Wohoo! - keeping my streak up, had my first LD for April!
This particular LD was induced using my method here, with a little twist:

As part of the technique requires being somewhere along the traditional WILD process, it was during a short awakening that I recall being "aware" that it was the middle of the night and I was in bed. Instead of thinking about my room as I have been doing, however, I used a different (yet just as familiar) setting - my kitchen.

I'm experiencing audible hypnogoggia, no visual just yet - only darkness. Then some point I see a flash or glimpse of imagery. It looked like a table that I had in my kitchen. Then it goes dark again. I concentrate on wanting to be able to "see", but I strangely feel that those efforts are actually raising my awareness a bit too much - almost to the point of waking me up. I decide to just relax (as in previous post) and let the audibles get stronger and pull me into sight.

I hear the nagging of someone I work with and the sound of plates. I'm being told to set the table or something. Then (not clear on whether I made this conscious decision or not) I begin to visualize my kitchen(not bedroom) as if I were in it with all the lights off (seeing as that I still had no imagery before me).

The kitchen then pulls into "sight" and I'm stanging right at the one entrance way next to the table - nagging co-worker before me! On the table is a set of green plates. Still "aware" that what I see is a dream I pick a plate up and hold it in the air thinking "this pate should just float here in space if I drop it". I let go, and the plate drops to the floor!

Ok, I still know I'm dreaming and try again "this plate WILL float..." - this time the plate drops very slowly and I manage to make it stop (with my thoughts) halfway to the floor. This fills me with an even stronger sense of control, and so I lift up another plate (telekinetically) and whip it into the nagging co-worker's stomach - shootin her all the way across the dinning room and through the wall!

This particular experience pretty much convinces me that this technique (or thought process) of using a familiar setting can really work if practiced just a little. It really only requires that the sleeper remember to apply it. [color=darkblue]Why I think it works:
[list]1) By thinking of a place that really exists the dreamer has a model (schema) of what behaviors, objects, or people to expect. Anything way out of the ordinary content that the dreaming mind would produce could cue the sleeper that he/she is in a dream.

2) Visuallizing something keeps the sleeper engaged in two opposing areas of the mind which need to come together for lucid dreaming: awareness and imagination. Actively focusing on something (visualizing) keeps your mind in the aware state - while using your focus to try and "see" something without using your eyes fires off your imaginative or unconscious content.[list]
I'm thinking about putting together a tutorial for this even though it seems to be more of a supplement to WILD, rather than a completely new technique. Might be easier to understand if I condense it.
