That short-filme about lucid dreaming you posted in the competition's thread is freaking awesome ^^
this would explain why kids catch on easily to incubation and lucidity.
Yes, one of the audios that I just put up talked about how similar my method is to incubation, and that I might have had a head start because of incubation in the past. Lets consider my mantra "I'm Dreaming, slow" that goes off at all times in my head. If any part of this comes into a dream, I will have a very high chance of becoming lucid. either by slowing down, or by thinking that I am dreaming. In my experience, incubation works on your belief of the world (part), day residue (part), emotional connection (part), and experience (part). All of these are easily changeable by some practice except for the first one. The first one would take belief actually changing, and that is "expectation." Expectation doesn't just work like "I expect I am going to have a dream about spaceships tonight", but expectation is changed by experience. This is why nothing happens overnight, it might be the most important part. It is hard for me to see becoming lucid aside from incubation.
Isn't it interesting when you consider that incubation makes up for a certain percentage of all lucid dreams regardless of technique used? If you think about it: It doesn't matter what exercise, the intentional action itself determines that you're increasing chances of said scenario showing up in your dreams. This of course raises immediately a very interesting question: might it be that the harder you practice, you might not necessarily increasing the effectiveness of the technique, but increasing your incubation chances?
That is crazy! How is everyone in the world not so Freaking interested in LDing? It is so good and interesting!
The neuroeconomics class didn't want to discuss lucid dreaming in more detail....I tried explaining the fascination of the process of decision making in dreams, but the thread got dragged down xD You know what I miss? Ignorance, like in the old days where it was about the experience and not about rationalizing about it
Oh! Yeah. :/ you know where the close thread button is! It makes no sense!
Oh, it wasn't a reminder towards that thread, just a friendly joke regarding the accidentally closure of a recent thread xD
Haha, did I forget to respond. :l. I shall go back this afternoon. Sorry about my tardiness... I have not been busy :pillowfight:
Your patience in some* threads is admirable *wink wink
