Dreaming test

Lucid Lounge
1

I am conducting a lucid dreaming test, to find out what it is about someone that cuases them to pick sutch a method.

There are 30 questions (although that only just covers what causes methods to be used). I ask you to answer some of them, it is not nessasary to answer all (but preffered, and I would be grateful). So just answer how ever many suits you.

I appreciate any feedback I get from anyone. The research will hopefuly go towards advising newbie lders towards a more exact method. Although I am unsure what the final product will be, it will also give an insite to what cuases people to chose whatever method.

Please do not be put of by the large amount of questions. Also do not be put off if you do not want to answer, or cannot answer some questions.

1.) For how long do you sleep for, on adverage?

2.) Which Lucid inducing/initiating/incubating method do you use?

3.) Do you ever use WBTB, if so, how often?

8.) Where you open to more disbeliefable things (that could inlude LD), or did you think that such things are fiction?
A: Kind of confused about this. Um. . .I am open to a great many things (is that good enough?)

9.) Do you beleiving other dreaming related, like shared dreaming, astrual projection etc?
A: Yes, yes, yes! (I’m probably TOO open-minded!)

10.) Are you willing to try other dreaming realted out?
A: Uh. . .confused by wording (skip)

11.) Do you work to seek inerpeace, enlightenment or any thing simular?

A: How tired do I feel right now? Hmm. . .? I get tired fairly quickly.

16.) Do you take in a lot of caffine?

A: Nope

18.) Do you use other chemicals to help with lucid dreaming? If so, what?
A: Nada

23.) Are you patient or impatient?
A: I have my impatient moments but am more patient than not. (It’s a hard one to gauge.)

24.) Are you sane? (From what other people have told you)
A: “You’re so vain”–sorry, it just reminded me of that song. I’d say I’m pretty sane. But all the “people” I talk to might be imaginary anyway so how can I trust them?

Factorise these equations (ie, turn them into brackets)
X²+7X+10
X²+3X-10
A: I used to love factoring. Now I don’t know how to finish one measly problem!

30.) How many methods have you atempted to reach an LD?
A: 6

Hope that was helpful for what you’re trying to do. My brain is officially fried! Time to post more from my humor collection. . . :grin:

5

Hehehe I was actually thinking about posting a more or less similar test, though it didn’t cross my mind it could be very helpful to newbie LDers… Excellent idea Technodreamer! :grin:

11.) Do you work to seek inerpeace, enlightenment or any thing simular? yes

12.) Out of 10, how spirtual are you? 9

13.) How spiritual where you before trying LD? 7

16.) Do you take in a lot of caffine? practically nothing

17.) Do you take in caffine before bed? nope

18.) Do you use other chemicals to help with lucid dreaming? If so, what? VERY rarely I use vitamin B6, but frankly this just gives me more vivid dreams; no increase in LD rate. Sometimes I drink ultra strong mint tea but this also seems more placebo than anything else :smile:

19.) How religous are you? hm… I’m no particular religious but I accept every religion as keepers of fundamental truths. I accept them but I don’t actively bind myself to their cults and rites. I prefer the individual quest.

3(Y+1+X)(Y-2) = 3y²-3y+3xy-6x-6

Factorise these equations (ie, turn them into brackets)

8.) Where you open to more disbeliefable things (that could inlude LD), or did you think that such things are fiction?
I am VERY open minded but I can’t answer this coz some things are always gonna be different from others. LDing is completely logical if you think about it…it would be like not believing you can think…or walk. Some things are a lot less logical though…

9.) Do you beleiving other dreaming related, like shared dreaming, astrual projection etc?
I personally will not say I think they do exist. But I will not be so naive as to say they don’t either. No proof. They are all very interesting though…

10.) Are you willing to try other dreaming realted out?
Yes, I have and from my experience a lot of them are just within LDs.

11.) Do you work to seek inerpeace, enlightenment or any thing simular?
Both. And to have fun. And to experiment and discover new things about dreaming.

12.) Out of 10, how spirtual are you?

Sometimes…maybe once a week…

18.) Do you use other chemicals to help with lucid dreaming? If so, what?
None.

19.) How religous are you?

Spelling: Deaf. No I have none.

21.) Do you beleive in choice, freedom and equality? State which ones you do and dont)

Can’t we be both and just see the world as the way it is? Both.

23.) Are you patient or impatient?
Depends in what context…generally patient though.

Not really! Not in a serious way (dont need doctors) but I act silly and things if thats what you mean.

