The Goods and The Bads (for me)

Quest for Lucidity
1

I have been trying to see what techniques work the best for me. Here’s what I have so far. I will keep updating this post when I try out other things. If you could give me tips on each of these to “tweak” them that would be wonderful. :smile:

The reason I have to retry everything again is because after moving, lucid dreaming kind of just slipped my mind, and I forgot all about it, thus destroying my progress and dream recall. :bored:

  • WILD: no (I tried this once or twice, but I cannot stand staying still, this is not the technique for me :razz:)
  • MILD: Yes!! (this is the best of all of them, it works incredibly well)
  • WBTB: no (This surprised me alot, because about half a year ago, this was one of my bests. I always used this. What I tried with WBTB:
    Waking up after 5-6 hours of sleep, and staying up for about 20 minutes with a repetitive MILD, which is “Do a reality check, I am lucid dreaming.” (<— Is this good or not?). I couldn’t fall back asleep and I ended up being away for another hour and a half. I fell asleep without repeating my mantra. I ended up with no dreams at all. My second try was to again, wake up after 5-6 hours of sleep and just use the bathroom, get a drink, and get straight back into bed, with the mantra. I fell asleep to the mantra, but I had no dreams at all, yet again.

So, any other techniques that you prefer to use? Can the techniques I already use be “tweaked”?

Thanks

Hey 4therace!! i agree with you for your choices, even if i actually didn’t do any lucid dreams i tried almost all the techniques and studied them and for me the one that works the best is the DILD … The one with the dream journal and reality checks but everyone is different and everyone has his own technique for Lucid Dream so yea! Now im combining many techniques together and see what happens :happy:
Have nice dreams !

I would persevere with this. It did work very well in the past and it will again. Just a matter of getting the timing right. for the WBTB, amount of time awake and the amount of sleep afterwards.
