Thread: Physical limitations an lucid dreaming.

Hey there,

You know, all these techniques that you read about, requiring you to do this or that are, in my opinion, all just techniques that help focus the mind on lucid dreaming. But its the mind where it eventually happens, so no... I don't think any physical limitations should make it more difficult to Lucid Dream.

Additionally, for everyone it is always a matter of finding out what works for him or her. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Personally, I find that doing these sort of dream-checks that you describe doesn't help me lucid dream at all. In fact apart from keeping a dream journal, I really don't do anything at all that requires taking any sort of physical action.

I guess my point is: find out what works for you. The most important parts are wanting to lucid dream and being willing to invest time and effort into it. If you got those two going for you, you're off to a great headstart, and will probably find a way to manage to Lucid Dream sooner or later.

Hope that helps,

My very first (and one of my my longest and most profound) lucid dream happened spontaneously from within a dream (DILD) without reality checks of any kind. All it took was about 10 days worth of thinking a lot about the subject, and wanting it badly.

I still have most of my LDs through the DILD way. The only time I do Wake-Back-To-Bed is because I had to get up anyway to go to the bathroom.

It shouldn't be a problem, even with whatever problems you may have. Some good techniques for you may be MILD, VILD, Dream Reentry, and CALD (can be found on ld4all). A good reality check would be to read something like a number, close your eyes, open then after a second or two, and read it again. If it says something different, you're obviously dreaming. The main factor in LDing is how much you want to, the techniques are just ways to try to increase the chances of it.
