If you are skeptical, read Exploring the Wolrd of Lucid Dreaming, by stephen laberge, LDing is a proven fact. Though be warned, first few times, a lot of people wake up fast and complain about it not being as great as they were told <.< |

Hey guys. I was reading on facebook and I happened to see a status about Lucid Dreaming. I googled it out of interest, and my search has led me here. I'm skeptical as to how well this works, but I am open to try it out and see if I can become lucid once or twice. From what I read, it's a really empowering experience and if it works for me, I would love to pursue it and see what's up. |

I am not closed to trying it. I actually have a few questions. |
|
Yes, it's never going to be as good as you're told it is unless you stick with it long-term. If you do though, there's really no limit to what you can do. EWOLD is the best book on the subject. Gives a great explanation of how cognative functions work and how dreams are built. |

Everyone can learn to lucid dream. It's just a question of time. Some get lucky and have their first in a couple days, but for others, it can take months. If you stick with it long-term, you'll get lucid far more frequently, and have longer and better dreams. |

There is nothing to be skeptical about. Lucid dreaming has been proven. Specifically, when you're dreaming, and you move your eyes, your eyes move in real life too. They've proven lucid dreaming by telling supposed lucid dreamers to move their eyes in a specific way once they become lucid. They then detect that the person is dreaming, and that his or her eyes are moving in the predesignated way. |

Ok, I guess skeptical would be the wrong word choice. I am more worried that I won't be able to achieve lucidity even with a lot of time and effort. |

supernova answered question number 2 and for number one, it could nothing is 100% reliable |

Well, as dye said, nothing is 100% reliable. I would recommend a battery of reality checks...but perform them only if you suspect you may be dreaming. In other words, as you go through your day, try to be more aware. If you see something unusual -- something that doesn't ordinarily happen -- do a couple reality checks. You don't have to be 100% alert at every moment, but try to improve your "flashes" of awareness. |
