1. Perform authentic reality checks as soon as you think of doing it. No matter how often that is. Be sure they are authentic, though. A rote based RC will be of no benefit.
2. Every-time you enter a building you will perform your mantra: "if I am dreaming right now, I will become lucid." and then an authentic reality check. The mantra wording is up to you. The reason we are doing this is not in hopes of "entering a building" and repeating your mantra in a dream... It's more about bringing your mind and thoughts consistently back to dreaming.
3. Get a solid eight hours of sleep per night. Anytime you wake up write down the last thing you remember in full detail. Don't skim the details because...
4. Laziness will get you nowhere.
5. Before going to sleep every night envision what you want to dream about and then turn that into a mantra. For example: "Tonight, while I'm dreaming, I will see Sasuke from Naturo. When I do: I will become lucid." Repeat that for a good 10 minutes or so (your mantra can be ANYTHING. It's all about creating a routine, not strictly about the words) and then move on to the next step.
6. Perform number based WILD. Pick a number to count to (the higher the better.) and do it. If you mess up then go back to where you messed up or just start over. Once you reach that number you should perform a reality check. If you succeeded you should be able to immediately reap the benefits of lucidity! Do this up to five times and if you have no success go ahead and just go to sleep.
7. Perform the WBTB (wake, back to bed) method. Five hours after you go to sleep wake up. Write out your dream and then perform your # based WILD.
8. Post your results in your DJ or in this thread. The point of this is to stay consistently immersed into the world of lucid dreaming. To have it always on your mind will greatly increase the chance it gets cached into your daily residue.
Lucid dreaming is all about effort, routine, and positive thinking. Don't be negative or lazy. Always be positive. If you don't have an LD tonight or have a good recall tell yourself "tomorrow, I will do great." and truly believe it. The quest to Lucid Dreaming should and does take a lot of work. But it should not be stressing. If the routine ever becomes a chore: cut back on it a little bit. The moment you quit honestly wanting it and just going through the motions... All of the effort goes down the drain with it.
