Forgive me, but what do you mean by anchor? (I'm new to this :))

I like this. I count until my mind wanders, then I start over, and over, and over. Tkindle007's method is much better than trying to remember what number you are on, as that will hurt your chances of...

I've never used any specific anchor. When I WILD it seems that the environment produces enough elements for me to maintain awareness as I head into the dream. I'm usually aware of dreaming...

For me I personally like counting to 3 then starting over. For some reason the repetitiveness of it keeps me from wondering too much where as just straight counting with no limit i will just fall...

SP and HIs are not anything anybody should be focused on. They are just things that happen, not things to be sought after.

Passive awareness is important, the anchor is there to pull you back from the brink, your mind should wander. If you focus to heavy-handedly on your anchor you will not fall asleep and will not enter...

Thanks to Mzzkc, I now realize that an Anchor is the KEY to WILDing. I have completly set aside anything like SP or HI or HH. However i was wondering if there was any more to WILDing AT ALL. Do all...

I've taken quite a break in trying to LD and have since not had SP in a very long time, but when I was actively trying to LD I got it around 10 or 11 times. Each time was both fascinating and fun. ...

I've had a similar experience once, where a character came up to me and flat out told me "you're dreaming" at which I had a sudden rush of clarity, then my alarm went off and I woke up. . . :shock:

Sleep paralysis CAN go bad, if you have no idea what is happening to you. If you know how the process works, then it's easy to change that fear into excitement. The first thing i always tell people...

I'm pretty sure that for this to work, it would need to be something that pleases the subconscious mind. Something that the mind wants you to do. Games please the conscious mind, your brain doesn't...

I have had a reoccurring dream in which I am drowning but I begin to breathe under water. In this dream I have never been able to realize I am lucid and it drives me insane!

When trying a WILD for me it feels like my hypnogogia gets so vivid that it completely engulfs my field of view and gains color and more intense sounds and feeling. Then i know I'm in a dream :)

I've had a lot of questions on my mind to ask about LD and so forth, but every time i type in a question, someone has already asked it and it's been answered in depth. I'll never get any interacting...

blue = day activity before sleep
dark orange = dream
red = lucid dream
Black = thoughts/notes
I kept the REM dreamer guide in my pocket and occasionally read the "REM dreamer signals inside a dream" part and visualized myself in those situations plus becoming lucid. I also did reality checks.
These are the dream fragments. I don't remember much because I had a restless night because my summer vacation ends tonight and I'll be at work tomorrow.
I again dreamed about my childhood school (what's up with that?) All the schools and classmates along my life had been mixed together in a one "blob" which had anything to do with the word association "school". Our class was discussing about some type of a school trip to somewhere. I had somehow driven to school with my current car (renault megane classic) and with a Toyota landcruiser. Some other dudes had crashed into my Toyota and the front right door had ripped off... It started snowing when I was examining the damage... I woke up soon after.
I think I had one or two false awakenings because the "REM dreamer" was not responding, until I woke up for real later that night.
I need to concentrate harder in this!

I decided to give my REM dreamer a try. I had taken a long pause from lucid dreaming in general, but a spontaneous DEILD out of the blue ignited my interest with lucid dreaming. I re-read the REM dreamers small booklet and started observing different light sources during the day + make reality checks
I spent the whole dream walking around with black goggles/glasses (like in Harry potter but with way thicker bars) and red led light attached to the left nose pad. I was in my childhood school during the whole dream. Some lady asked me if my glasses were one of those famous REM dreamers. I nodded and lended my glasses for her to examine them more closer. I explained her how they let me have lucid dreams and how they would flash a red light when I was dreaming. ...yes... the glasses kept on flashing red as I was saying these things to her. I put the REM dreamer back on and continued the dream without achieving lucidity. I woke up and was infuriated about my dream stupidity. The poor REM dreamer tried to tell me I was dreaming but I didn't take heed. I slowly "faded" back into a dream the red light flooded my field of vision. And I woke up (FA) I took the REM dreamer off and looked at the ceiling.. The red light shined again and I thought "odd, I took the mask off but I still see the red light?" Then I woke up for real... Just as I was about to get lucid.
The REM dreamer mask takes some getting used to, I woke up occasionally with an urge to turn on my side.. Its possible to sleep on your side, but you need to adjust the position of the mask a bit every time you turn, and sleeping on your back works best with the mask.
The good thing is that my red flashes are somewhat undisguised, and the presence of the REM dreamer are both very simple and clear dream signals! It won't take long for me to use it in my advantage.