25.) Are you superstitious
Not enough to call my self that.

26.) Do you think placebo effect (For example, throw stones at your neighbors and you will get an ld, not recommened btw)?

Expand the brackets (Don’t have to do these if you dont like them)
(X+1)(X-3)
3(Y+1+X)(Y-2)

I DO NOT LIKE THEM lol. I used to be able to do them but I forgot a LONG time ago and quite deiliberatly…

Factorise these equations (ie, turn them into brackets)

I just do occassional reality checks. I’ve stopped trying quite so hard recently.

3.) Do you ever use WBTB, if so, how often?

I used to do it maybe every 1-2 weeks, but not any more, because I coul never wait long enough for it to work. I suspect this has something to do with my taking longer than average to get to sleep.

4.) What was your atidude towards lucid dreaming, before you started to LD? Is it stupid? Is it a great idea. Is it disbelief?

When I first heard about it from a friend, I thought it was just something imaginary and unprovable, but then I accidently had a lucid dream and so I started looking into it and taking it slightly more seriously.

Mint tea a couple of times a week.

19.) How religous are you?

I’m not specifically religious, and I don’t think I believe that God exists.

20.) Do you have any disabilities that effect the way you see the world? (i.e being death)

Nope.

21.) Do you beleive in choice, freedom and equality? State which ones you do and dont)

Choice - Well, yes. Except when you look at it from a quantum point of view.
Freedom - Insofar as it’s possible to have freedom without ruining another persons freedom, yes.
Equality Certainly.

22.) Are you scientific, or spiritual (or just borring)?

Can I be both? I’m relatively spiritual, but I’m not stupid and I won’t just accept things.

23.) Are you patient or impatient?

Patient with most things, but not all of them (like WILD, apparently).

24.) Are you sane? (From what other people have told you)

Well, I’m certainly weird. And apparently I have obsessive personality disorder, and I think maybe some other stuff… I don’t know.

25.) Are you superstitious

No.

26.) Do you think placebo effect (For example, throw stones at your neighbors and you will get an ld, not recommened btw)?

Uhmm, yes, but only in combination wth something that actually does work on it’s own.

27.) How motivated where you to get LD

Very - at least when I started. probably about 8 out of 10.

28.) Does drinking tea have serious effects (ie. can’t get to sleep), or nothing?

Well I don’t drink any sort of tea except mint tea, and that doesn’t bother me.

29.) Time for a logic test:
Expand the brackets (Don’t have to do these if you dont like them)
(X+1)(X-3)
3(Y+1+X)(Y-2)

Oh dear. Ok…
x^2-2x-3
Uhmmm, we haven’t learnt expansion with more than 2 items yet, but I’ll try this one anyway - 3y^2+3xy+9y+6+6x

Factorise these equations (ie, turn them into brackets)
X²+7X+10
X²+3X-10

Ok, I really don’t know how to do factorisation. But that’s not my fault!

[Edit - after looking at Pedro’s answers I remembered how to do it, but there’s not much point in me doing it now because I’ve seen Pedro’s answers.]

30.) How many methods have you atempted to reach an LD?

Not that many. Reality checks, some WILD and drinking mint tea.

Hope my results were helpful, and that your whatever-it-is-you’re-doing gets finished.

23.) Are you patient or impatient?
patient mostly, depends

24.) Are you sane? (From what other people have told you)
I suppose so

25.) Are you superstitious
I can be very superstitious but at the same time I do like logic. It’s definitely a weekness in me. I use it as a safety thing because I’m always expecting the worst.

26.) Do you think placebo effect (For example, throw stones at your neighbors and you will get an ld, not recommened btw)?
I think placebos work for some and not for others. I’m wondering if those who have success with placebos are people who have no faith in themselves e.g. willing to believe an outside judgement over their own. ???
I was ill with anxiety a few years ago. I literally worried myself ill. One day my doctor convinced me that I’d be ok and I changed completely, almost back to my old self, just for that day. I had more trust in her than I did in myself

27.) How motivated where you to get LD
90%, it changes a lot

28.) Does drinking tea have serious effects (ie. can’t get to sleep), or nothing?
none

29.) Time for a logic test:
Expand the brackets (Don’t have to do these if you dont like them)
(X+1)(X-3)
3(Y+1+X)(Y-2)

Factorise these equations (ie, turn them into brackets)
X²+7X+10
X²+3X-10

30.) How many methods have you atempted to reach an LD?
5, need much more practise yet
