Thread: can talking about dreams help?

Recently ive been talking and thinking about dreams and lucid dreams quite a bit, its always at the back of my mind. And only recently have I had any degree of lucidity in my dreams (albeit small, but ive only just started) or remember them. So Ive come to the conclusion that talking and thinking about them a lot can help to obtain lucidity or remember them.
Anyone agree/disagree here?

Constantly thinking about lucidity will bring you to lucidity simply because the concept/topic will be active in your subconscious.

That's exactly what the "Power of resolution" technique is all about (quoting LaBerge here) where you work out a constant frame of mind about resolving the dream state by constantly thinking that all things around are of the substance of dreams.

So, yes, thinking (and talking, which is hard without thinking, heh) about lucidity will help with achieving it for sure.

Absolutely agree. The more you keep dreams in the forefront of your thinking, the more likely you are to recall your dreams, and to have lucid dreams.

I dunno. Sometimes I'm amazed how many people seem to have mastered this.

I definitely agree too. My personal experience is that after few days of being here, I had my first fragment of lucid dream. I think that reading, posting and thinking about LD was the cause.
I would also add the sense of community that one can breathe here. Finally, the desire to post here some interesting LD experience is another boost to LD.

it definately helps, i've talked about lucid dreaming with kyhaar, wich recently joined this forum, about lucid dreaming, i told her what it was, and where to find this site , and the next night i had an LD, 4 days after that (could be coincidence though), i got another one, after like, 4 months i got 2 ld's in 5 nights... it definately helps... try it
but talk only to someone who would be interrested in this...

Another vote for "it definitely helps". Unfortunately my friends just look at me weird when I talk to them about dreams, so I have to do so online.

Talking about Lucid Dreams is an excelent way to get your mind mentlay prepared to have them. It makes your mind aware and excited and in the mode to have them. So talk abotu Lucid dremaing becase its fun and useful.

Yeah, well, as you may have noticed, things that are on your mind a lot often show up in dreams. Perhaps if you preoccupy yourself with lucidity, you'll be more prone to becoming lucid. There's a lot of other stuff that's involved, of course, unless you happen to be a natural -- and even then, a WBTB every now and then certainly doesn't hurt -- but getting your mind set on it is a good way to get started.

Good luck, and please PM "da biz" if you have anymore questions.
