Thread: New here

Hey crescentfox. People have said they have used that kind of stuff to induce a lucid, but i have never done it. I don't think you could access memories that you don't remember. Your mind would just make them up. You could relive a memory that you can remember.

Hey there Crescent!

I've personally tried binaural beats, but it basically made no difference whatsoever. However, you can download some lucid MP3's from here. - http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=55276 I prefer the EILD ones. :p

As for accessing memories, I'm not really sure about that. I've had LD's in the past, and they've triggered me to remember a memory I had seemingly forgotten.

You could use subs and hypnosis as a supplement, but I'd focus on conscious methods. Consciousness is the fabric of lucidity, after all! I'd definetely try meditation, though. It's the focus you need, but with unfettered self-confidence.

Memories in dreams are just like memories in real life. They can be inaccurate. As long as you aren't using it for criminal investigation purposes, go ahead and dream on!

hey welcome to forums, i never done any of those things myself but heard of others doing it id say its possible and depends on the person

We can't really say for sure whether any forgotten memories in lucids are accurate or not. It might be possible, but how's anyone going to know?

Thanks for your answers everyone. I have started to do reality checks and figured out what could be a potential dream sign.

Abra, if it's not too much to ask for, can you give me some pointers on meditation. I started to practice it about a month ago, and it's rather difficult to "stop thinking". What I do is first observe my thoughts for a few minutes, then focus on one thought, then try to focus on nothing. During this entire time I let my body go numb.

You don't need to focus on "nothing." In fact, with lucid dream meditation, I focus on awareness. I try to be aware of my breath, of the temperature of my hands and feet, of the weight of my clothes, of the sound of the ceiling fan, etc, etc.

Hmmm...so basically I need to focus my awareness on by body and senses in general? That seems to make sense. Thanks again.
