Day 2
Recalled 3 dreams, one fragmented, one medium sized and a very vivid long one.
Day 23: I remembered one dream. But, something odd was happening. Two parts of my mind were struggling.
A part of my mind really wanted to look at everything in this aisle in the store, but my subconscious wanted the dream to keep moving, so it was forcing my feet along. Was this some internal struggle in the mind? :P
Day 14
Recalled bits and pieces from several dreams.
Hey guys,I'm gonna start my MILD journey again from tommorow as my exam has finished.Ill start from day 10.Wish me luck!
Well as you all know most of us have used this technique and actually had some sucsess. So the experiment worked! (If you have not had any success keep trying and you will :).)
But i want to turn this up a bit. bored2tears and I (and maybe someone else in this thread.) have ben attending a MILD class. Im learning alot on how to improve MILDing. There has ben about 9 people who have joined this experiment. About five already became lucid. (not even half way through the experiment.) And almost everyione increased dream recall.
Some people appear to be gone or just gave up. And i feel as though im going no were with ld. The ld's have seemed to stop. So im going to spice it up a bit.
Please use the technique along with the technique i included at the beginning of the experiment.

day residue/daydreaming
Day residue is basiclly things that happend in the day time that could be one of the main thing in your dreams at night. You can alter day residue with daydreaming. Think of your dream scene that you want to end up in. Think of truely being there.
The first thing that you need to visualize is a quick view of whats in front of you. Then daydream of you doing an reality check and becomming lucid. Feel the excitment and happyness. (But dont go overbored.)
Put your senses in the daydream. Make it through your eyes (not third person.) Listen to birds chirping without seeing them. Look how green the grass is. Touch a tree and try to feel the bark and how ruff it is. Smell (probably one of the hardest) the fresh air. And taste (another hard one.) a fruit that you got off of a tree.
Use at least three of your senses. Then focus on what you want to complete in your lucid dream. If you want to fly in your upcomming lucid dream then fly. Feel the wind going past you. See whats going on below you. Try and keep the same scene. Dont go from a forrest to a buliding. Or from your home to alaska. You can change scenes in your real dream after you complete the goal that you daydreamed about. The real point of the daydream is to dream about acually being there and then you can relize its a dream and then RC and become lucid. The other reason for daydreaming is to (when you become lucid) stay focused on your goal.
Remember that this is daydreaming. You are NOT asleep. Just using your imagination.
Multiple mantra's
I used to us the same mantra durnig the day, going to sleep, and during WBTB. But now we get a little more advanced.
During waking hours i say a mantra that will help me in what i want. Lets say im going through a dry spell and cant remember my dreams. Then i will say "when i wake i'll recall my dreams." (or something like it.) Or if i just want to be lucid than i will say "ill become lucid tonight or very soon." REMEMBER to say the same mantra during waking hours.
While going to sleep i focus on a mantra that will help me become lucid during WBTB. I usually say the same mantra everynight. "i'll wake before i dream". This gets me awake at the correct time without an alarm.
During WBTB i say a mantra that will get me lucid. I normally say the same one every WBTB session. "i dream lucid". Mainly because if you get up at the right time then you will al,ost instantly go into REM sleep and "i dream lucid" is fresh on your mind.
Advanced meditation
Instead of just clearing your thoughts, focusing on your breathing, or focusing on a noise. Do more daydreaming!!! When you go to sleep the dream you want will be on your mind and when you see the scene in your dream you should do a RC and BAM your lucid!!!!
There is more advanced things but i think ill post them in about 20 to 30 more days.
day 24
Remembered three dreams.
I have to say thanks for the guide. Couldnt sign up for the class because never knew of it and besides since im on GMT its almost impossible to assist a class (only if I am on a WBTB xD). But thanks again, im going to try this
So you say that if we in a WBTB focus in a repeating sound (like white noise) you will daydream (doing what you said above), increasing the chances of becoming lucid?Quote:

But if you need it to be a little quiet while daydreamingt than i sugest you not use sounds. But daydreaming will help increase your chances in becomming lucid and maybe even vividness if you use your senses correctly.Quote:

Thanks for the advanced tips!
I'm taking my MILDing up from here on out, and hopefully by the end of this I'll have one or more a night ;)
Dakotah. I advise you to not post your learnings from our classes to help out other people. Helping other people out is completely absurd and against the law. :P
Anyway, I remembered 2 other dreams, but I didnt want to write them down. :P
This thread is a great testimonial to the effectiveness of dedication and desire in trying to lucid dream. If you want it enough, and apply yourself...
Good stuff guys :)
Hahahahaha i felt like i was in trouble untill i read the last line.Quote:

Let me say what I remember. First I was in some store, but then I appeared in some city. All of a sudden, I realized I was dreaming. I did not even have to do a reality check! I just knew that I was in a dream! I didn't do a reality check to test reality either. Instead of trying to do anything, I just walked around. There was one building in the distance that looked like a turtle, but the turtle shell part had spikes. I remember in my dream, I told myself "I have to remember this when I wake up!" The building was in fact cool. I did a reality check at some point to feel the cool feeling of breathing through your body. I walked through a door and into my room. I really wanted to summon my friend, but I knew that was just a sexual instinct. I didn't want to get addicted to lucid sex yet, so I didn't summon her. I laid down on my bed to feel how real it felt. I blinked, and then screamed "Clarity Now!". I did the reality check, and it failed?! I decided to sleep, since it failed.
Oddly, my parents did not wake up when I screamed, so I think that I was still dreaming when I screamed it. Oh well! I WENT LUCID!
Awsome! Good for you! Its great how you managed to get good dream control on your first. Most people wake up the first time. Grats ;)
Well, that's because most people get too excited right away. I been telling my mind since the start, sort of like another mantra, "I will not get too excited during a lucid dream". So, I been telling this myself for a month, and it paid off.
Everyone, stay positive. I was able to have a lucid dream, and so will you!
Wohhoo! Your so grown up :'-)
Well yesterday I posted my dreams. And my stupid computer didnt put it through! The same thing happened to my workbook!
Day 25
No dream recall.
Day 10:No dream recall.Must be because I was tired playing with friends all day after exam.
i have to say that i've experienced INCREASED dream recall from the 1st technique and im not exaggerating. Gonna put MILD on hold for awhile now, major exams ):
Day 11:Still no dream recall.
This dream happened 1 week ago when my exam was going on.I was in exam hall and giving biology exam.Suddenly when I got the question paper I instantly realised that I am dreaming and started to memorise the questions(I heard from some of my friends that in dreams some of them got the real exam question).So I memorised some part of the first part of the question and looked around.Everything seemed ultra real and I saw everyone giving exam seriously.So I then became confused whether I was dreaming or awake.But after a few seconds I again became confident that I am dreaming and didn't pay any attention to the teachers and my classmate.I then moved to page-2 of the question.When I came back to page-1 I saw that every question changed.Then I woke up.Question-1:Was this a lucid dream??? Question-2:Is it true that question papers in dream sometime match real life exam question??? I didn't get any question common from the dream the next day.Thanks for your time reading this post.
Day 5
Tried a mantra for recall and I remembered 5 dreams...
@Meraz: If you knew that you were dreaming and you could control yourself (memorizing the questions) then it was a lucid. But you didnt RC right? Because you were confused by the realism of it. I have no experience on it but it might have a match (maybe 1 question).
Day 25: Remembered 3 small dreams.
I had a lucid, but I forgot. Oh well, tonight I will have a lucid and remember it!
Day 26
Mp dream recall. Stupid stress!!! And I think there will be more stress next week when school starts :(
