I tried everything, DILD, WILD, SSILD. SSILD was the one that gave me the most promising results, but it often gave me a terrible insomnia. So this is my current technique for achieving lucidity, it's incredibly simple and gives AMAZING results. I developed this by an accident: |

Well, anything that has to do with science! |
|
software development also works well. And reading of inspiring books. |

It could be an interesting avenue but i see many people becoming conscious of the ill effects of interrupting sleep patterns. |

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
What are the effects you have noticed that people are reporting after long periods of sleep interruption patterns related to their induction methods? I'm particularly curious because I, a few years ago, had quite a few LD per week but stopped my activity because i was worried that, in the future, this could cause problems to myself as my sleep patterns were interrupted a lot by me writing my dreams down and trying to induce new lucids. I didn't want this to mess with my cognitive capacities at the time as i needed, and still need, them seriously preserved for my work. |

Spontaneous LDs: 2
DILD (DILD / MILD): 13 (3 / 10)
WILD (WILD / DEILD): 9 (7 / 2)
Total Lucid Dreams: 24 (2 of them were EPIC LDs!)
First Lucid Dream:23-07-2009
Last Lucid Dream:01-09-2011
I have read superficially about it, but from good sources. Perhaps you can google it. I think biphasic sleep is acceptable but multiple awakenings per night seem like a bad thing. But, if not on a daily basis, i think it is not relevant. In short, for my self i prefer to take chance of natural awakenings and start counting or autosuggestion for DEILD and not too much arousal like dream journaling. |

I see what you mean. I also stopped at the time because of that. I was waking up a lot during the whole night because i would end a dream and have to write it down on the journal. But to me it was the best method as the increase in dream recall really helped me on having lucid dreams. If i dont dream journal i doubt i will be able to Lucid Dream so efficiently. One thing i wonder is, the sleep pattern goes through some phases, with a certain periodicity. Generally when you wake up to dream journal you wake up after a dream. So, most of the times you will wake up after a REM period. During the whole night, the idea i had from personal experience and what i learned in university was that there were spontaneous short duration awakenings, during which you would move, roll over, etc but you wouldnt remember them and would go back to sleep. If this is true, the Dream Journaling and waking up to write them wouldnt have such an important impact as they would be just more sustained awakening rather than superficial ones that you would forget. Of course im just advancing my theories. The fact is i was afraid of their impact as well. |

Have you ever gotten dubs in your dreams? |

My equivalent to the rubbing hands together is to get down on the floor and feel the ground, and feel how real it is. This has the same effect for me. |

Yes MrOMGWTF, WBTB has also been the answer for me over the years! |

“One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. Which road do I take? she asked. Where do you want to go? was his response. I don't know, Alice answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn't matter.”
Could somebody explain what "acetylcholine levels" have to do with Lucid Dreaming, or Dreaming in general? |

Hey, sorry for the terribly late response, it was a long time since the last time I browsed this forum. |

I'm really glad to have come across this. From now on I'll be studying for the next day's class during my WBTB's! |

I'm trying this tonight |

I like destruction and reality, and one invariably leads to the other.
