Another lucid!!! Only five days from last one! I hope I'm in my way to increasing frequency.
There's a little story behind this one:
I've been thinking about my MILD skill, that is, I'm following LaBerge's Mnemonic Induction method, which is based on visualizing a dream to get your prospective memory remind you to ask yourself if your are dreaming. Now the truth is my dream recall detail is not good, and my memory neither, so I was telling me that LaBerge's MILD is a good technique but in my case was going to take a while to be as effective as I would like.
But I've been on a trip (that didn't work out well, logistic problems made us come back earlier than planned) and Saturday while traveling I read the chapter about inducing DILDs at ETWOLD. There he says something very interesting I didn't remember, with MILD you can use "intentional effort" but with Autosuggestion that's counterproductive. Taking that into account, this weekend I decided to stop commanding myself to lucid dream in my mantras, but rather remind myself that I can easily realize when I'm dreaming, and voila!
Obviously, this could all be a placebo... But it worked!
Something that I feel helped a lot was that I was reading some of CanisLucidus oldest lucids for inspiration, and it did boost my confidence!
Regarding the lucid dream itself, this is one I particularly enjoyed, because of several reasons: It's very close to my last one so I'm increasing frequency, I achieved my first personal goal at the competition (have a lucid within the first week), had my first moments of awareness regarding my voice and the end of the dream, and I could remember more things from WL than I expected, like names and faces. Oh, and first time CanisLucidus show up in my dreams somehow
