Thread: Hopefully a new technique, or at least a good version of a known technique.

The first thing you need to know is what type of learner you are. Think of how you spell a word. Do you think of how it looks? Do you right it down? Do you say the word before you try to spell it?

The thing we need to do is cover all aspects of learning. Visual, Tactile, auditory.

Here is the plan. During the day find a piece of paper and start writing things like "lucid dreams", or "I will have a lucid dream". Do this as much as you can, don't make your hand hurt.

About an hour before bed actualy say the mantra you have been using (you can still say your mantra in your head at WBTB).

Right before bed read what you wrote. Read every line of it. Even if it all says the same thing.

To attain lucidity you are going to have to form a habit. Before a habit forms you have to get through the conditioning phase. The conditioning phase is a thirty day time period that it takes to make a habit stick. To make the habit stick you have to be very dedicated for the thirty day time period.

Do the same thing everyday for thirty days.

For motivation set a goal, don't set it high. Just set it to something like a lucid dream. Every time you reach the goal set the next one a bit higher. (like something you want to do in a lucid). Celebrate when you reach your goal. Eat your favorite food. Post a thread about meeting your goal and how excited you are (anything you want!)

Every time you think of lucidity do a little ritual. Hum a song, snap your fingers, do a little dance. ANYTHING. What this thought does is pay a little more attention to that thought over all your other thoughts.

If you are having a problem think of an alternative solution. "I'm getting mad because I can't be lucid, but if I was lucid I could..." fill in the blank.
