaming.

How to:
1.Open up your notebook and make sure all distractions are put away. *Make sure you WRITE; this will NOT work with typing.
2.Pick your mantra and set a goal for how many lines you will write. (It gets hard when your hand cramps up and boredom sets over)
3.While writing make sure the sentence is being focused on. (I usually read the sentence while writing)
4.Make it to your Goal and shut your notebook. The next time you write, start your sentence count back at 1.

Thoughts, Notes and Expansions:

-I do not and did not use reality checks, nor do I confirm my mantras before sleeping. BUT that does not mean it will work for everyone without reality checks.
-This method may not work for everyone.
-I believe this method would also work for dream incubation or intentions to do specific things whilst in a dream. Ex. I will practice soccer juggling in my dreams tonight.

Thank you,

Thanks. I'll have to try this next week.

I dont know if someone pointed this out yet, did not look through every page, but saying a mantra in present tense is better then future, because your subconscious will take it easier. Saying it in future tense confuses your subconscious, works, but I think you should try it with present tense.

This looks like a very interesting variation on the MILD technique. I'm playing with a few techniques at the moment, but I'll be sure to try this in the not-too-distant future!

This induction technique interest me a lot!
Tried this method yesterday with no success.
I wrote down my own mantras in indonesian language like this : 'ketika aku mimpi, aku selalu ingat dan sadar bahwa itu mimpi" also I made an improvisation by writing down another mantra : 'setiap aku mimpi, mimpinya selalu jelas, nyata, lama dan bisa dikendalikan"

In English should be like this :
1. "When I'm dreaming, I always remember and aware of my dreams"
2. "Everytime I'm dreaming, my dreams always clear, real, long and controllable"
(please correct those sentences if you found any mistake)

30 lines for 1st mantra and around 10 lines for the second one. The result wasn't really good. I had longer dream last night and also I can felt the sensations better (fear, tired and etc). But, it still not vivid and I wasn't aware in the dream.
Gonna try another mantra today !

Yeahhh....my second try was a success. !!
But, Instead writing down the mantras on the paper, I imagine writing down the mantras on my imagination board.
Just like LogicinLife said "... make sure the sentence is being focused on" I was really really focused on the mantras.

I changed my previous mantras to "I will awake when I'm dreaming"
That night, after I woke up from dreaming, I immediately did WILD and LUCID !

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Shit I just wrote "I wake up after every dream, stay still, and remember the dream." 30 times. My hand writing was so sloppy towards the end but eligible if you try haha. And my hand is exhausted.

Did this last night after turning computer monitor off (was about 2 am or bit before)
Wrote 50 lines (2 whole pages in my book) of "I remember i'm dreaming, I remember my dreams."
Fell asleep relatively fast for me (30 or 40 minutes)
Remembered a dream in so much vivid detail, I wrote almost another 50 lines on the one dream!

So far some good results, one of the best nights sleep i've had in a while and the best i've recalled a dream in a long while.
Hopefully this can get my sleep pattern back on track and get me some lucids

Did my 50 lines again, recalled 2 or 3 dreams (not sure when they started/ended exactly). Went back to sleep and recalled another in very good detail. It's working for my recall at least!

My friend said it took a month of 100 times a day writing down his mantra to get results. So for some people a little dedication is required.

This can also help with prospective memory exercises. Write the word over and over again and you're more likely to notice it during the day.

Not seen you for a while, mcwillis. Got anything new to tell us about?

This looks like a great idea! Can fit into my MILD routine easily because it is mnemonic device that improves prospective memory! I shall write it 50 times (I am mindful in my dreams ) and repeat it inymy nightly routine. I think it works for a lot of people because it engages your sense of touch (writing) and vision (reading) to help you remember it. Looks like a very powerful tool but I don't like the idea of relying on it alone, I will use visualisation and repeat my mantra as well and of course keep up my awareness work

This is an amazing idea!

Hello Bobblehat. I have got something new. I stopped having night-time DILD's as my life became too busy and why I have been away from here for a while. I tried something new and very simple - 5 DILD's in a month. I stopped on purpose for 2 months - no lucid dreams. I started again last night and had a lucid dream. Will write something up at the weekend, if I'm not too busy.

I'm gonna try this! I can't wait to see what happens!

just wanted to confirm, this method worked great for me last night. I wrote my mantra down into my dream journal for 4 Pages (about 35-40 times). It was 6-7 pm at the time, and I went to bed 10:30 pm.

I had a regular dream with good recall, one super vivid regular dream with good recall and a very short lucid ending, and a nice flying lucid dream at the end. Thanks a lot, I will definitely do this again. Little time invested and still great effect, I like that.
The dreams are in my DJ here on DV.

Oldddd thread but whatever... gonna try this out tonight. Will report back if successful

Friend, I am a aspiring psychologist and I did this before I went to sleep before I stumble across your experiment! Funny thing is I barely had repetition thus harborig no results. Silly me for only righting the mantra 5 times lol thank you for your post now I will try this but this time with way more the repetitions

Thanks man! Tried this for the first time last night and had my first lucid dream after trying for 3 months Used a combination of wbtb/this and wrote 50 times this is a dream, recall my dreams.

Hey! I know this post is kinda old, but...I'm gonna try it tonight. I'll tell the results tommorow.

And btw, it sounds like a good technique.

I've actually been doing this for the past 3 days without knowing about this thread and it has improved my recall significantly! I will also post some results; I think this thread should be kept up since it's a really valuable technique imo.

Didn't work last night, but I'm definitely continuing with this method.
