Im sure you have probably heard of it before, where you make an oath on paper to do something, for example lucid dream everynight, and sign it like a contract. Well i decided to do it now, and see if it works.
I wrote it on paper, just a simple ‘i will lucid dream atleast once every 3 days’ signed it at the bottom…in my eyeliner ¬.¬, considering i really didnt want to, so it sort of shows commitment.
So i guess im asking if anyone else has tried this and if it worked? Or thinks it will work? & ill post whether it works for me ofc
Thanks.
Sorry mod if this is in the wrong topic, i could decide which it would fit best.
Well, I started on sunday, and that night had 3 lucid dreams.
And last night I had 2.
(Which is abnormally high for me, im usually around one every 3 nights)
…seems to be working!
Well the first night i MILDed, but think i may have woke up in the middle of the night and had a FILD. Though i was lucid 3 times so… both im sure played apart ^.^
Last night i did the whole ‘stare at your hands thing’, and when i got lucid it was from looking at my hands.
Though i think its me knowing i can get lucid that gets me the LDs more than anything, as before i started the contract i was having 1 LD everynight, with no induction methods. And when i was due one, i just fell asleep with no intention in my head atall, and had one … cause i knew i would.
But along with the contract i made, ive made a timetable of methods to use on different days, to see which work best for me etc.
The RC where you look at your hands. I think that’s what they mean.
This is a good idea, though I doubt it’ll work for me since I’ve only had 3 LD’s Setting a gal for an LD every few months woould be more than an accomplishment for me.
Hey, thanks Kratos =D
& ofc you it will work! Trust me, i wasnt having any whatsoever. But i read about Subconcious & such like, and you can make a contract with your sub-con, and it always works. Also, since i knew i could get lucid, (as i had before a few times) it was just beleiving i could… which i knew was true. No problem really.
Its worked wonders, broke me out of my dry spell. I reckon you should really give it a go =D
@Tele - HILD. Where you spend 10 minutes before sleeping just staring at your hands and repeating that you will realise your dreaming when you see your hands.
Of course.
Let me know how it goes.
& Depending on how much time you normally have you should make a week table of different methods (LD inducing) everyday & from there, you’ll be able to see which has the highest success rate for you, and pursue using that one
I did that, seems FILD & MILD are the best for me. Though the whole sound induced and HILD work too.
hi
in couple of minutes it will by my second night after contract Ill write here tomorrow evening i guess
what about my yesterdays night? yeah, i had ld, but it just got shallow and low ;] like 10-20 seconds of uncontrolled lucidity, but this is some result :razz: better than nothing. Cant remember my NDs from yesterday
hope this night will be cool
say good luck for player 07
peace
Hmm, I could try HILD tonight and see how that goes, and do the contract thing. I’ve been reading about that on other sites. I think I understand it. I never thought about this at all, so thanks for making this thread.
Hey, if it helped you have an LD, then you’re off to a good start. This could work…
Cool, lots of people having a go…great
Everyone make sure to post your results
I would also suggest when making the contract sign it with something special to you, or in a special paper, special pen etc. I signed it in my eyeliner… as i think i mentioned up there, i didnt want to and it showed that i was seriuos about the contract
& make sure your trying it with your ordinary technique
What exactly does your contract say player07? ?:
Have you been using a technique on top btw?
Oh, and you should read your contract before going to bed each night aswell, to keep it fresh in your head
I must say, the last 2 days i havent had any LDs… but i have been following a timetable of different techniques to do each day, so it may be down to that some techniques dont work for me. But im trying to figure out which ones work best for me
To HILD just stare at your hands for an estimated time of 10 minutes [eg no alarm or looking at clock] and whilst looking at them, study them & say aload your mantra, so its a mix of MILD too, i guess.
For example, stare and your hands and repeat ‘when i see these i will realise im dreaming’ over and over.
Let me know how it goes
& I had a strange experience last night. I was attempting MILD, and i think i startedto WILD, but the REM was short as id just layed in bed to sleep, at about 11pm.
But yeh, i was trying to visualise the words, and all my body went numb, and my eyes started twitching uncontrollably really fast, and it felt like i was on a motion roller coaster, my vision rocking back and forward.
But it stopped, considering the REM couldnt have lasted more than a minute that early in my sleep cycle.
What, did the excitement wake you up or something? That kind of thing always happens to me. Every now and then, I’ll realize I’m dreaming and freak out…which wakes me up and makes me mad
I only count the ones I stay in as lucid dreams.
Nah, I haven’t really tried anything for two days. I did do the contract thing though, so hopefully I can have an LD by the end of this month. I’ll try to HILD tonight.
Ill write here tomorrow evening i guess
