The mighty power of writing "Am I Dreaming?"

Alright, I’ve written “Am I dreaming?” during this evening, and done RC’s during the day. I’ll try combining it with WBTB, and I’ll hopefully post some good results tomorrow. :smile:

I have a good feeling that would work. WBTB is very helpful and in combination with this how can you go wrong.

No results, I remembered one of my dreams.I overslept, so I may’ve had some good dreams, I had to rush to school. I’ll try again tonight- keep doing RC’s and writing before sleeping.

It’s important that you practice Lucid Dreaming during a calm period in your life - if things get in your way they will only mean your mind is on the wrong subject and cause you to not achieve any Lucid Dreams. When this happens it only lowers your confidence which is essential for Lucid Dreaming to work (this is what i’ve learnt from my lucid experiences).

As for me n this technique… i’m going to write my lines just now n go to sleep :smile: - i’ve been slacking off the last few days.

agreed… when I don’t have any homework… it helps alot

The only problem I have with it is, I value my paper. I don’t want to waste paperspace where I could be writing down dreams. I don’t have closets full of paper you know.
I think that typing may work but there is something about using your hand to form each letter.
I have found a solution though. You won’t get that satisfaction you get from creating something physically, like a paper full of text. But you get to do the same amount of work, and more.

I happen to have a drawing pad for my computer so I can write by hand. I could use a drawing program to write in, but I think that it would take up too much space in the drawing area. Here’s the fun part.

I think I’ll download Flash again. That is the animation program. And there you can easily make as many empty keyframes you want. Bam! You can just animate the text frame by frame.

You’ll get to write your lines and you can at the same time mess around and practise animation. And it doesn’t take up any space or paper.

genius. only flash costs money as far as I know and no one I know has a tablet I can borrow. DAMN IT!!

Well tell us how it goes, if you try it, Krakatoa.

I have a computer tablet too… it’s a wacom tablet and I love it. I recommend it to anyone it becomes really useful.

This method works very well, (I’ve tried it in the past,) but truth be told it’s gets very boring really quickly so I stopped after 2 weeks and came up with my own method that works even better and it’s also easier, (I’ve written it down several times on this site, don’t feel like doing it again right now.) But, a lot of hectic things have been happening lately and I’ve sadly neglected it. (It takes about five minutes of my intense concentration but my brain’s been fried, laughs) So what I’ve been doing instead is the “try-to-poke-your-finger-through-your-hand” reality check but when ever I do it I carefully examine my hands and say, “Am I dreaming? Is this real? Or is it a dream? Is this setting that I’m in right now a normal one?” . And that works just as well as anything else I’ve tried. I’ve found that I can get just about any method to work if I’m entirely focused on it, doesn’t matter what it is, you just have to believe in yourself, and that what you’re doing will work because if you believe that with all of your heart that’s exactly what will happen. :content:

I think it could work without the tablet, that is, with the mouse. How you get around the problem of Flash costing money… There is always the “trial” version.

I think i’ll start tonight.

whats battenburg?

It worked again! Friday night I had a LD with it.

I was very tired when I went to bed but I thought I give this a shoot again. I wrote nearly 50 times “Am I dreaming?” and did a couple of RC´s along with it. I had a two very vivid and long ND´s. In the early morning hours ( I didn´t record the exact time ) I had again a cool ND. I talked to Spiderman and got lucid :happy: after our little conversation ( no RC ). Sadly the LD was not so long. :cry:

I tried this two times and got some nice ND´s and two LD´s with it. I think these are some good results…

I think that’s partly why it works. You are exercising your willpower to have a lucid dream. Maybe the reverse is true, people who do it already have a strong will, which is why it works for them. Either way, I’m going to try it.

Seems like a very successful tecnique. I’m going to try this tonight in my WBTB period and post my results tommorow.

since May 4th, I tried that trick, to write “Am I dreaming?” 30, 45 or 60 times, and doing RC while writting. Out of these 10-11 days, I missed 2-3 (did not write the sentence).

Until last night, I did not see any effect. Last night, I didn’t get lucid, but I was writting words on a sheet. From there, I guess I could have been more careful and see the letters or drawing changing…

Is it how this method is suppose to work:

To write stuff in your dream and then notice it’s a dream, or it automaticaly triggers a LD without writting anything in the dream??

Gonna try this tonight :slight_smile:

I’ll try it out. This technique sound like it’ll really work. :clap:

I Believe it is like autosuggestion, without having to concentrate too much on keeping all other thoughts away. You can write anything associated with dreams and it’ll propably help, I think. Just write it many times. I, myself, have been having most success with I Remember (or Know) My Dreams. The Dreaming seems to get more vivid whenever I remember to write this at evening.

Hey guys,i read somewhere,that if you write somethign 1000 times,it goes definately into your subconcious,try it.
