Thread: How long?

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.

Well, what are you doing now to help the process along?

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 .

See I have tried this peanut butter theory and it never works for me..Is it different for other people?

I also tried dark chocolate..didn't work either.

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.

It varies from person to person, you cannot be sure.
