Thread: Probably The Best Way To LD

I highly doubt that not drinking anything for six hours or so before you sleep is going to affect your health in a negative fashion.

Maybe if you eat some peanut butter and crackers along with a spoonful of salt before you go to bed, that might make the 'xPerience even better.

I agree with Pojmaster. it sounds like a good idea, but It's definitely not going to be the best way to lucid dream. I can almost guarantee I wouldn't dream about getting something to drink because I usually don't dream about anything directly relevant to what was going on that day. But that's just me. My point is, everyone dreams differently so although it sounds like a good idea, nothing's fool proof or will work for everyone, therefore can't be labeled as the best

Good point lagunagirl. That does seem to show that all of us are unique in our dream experiences. Again, for me, this could work because EVERY single time I find myself thirsty in a dream (seeking water) .. I wake up dying of thirst. Somehow the actual body condition (thirst) must somehow work it's way into my dream symbolically. Then again, perhaps not many other people have actually gone into a dream while dying of thirst. That apparently is hard to do because if you're that thirsty, it seems like you'd get up and get water.
Unless .. you're asleep for 7 or 8 hours without interruption.

Yeah, this would be great except I don't have a single recorded instance in my entire, multi-year spanning dream journal of drinking anything in a dream. Ever.

So, sounds like it might be good for other people, but with my record it seems like it wouldn't help that much. There's no guarantee that dehydration will make me dream of drinking.

Good idea, though. I may modify it to create a new RC technique for myself.
