Thread: Transition explanation?

So far I've mainly been using the DILD technique. However, I didn't have any recurring dream signs, so for me "practising the DILD technique" is nothing more than "going to sleep, hoping that maybe tonight I'll have a lucid dream".

I've also been using Puffin's Sporadic Awareness Technique for a while, but kept slacking too much and eventually forgot about it. My dreams did get a lot more vivid when I was trying this technique though.

Over the last few nights I was visualizing something as I was lying in bed trying to sleep. Every time, I dreamt of whatever it was I was visualizing that night. So now I'm mainly going to focus on the MILD technique for a while. I tried this before by focusing on lucid dreaming as I was falling asleep, but this only resulted in lucid dreaming being mentioned in my dreams in one way or another. I didn't actually become lucid in those dreams.

The WILD technique is usually recommended for experienced lucid dreamers, so I haven't attempted it yet. I plan to try WILDing when I have regular lucid dreams though.

Also, I've recently ordered Stephen Laberge's book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming", which I read at night to set my mind to lucid dreaming before falling asleep. I believe this will also help me attain lucidity faster.
