i think this is the best result 
and seems like i revived this thread 
I knew it, i have 5 As and 5 Bs, so Iām neither E nor Pā¦
I should have already known as I realized that some of the questions were not easy to answer for me and I wished to select a āCā ^^
EDIT: OMG, did not log in a lot of timeā¦ and from my signature I see I had more lucid dreams in the first two months of 2006 than I had this whole year 2007!! 
Im an E and a P, Auto suggestion works fine for me, and i also, 90% of my LDās were DILD s and i used DS. so i donāt rely on auto suggestion but this is still cool.
I havenāt been around in a while, but as the topic has been raised from the dead I thought Iād come clarify some things.
E and P stand for āemotionalā and āphysical,ā but if youāre an E it doesnāt mean youāre more or less emotional than a P. The names are derived from something else.
If youāre a P, you take direct literal suggestions. Ps tend to take things literally, and talk more figuratively with metaphors and implied statements.
An E listens for the hidden meaning behind a statement, taking it not at face value but looking for what it āreallyā means, while they tend to speak more directly and literally.
The two types account for a lot of miscommunication. Take the broadest of examples: āHey, wanna go grab lunch?ā The P thinks āooh, Iām hungry. Yes!ā the E thinks āhmm, this person wants to spend time with me. They must like me!ā
So for a P literal suggestions work because the P takes them literally. An E will take something like āI will lucid dream tonightā and interpret it perhaps as really meaning āI want to lucid dream tonight, I hope I do!ā which isnāt a strong suggestion to them.
So, for an E, a statement like āI will remember my lucid dreams in the morningā has an implied fact: that they will have lucid dreams to remember. Meanwhile, a P might think ābut what if I donāt have any?ā
Some more implied suggestions (and visualize these too):
āI will be more lucid than usual tonightā (implying you are usually quite lucid!)
āI love when I have lucid dreams.ā (not IF I have, WHEN I have.)
āAfter I become lucid, I willā¦ā
āI will write down and remember my LDs in the morningā
āI canāt wait to tell X about the lucid dream Iāll have tonightā
I hope this helps clear things up a little! Also, I know some of you are on the fence with this one. Part of it is that itās hard to concretely test these things with a multiple choice test! The original test is not online and Iām not sure how legal it would be for me to upload it. People who are truly in the middle are called āsomnambulistsā (yeah I know) and are open to both types of suggestions, so try one type one night and the other the next and see how many LDs you have.
Hereās an experiment in implied mildingā¦
āI will become lucid, I will become lucid a second time, I will become lucid a third time, I will become lucid a fourth time, I will become lucid a fifth timeā¦ā
Because each number implies and reinforces the earlier ones. Much cooler than counting yourself to sleep!

Thank you Vi for your explanations. 
My question has been lost amidst bunches of new posts, so I ask it again: I wanted to translate this quite literaly on the french forum (and of course Iāll say that the original post was written by you). Please may I?
This is off-topic but I just started to study French this year in school!
Sorry I lost your question! Of course you may. Good luck to the French speaking dreamers!
Thank you again Vi. And good luck with your french lessons kT4all. 
Iām equal. 5-5 
So I could use both, right? I tried the normal suggestions, but no LDās so far. (But Iāve only tried MILD for 3 days now) xD
Somehow I like the E suggestions more than the P ones. Maybe I should try P tonight
Iām an E. hope this works 4 me, gonna give it a try tonight! 
I guess I found this old topic. This is a very interesting thread. Took the test, turns out Iām a P, 9 to 1. I have had most success when i use the more direct suggestions, but Iāve never paid too much attention to how I word them and tend to use a different sentence each night I try. Thanks for posting this info Vi!
Iām a 7:3 E. My success has come mostly from WILD + Counting. MILD has never really worked for me as I just forget what Iām saying to myself and go to sleep. When I WILD, I only say things to myself when necessary.
I scored 6/4 Emotional on this test.
After that I went and searched for the longer original test and scored 47% literal and 53% inferential.
According to that one Iām highly suggestible (which I think is true, knowing myself) without any real emphasis on either kind. Guess Iāll try out both for a while, starting with the emotional kind since there seems to be a slight preference for that 
Edit: 02-11-2007
Couldnāt be bothered to remember the longer, more complicated sentences for the E type so I went with the P suggestions instead. Up until now I hadnāt really tried any sort of MILD before.
I had a dream and at some point in the dream I had an argument with a friendās mother and we said some pretty harsh things against each other, which made me feel weird. After the argument (I slammed a door behind me), I literally told my friend to wait because I wanted to do an RC. I always do the nose RC and it failed (or worked, whatever, in any case: I knew I was dreaming). But then I instantly woke up. Not because of excitement or anything. I had barely completed the RC and I woke up immediately. I must have been sleeping very lightly because thatās never happened to me before lol
But glad to see that at least P suggestions seem to work for me. This puts my Lucid count at 7, though Iāve only really had one long LD three weeks ago.
As an example, Iāve been recently using short E type suggestions like āitās easy to realize that one is dreamingā (not exactly this sentence, but itās the nearest to the meaning of the french one) with some success.
Iām P (7-3), and i found out before this guide that i really should focus on the idea of getting lucid only (for various reasons), but it would seem silly to me from time to time; now i know Iām on the right track, so thanks a bunch! ^^
Lol, a lot of time have passed since the las post. I will revive it againā¦
Ok, so Im E by far (8-2).
I strated my lucidity quest 3 months ago, when the dreams cathed my interest and I started some research. I read the LaBergeās book EWLD, and MILD catched my attention, but It didnāt worked (I used direct autosuggestions) and then when I noticed that a WILD give you the best lucid dreams, I have tried it for a while with no success.
And now, after reading this post, I think that I will give the MILD another chance. And if it works, I will stay with it for a little and then go along with WILD.
The indirect autosuggestions seems really interesting for me, and make a lot of more senseā¦ I will try it tonight and then I will post my results tomorrow.
Here is what Iām going to do:
-Right now its 12:00 midnight in MĆ©xico. I will go to sleep right now using autosuggestion until I fall asleep. (Mantra: I will write down and remember my LD in the morning)
-I will put my alarm clock at 4:30 AM (I have to wake up at 6:30 for school).
Get up, bathroom, drink some water, write down my LD and then mild with āEā autosuggestion. (Mantra: I canāt wait to tell Chost (a friendā¦) about the lucid dream I will have today)
I will post my results tomorrow. I would love some advice.
Direct experiencing always helps, and you can supply it while awake with your imagination (cause thatās what dreams are afterall ). Itās also an official part of MILD, remembering what dreams you had before, then seeing yourself becoming lucid in them by any preferred means, and then just letting your imagination flow, doing the the things you planned to do in your LDās. Itās great aid to your suggestions 
and I suggest you to do it before the affirmations, in order to get a better idea of what youāre referring to.
Good luck! And sweet dreaming ^^
I was having trouble auto-suggesting and then I came across this thread, which made me excited. But after completing that test, I got 5-5. Oh well, Iāll try both types auto-suggestions.
Thank you tosxy.
I remember that I lied in my bed yesterday night and then I waked up todayās morningā¦ I was really tiredā¦
I will try again tonight but remembering dreams. I will post tomorrow my results.
Thats fine but try to donāt do it the same day.
Doing P type for 3 days and then E type for 3 days may be the best, but you can try one each day. Just donāt mix them together
