Thread: BEGINNER MILD TECHNIQUE: 90 days.

This is my 90 day MILD EXPERIMENT
I labeled this as beginner because im pretty much new to lucid dreaming. im going to try the same MILD technique every night for 90 days and post the resaults day by day.

The question/problem.
Will a beginner get a lucid dream from my MILD technique in 90 days? i heard that MILD is one of the easiest techniques and now im going to put it to the test.

My hypothesis.
That i will experiance a lucid dream within the 90 days of the experiment! (i hope)

The technique.
During the day time i will will say the mantra "the next time i dream i will do a reality check and become lucid." i will say the mantra 1 time when i walk though doors(ways), 5 times when i use the bathroom, and 2 times when i get into a car.
During the night time i will meditate with binaural beats. i will then listen to myself say the mantra 100 times (about 4 minutes worth) (recorded by my Ipod.) and say my mantra in my head untill im sleepy and i will go to sleep.

NOTE: I will not be using any other technique during these 90 days except for the MILD.

im starting tonight. if anyone wants to do this with me just post your resaults on this thread. Wish me luck!

Night one!

well last night i did the full technique and no lucid dream (which was expected on the first night) BUT in the past two days like 4 days i had almost no dream reacall but last night i can remember a good amount of a dream! (i normally remember like 4 short ones or 1 long one) which will be posted on my dream journal located http:// Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource - dakotahs dreams - Dream Journals

night two!

no MILD last night but had 3 dreams and one of them is pretty good sized! my dream journal is located Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource - dakotahs dreams - Dream Journals

Keep it up!

night three!

Still no mild but im making progress on dream recall! my dream journals link is on the first and second post!.

I will be joining with your MILD journey.Will be posting my everyday result.

DAY 1:No mild.But recalled 3 good dreams.I am taking this as an improvement,as I was going through a dry spell for a few days on dream recall.

Mind if I join to? I made my own thread, but changed it to FILD, but didn't feel like waking up, and now I am confused as of what to do. Anyway, I think it is better when it is multiple number of people in one thread, because then you always have support and people to motivate you. Will post results tomorrow.

sure amyone can join! it will help my motavation!!!

and if you guys have a dreamviews DJ will you post a link on here? thanks! also would you guys like the binarual beats i listen to while meditating??

Night four!

remembered a good sized dream and i acually felt pain which makes me believe it was more vivid!

DAY 2:No mild.Only recalled 1 dream today.Hope recall will get better in future.

I already use binual beats while meditating.Its called"The brain evolution system".But I would love to know which binual beats you use.And sorry I don't have a dream journal here on DV.But I will post my lucid dreams in this thread(hope I'll get some soon).

Sure, I'd love to listen to your binarual beats you listen to while meditating.

Day 1: SUCCESS

I went to bed, repeating my mantra, "I will remember my dreams. I will become lucid. I am in control.", over and over to myself. I woke up at 1AM, and could not remember any dreams. I decided to try to FILD, but I actually fell asleep. If I wake up again, I am limiting the time to doing it to 30 seconds. I remember three fragments of dreams in the order they occurred. One was me in the passenger seat of a car, and I did my usual reality check. I pinched my nose, and I could breathe. For me, it was a really odd sensation. I forgot what happened after that. My dream after that was me bragging about having a lucid dream.

Would this count as a MILD or DILD?

Also, my DJ is at http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/bored2tears/

Well, I know I went lucid. That's all. I may have done epicly cool stuff, but I don't really remember. Technically, this was day 10 of my journey, but day 1 of this thread.

I think I'm going to go ahead and attempt this method. It sounds pretty solid, actually. I will be cataloging my experience in my DV Journal.

if you do reality checks during the day its DILD and if you just use your mantra its MILD

wow thanks for joining everyone! day five

no lucidity but what do i expect? it hasnt even ben a week yet!

the binaural beats are from sigma and technomind from the itunes store. techno mind offers two 30 minute sessions for only 2.99 a peice! and the entire sigma album is 9.99 the only thing that i hate about sigma is that sometimes with all the realaxing music and sounds sometimes they will talk out of nowere and freak you the eff out!

I got a question for you: When you're listening to the binaural beats. Do you actually keep listening to them all night/while you sleep? Or just before bed?

just before bed while meditating

Day 2: Nothing

I couldn't even remember any dreams this day. I listened to binaural beats, went to bed with a mantra, and woke up an hour or two later. I tried to fall asleep but everyone was loud in my house. I went to bed in a really bad mood, woke up in a bad mood.

Day 3:Couldn't recall a single dream.My college exam will finish tomorrow.I promise I will take MILDing serously from tomorrow.

Day six: Sucsess!!!

i was walking into a room with a couple friends, one that i know and one that i dont know in real life then i remember a head exploading and water came out of it. the room had a giant pool in it and i looked into it and saw my clothes all in it. (not the close that i was wearing so that was good.) we all jump in and start gathering the clothes. i keept telling myself "were not supposed to be in the pool during the day time". when i got out i heard talking on the other side of the door. i thenbecame instantly partially lucid. i thought, "no we cant get caught in here"! i got scared and said this is my dream and i will not get caught! the talking in the dream stopped and i got excited because i acually controlled something. the excitment woke me up!

day seven

Dont recall any dreams..

DAY 4:Slept for about 9 hours and recalled 3 dreams.2 of them were quite long.Hope that I will be able to maintain this dream recall.

DAY 4 afternoon:Slept for 2 hours from 12pm-2pm.Recalled 1 long dream.
