Thread: Here Is A Good Idea For Lucidity....

Ok folkz, some of you may know me..if not..I'am Dj Jones (spiritofthewolf)

If you recall a while back I had come up with an interesting experiment to try to gain lucidity...It is quite simply actually...

Here it is: Print out on computer paper ranging from BIG TEXT to small text (whichever way you want it) Phrases like I'AM DREAMING/ reality check/ Calm Down etc..And make sure it is centered in the middle of the page..Print it out, and hang them on your bedroom walls..Everytime you look at the Reality Check sign...do an RC....Make sign that says AM I DREAMING, and just ask yourself if you are dreaming with no RC...then look over at the RC sign, read it..then perform an RC...

This may help your brain focus more on concentration and getting a pattern down inside, so that when you do fall asleep, it may follow the same pattern in your dreams because your subconcious plays along with the dream, like everything is normal so it may use the same pattern as your waking mind...thus making you realize, YOUR DREAMING!



plz post replies on my idea...

SIDENOTE: I had done this almost a 8 or 9 months ago..and the first 2 nights resulted in 1 LD and 2 False Awakenings..Which if your good with F/A's it could result in 3 LD's in 2 days...but everyone is different...please enjoy


thanks

just make sure ur non lucid dreaming family/friends dont walk in to ur room

sounds like a solid idea

The problem with this is that after a little while you'll stop seeing the sign because you'll be used to it being there

Often when I am loading games for my computer, I look at my drawings (I've got alot of them on my wall). I will try this. I find it hard to remember to RC every hour or every halfhour. I've not got a watch :/

Thank you mate, I'll try it out

I agree. It's a great idea, but I don't think it would work for more than a week or two. Also, non-LDers would pose a problem. You'd have to explain to them about Lucid Dreaming, and even then they might think it is some kind of acid or something. Many people would treat it as some weird cultish psychic freak shit, and think you're high. That's why I don't tell people about how I try to get Lucid, and if I do, I just say I am trying to learn to control my dreams as that won't weird people out.

Yeah, I'm afraid of telling my family about this and stuff...

Anyway, maybe it would help if you coloured it? I don't know, just to make it more attractive.

Why are you afraid of that? Having somebody to talk about lucid dreaming is great

I told a friend but he hasn't done anything about it...

I'm not afraid of telling my family about Lucid Dreaming, but I think if I started putting up LDing signs all over my room they'd think I'm some kind of fread. It's more friends I am afraid of telling, I am "weird" enough as it is, and they would probly think it is "creepy", and "gay", like meditation and yoga (neither of which I personally find "creepy"/"gay", just their opinions).

Although I think it's not a bad idea, I do agree with the comments above. I told my brothers about how I was trying to LD and they gave me the "new age bullshit" lecture. Instead of making my family understand, I'd rather they just not know. :sweat2:

Also, in response to what Billybob said, maybe once you got used to where the sign was, you could move it to another place in your room, or reprint it so it looks different. I don't know if this would make a difference, just an idea... ^_^

If they like Star Trek, tell them it is like having your own personal holodeck. Then they will want to know about it!

Yeah that's a good idea, but I suspect that your subconscious might just delete it randomly or something like that. It would probably work once or twice, but once you get used to it being there, you wouldn't notice if it didn't exist in one of your dreams.
