LUCIDITY IS JUST A FORM OF SELF HYPNOSIS

I think lucidity is a form of self hypnosis , im pretty sure any hypnosis person could say the same , and how could you possible know if your under hypnosis.??? Big question. Iv been asking myself from time to time when i saw a dvd in a shop ( how to become a lucid dreamer) after reading the dvd i was instantly sceptic, just thought id throw that one around the forum??

Well I would be sceptical of any DVD or materials that involve the exchange of money and guaranteed LDs.

As for your question about MILD if you read the MILD FAQ ( link ld4all.com/forum/viewtopic.p … 436#489436 ) you will see

MILD stands for Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreams or Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams. It was developed by Stephen LaBerge of the Lucidity Institute. It involves repeating a mantra over and over in your head to make it come true. It is used to improve dream recall or to induce lucid dreams.

So the slight hypnosis affect would only be related to the method and not the lucidity itself.

Also if you claim lucidity is self hypnosis based how would you explain the spontaneous LDs?
