Just very incredibly simple way to get deep lucid dreams.

Quest for Lucidity
21

Couldn’t you have put that into a spoiler :grrr:

22

I am so trying this tonight.

23

I did it just for giggles because I figured it would only take about a minute and I ended up having a lucid dream, which is my first one in a few weeks.

24

I need some help with this (the thing that is the easiest LD technique/booster-thingymabob in existance); I can’t seem to find a good way to keep my finger on my nose. Basicaly the last 2 times I did this, I ended up giving up, since I couldn’t get to sleep any way I tried it. Any advice?

25

I’ve tried the technique, had a pretty long and nice dream.
I’d say lucidity 5-10%
Going to do so again tonight.
Oh and by the way, I didnt think this would work, but it did.
It does make us relaxed which helps :razz:

So now I tried this technique properly and had an unusually vivid dream! I got lucid too but I kept it up for only a few secs… I will try this again tonight.

Some of the best dreams come when you’re watching a boring show with a great premise and you fall asleep in the middle and dream the way it should go. Recurring dreams are cool too. You can go through the motions to the same conclusion, or you can change a few scenes. Sometimes I like to tell the bad guys that it’s a dream and i’ll beat them again like I did before. Some of them scoff, some get ticked off so I turn Superman like. That’s my built in fail safe when things get out of hand. Even if I still can’t beat them ,they can’t beat me either.

iwill try it tonught

I like the simplicity of it, and I agree that simple can a lot of the time mean deep truth. I have read about dream yoga before and if this is one of their exercises it seems like it could be worth a try. I wonder what would happen if you did it with the left nostril? :content: Anyways, I like simple exercises like MILD and counting and so I am definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for posting it! I’ll tell you tomorrow if it worked out for me or not!

I will definitely try this technique tonight, from reading everyones reactions it sounds like it works. I asked my mom about it (she was a yoga teacher for 8 years) and she said she had heard of it and it works.

32

I finally remembered to try this last night! problem is I really noticed my “nasal cycle” as my left nostril was very plugged, so it was hard to breathe through it. But I did get some very brief lucidity this morning and a FLD (I skipped class so had some more sleep, which might have helped). Anyway, I’ll try it again. :smile:

33

So last night, before going to bed, I closed my right nostril and breathed deeply through my left nostril with my eyes closed 50 times. I then went to bed. I had around 4-5 dreams and they were all pretty vivid, and in one of them I do think that I asked myself if I was dreaming, but I never became lucid. I am going to give this technique another try though, as I think I am really close to getting a lucid dream again.

This really works like a charm, tried it yesterday and the day before, with one lucid moment and two well-remembered vivid NDs in the latter, and two LDs last night. Though I too believe it´s more the placebo effect, but as long as it helps… :smile: Definitely worth a try for everyone who hasn´t tried yet!

35

I should try this out! I really want to have a LD again! :smile:

36

I am seeing lots of positive reactions in this topic, definitely gonna try this myself tonight! Along with some dream food :smile:

37

I tried this technique again a couple nights ago and it still hasn’t worked for me. A friend of mine said he had a similar experience where he had more vivid dreams but not a lucid dream. I might give this technique one more try… Third time might be the charm… but I am beginning to doubt it.

38

I got THREE pretty long (few minutes) lucid dreams last night with that simply way you described! :content: :hurray:

When lying in bed, I’ve been breathing slowly and deeply with my right nostril closed with a index finger, I didn’t make many breaths (maybe sth about 20), and during breathing I’ve been thinkink that I’d have an LD that night. I thought, to be exact, a mantra “when I’ll be in dream I realize that I’m dreaming, or I woke up before REM cycle to WILD”.
The second part of the sentence worked - I woke up after about 4 and half an hour, change my position to more convenient and try to WILD, and get the sleep paralyses after few second indeed! Then I entered a dream fully concious, been enjoying this LD for a few minutes. Then I suddenly woke up, but I was fully concious so I knew that I must not move to use chaining, and after a while I reentered the dream by DEILD :smile: And when I woke up again I DEILD again :smile:

Thank you very much, I don’t know, if it’s just a coincedence or I succeded because of this breating-focusing method, but I’ll try it again soon! :smile: :clap:

i got my first ld with it :woo:

NO Lucids but I got very clear and vivid NDs with this :smile:
