How long does it take to start lucid dreaming? I try without prevail. Any ideas? tips? Everytime i notice i am dreaming i just wake up.
For some it's one night, for some it's a few weeks. Just keep at it and it will come, and it will be worth it.
Any suggestions though? Anything i can do I really want to LD. haha
You could try to placebo yourself up. A while back I read something that said peanut butter helps with lucid dreams. I ate a spoonful of peanut butter, and had a lucid dream that night. I'm pretty sure it was just because I thought it would help though.Quote:

Well i don't really know what to do. Currently I have been meditating a lot more then normal, I like to meditate and I figure it might help relax me so i do it more now then before. I listen to things before i go to sleep that are suppost to help, like binaural beats and a lady saying you will have a lucid dream!!! or somthing like that i don't know usual i fall alseep. What would you suggest?
Maybe ill try a spoonful of peanut butter :P.
Well a placebo is like a medicine or something that only works because you believe it will work. It's a mind over matter thing. That's why the peanut butter worked for me, because I believed it would. Just look around the "Attaining Lucidity" forum for some stuff that seems valid and if you think it might work, then hey, it might.Quote:

I went into the woods by my house to let my mom cool down a bit and I was out there sitting on the ground for 2 and half hours meditating. :) needless to say I was quite fine returning home.Quote:

What is Auto-suggestion?
I have been recalling my dreams for about a week and a half or so. I usually remember 1 or 2 but if i set my alarm on my phone I can get 3 or 4.
If its just the whole night its 1 partial and one full.
If its with the alarm its 1 partial then 1 full (alarm) 1 partial then 1 full.
Never mind i know what auto suggestion is. I do it in a way, I could probably do it a little more perseistantly.
What would you suggest I say?
I will have a lucid dream tonight?
Yes, something along the lines of that. Say it before going to bed and while you're falling asleep. :)
Amazing!:)Quote:
