Thread: Lucid dreaming on demand :)

Interesting... so it's sort of- instead of willing yourself into the LD, you think, why SHOULDN'T I LD?

...thought appearing in my mind : \"Why dont I lucid dream now?\" I'm sure that thought wasnt a product of my logical thinking, it just appeared out of the blue!

Any form of suggestion to oneself to have Lucid Dreams will eventually pay off in having Lucid Dreams. Some suggestions are more elaborate than others. "Reality Checking" is simply an indirect form of suggestion, and it works well because people are swept into its logic and so they exercise it well and often. But the simple suggestion of "I will go Lucid in my dreams", if practiced with the same intensity, would bring similar results, but instead of having to find some incongruity in one's dream, which the Dream would have to provide in order to tip you off, with just the simple suggestion to Lucid Dream, it will come to you that you simply know you are now Lucid. As you say, the thought will just occur to you.

Hehe, I dont exactly think about it. Pretty much like I'm laying in bed, very relaxed, my awareness dulled to the extreme, and suddenly my mind tells me that I can do just about anything now.
It's quite different from normal LD entry, as I have much more power and possibilities - last year I discovered dream reentry technique this way. This time I forced WILD....


Another interesting thing is : this happened to me only when I went to bed aware of LD possibility, but with an attitude "I dont want to think about it"


As for suggestion : I had a theory that you can "charge" your suggestion by thinking and enforcing it... When you remove conscious pressure, your suggestion starts working...
