When I use MILD + WBTB I use the method LaBerge outlines in EWLD. That is, as I go to sleep I say “I want to wake up from me dream and remember it” and then when I wake up from it then go back to sleep but use a mantra involving recognition of the dream state. Simultaneously, I imagine myself in the dream I was having, seeing a dreamsign and realizing I’m dreaming.
this way is really effective. i highly recommend it.
it’s quite cool how when you tell yourself to wake up at a certain time you usually do. i always set an alarm just in case though.
O, I forgot to mention, I think somebody said it early but remember to set an alarm clock just in case you fail to wake from a dream. I’d say 6 or 7.5 hrs after you go to bed would be ideal.
That must feel pretty frustrating… But I heard once you start dreaming about “talking” to DCs about lucid dreaming et cetera you are very close to actually getting a lucid dream.
Hm well that must be pretty annoying if your brother stopped you from sucessfully doing your WBTB .
Do you go back to sleep straight away? Or do you record the dream in your dream journal first? Or do you actually get up like many of the WBTB instructions recommend?
When I used to dream journal frequently(i just remember too many to bother writing them all down) I would always write down the dream and then maybe get up for 5-10 minutes just to make sure I wasn’t in that groggy state.
