Well I beg to differ. My lucid dreams are not like my regular dreams. They are more like real life or at least some have been. Some are very dreamy and not at all vivid. A few have been very vivid...

What dolphin said, but if you are like me, you might find that DEILD just doesn't work because you have woken and the REM cycle has ended. WILD might then require you to wait an hour for your brain...

Its very easy to keep partitioning the subconsious and conscious as if they are two separate things. The two are quite digital in their naming (conscious either on or off), and that was my point...

While I think of it, there is a reason to have two terms; subconscious and unconscious. It doesn't sound right to me to say that someone is subconscious, when they are unconscious, but for the brain...

Sorry, I have to concur with redrivertears on this one. The idea of the subconscious as some sort of other entity doesn't work for me. I see consciousness as a spectrum, with fully conscious at one...

Two months is a short time to be attempting to LD in my view. Some good advice already in the other replies. I would only add that maybe you need to take a more relaxed approach. Don't stress about...

Hi Josh, and congrats on your lucids! I don't think there's any problem with you thinking of your subconscious as trying to help you, like it's another sentient. The problem is we still don't really...

Try looking at yourself in a mirror as you change? That would be a tough one !

Yuschak's book talks a lot about doses and timings. You presumably know about the long half -life of Galantamine and not to use it too often. I occasionally use 8 mg, but would always allow at least...

If it worked, why call him foolish? A professional might have put him on Prozac ;-) In this case I'd say clever! To the OP, what a fantastic opportunity LDing is to explore! The ultimate goal...

You've probably come across it on here already, but one of the keys to long term success is consistency. If you expect quick results and hop from one technique to another you might be disappointed....

I'm running in a long distance race with a few others. It is very vivid but not lucid. We go round a corner and then have to climb a steep incline. At the top we get bogged down in mud, and have to jump across a small gap, but there's a weird sort of matting under foot. I stop and opposite me is a guy who is obviously the instructor on the course. He stares at me and after quite a long while says, "don't I know you?", although I'm not sure I actually hear the words. He is in his thirties with a neatly trimmed but full beard and moustache, with neat hair and a young looking face. I move on and slide down a steep slope to the ground the other side, realising that he is a group captain, and I have a strong wish that I was a group captain as well.
On the ground I start walking along a path with a concrete wall on my left, and I suddenly become aware that I'm dreaming. I put my hand up to the wall and look closely at it, trying to stabilise by inspecting it. The wall has a coarse granular appearance with sparkling particles in it, but I can't seem to focus properly on it. I move on a bit and try again, but the same thing happens. There seems to be a weird fuzziness to the surface.
I get frustrated with that and decided that I need to change the scene, so the wall disappears and I move over to where there is a small tree and I put my arms out around it. Then I get the urge to fly up and I levitate straight up and above the tree. I move up quite slowly at first, but then as I glance around I can see some houses, but it's a bit vague.
Then almost as suddenly I'm back on the ground, but at the edge of a cliff, way above a bay with the sea below. Without any fear I decide to dive into the bay below and I jump up and dive down. At first I accelerate quite fast but then as I go down my speed slows a bit to a steady pace. Down below I can see a sort of long cloud that at first looked to be on the water, but the water is way below and this cloud is above. As I approach it the cloud comes up to me, and then it becomes a woman in a long white flowing dress. She flies up to meet me, and I pull up into the air with her as we come close together.
(All this was lucid).
