Ruined my Chances

Along time ago I tried the contract method and very stupidly I added if I didnt have a lucid dream that night I wouldnt be able to drink pop for a week (I love pop :razz:) and I also wrote if I drank pop within that week I wouldnt ever be able to have a lucid dream again… is there any way to make my brain forget about the contract or something? Because telling yourself to forget something is not going to work since your Brain doesnt work in Negatives.

I really want to have a lucid dream but I dont think I ever will now unless any of you have any method that can help me

I always break promises to myself. The great thing about it is that I don’t have anyone to answer to but me, it’s not like I let anyone down so I feel completely justified in doing so.

I think that what you did was create a double negative. It’s like telling yourself to not wake up while you’re asleep, you almost always will if you do. Maybe you should add a clause to the contract nullifying your previous statement and instead promise you won’t drink pop for a week if you do have one. Balance it out a bit so you aren’t slugged so hard if you do fail, in other words ease up a bit.

If that fails there are always different techniques you could try :content:

Don’t add any room in failure for what you tell yourself! Say, “I’m going to have a lucid dream” and have no other option…that way if you don’t, there’s no punishment, but it certainly seems to raise your chances.
