Thread: Questionnaires

Spoiler for General:

Which method do you prefer to use?
WBTB/VILD. If I just want to go to sleep right away, MILD.

Which method have you had the most success from?
MILD/Lately I've had alot of success from

How long have you been practicing lucid dreaming?
Hmm. I practiced techniques when I was a child- tried it for about a year. ?Stopperd. Came here- So total? Uhh, ~2 and a half Years.~

On average, how many lucid dreams do you have monthly?
Oh, gosh. I can't give an average. 7-22? It's hard, since I write them in my DJ but don't keep count.

Would you find a DV book on lucid dreaming helpful?
It would be helpful for the lucid dreaming community at large

How much would expect to pay for the book?
If I was a bystander, I may pay 20 bucks if it's a good sized book.

Would you buy the book if it was for sale?
See Ninja's response.

Spoiler for DILD:

How many times during the day do you reality check?
Oh, I'm not sure. Maybe 0-4 times a day. Not very much. I used to RC more.
*Shrug*

What is your signal for a reality check?
Anything that makes me do a double take.

Do you have a dream sign? (Please state)
Not particularly. There are a few people that show up in my dreams alot that I don't see in RL. Also, if I do something out of character for myself that can be a dream sign.

Do you find DILD easier than other methods? (Please state why)
No, just because I go through stints where I DILD every night for awhile then go through periods where I can't seem to DILD. DILDs are just too inconsistent.

On average, how often do you successfully DILD monthly?
4-20 (There really isn't an average. Hehe.)

Out of 5, How difficult do you find DILD? (5 being the most difficult)
2.5

Any other comments?
For DILDs, I like MILDs

Spoiler for DEILD:

Do you find DEILD easier than other methods? (Please state why)
Not really, when I wake up I am out of it for maybe a minute or so.


On average, how often do you successfully DEILD monthly?
I may try it once in a month. Maybe twice. Like I said, I used to try it alot more.

Do you use DEILD to chain lucid dreams?
I used to use these types of techniques, but now I can generally keep myself in my lucids about as long as I want to do stuff. So I don't find it necessary.

If so, what is the most you have chained in one night?
A few. Maybe 4, maybe only 3. Never was to great at remembering to DEILD before I moved around.


Do you find it hard to remember the previous dream when you DEILD?
Upon initially awakening, often. But as I DJ one dream, the other dream rushes back to me and I remember the feeling vividly. So not really.


Out of 5, How difficult do you find DEILD? (5 being the most difficult)
3

Any other comments?
Naw

Spoiler for WILD:

Do you find WILD easier than other methods? (Please state why) No, I haven't been able to even achieve a one hundred percent orthodox WILD.


On average, how often do you successfully WILD monthly?
Depends. I've only ever done an ordinary WILD once and that wasn't fair. However, if VILDs count, then quite a few.

Do you usually experience sleep paralysis when WILDing?
Nope.

Do you prefer to WILD during a nap or during the night?
Generally the night. Thouhg I've attempted nap WILDs many times.

If you have chosen during the night, how many hours do you sleep before attempting WILD?
5

Out of 5, How difficult do you find WILD? (5 being the most difficult)
5

Do you combine WILD with other methods? (Please state)
Does VILD count?

Any comments?
VILDs have a decent challenge, but I can do them when I want. I cannot do normal WILDs at will.

Spoiler for Dream Control:

On average, how long do your lucid dreams last?
15-25/30 minutes


If your lucid dream began to fade, how would you reboot it? (Example: Rub my hands)
I start being active, take a controlling mind-set, and use my experience to let the world become vivid and crystal clear once again.

Out of 5, how much control do you have in your lucid dreams? (5 being the most control)
3, I pretty much do what I want- but it takes serious effort and concentration to do something major and keep the world in tact. I prefer this, actually, as it makes it all more real.

What will usually cause a premature awakening?
Not being active for too long or getting bored, (very very rare of course for the getting bored,) something happening in the waking world that disturbs me.
