Windy's Self-hypnosis Test

[Windhover@]

Hello. Few days ago my long dream partner friend Katsuno recommended me a book called 'A Practical Guide to Self-hypnosis' by Martin Solveig and we decided to apply this self-hypnosis on LDing. To put in short, self-hypnosis is just like the title says - you hypnotize yourself to 'program' something that you want in your subconscious mind. (posthypnosis?) It requires both focus and visualizing with positive auto-suggestion which makes your intent dream come true. This morning I had successful 2 LDs through self-hypnosis, and Katsuno had his own, too, which broke his 2 month dry spell! So in this thread I want to see what my results would be; how it would increase my LD frequency with self-hypnosis. The achievements will be (other than LDing): 1. Lucid dreaming 2. Shared dreaming 3. Astral Projection 4. Other dream incubations I've been LDing for 3 years and half, and I was still struggling to have LDs everyday until I read the self-hypnosis book. Sometimes I went into 'good' phase of LDing, and then it just stopped, which brought something very annoying for LDers called dry spell, then tried to find another method to get lucid, I had some success but it stopped again - I just kept going in circles and circles. I couldn't figure out the way to be confident, to erase doubts that LDing was hard. (but it's not true!) Self-hypnosis was the last straw, I think. It's been only 2 days since I've tried it but I know now it will be holy grail for achieving lucidity, and perhaps just everything in dream life and real life. I wanted to create this thread for my own, and for showing people of my attempts so I can make myself promising. So let's have LDs!
