Using writing to get lucid

Yeah, it is a new technique. A new approach to it.

MILD is a too generalised word so it sounds silly to me, those guys saying “That’s just MILD”. That’s like if I thought of the word word “invention” and when someone invents something, no matter how cool/great/whatever it is, I’d just say “Lol, that’s nothing new, that’s just invention”. :wink:
Something like that.

As for this technique, I’m too lazy to be trying something like that. Well, cutting the number to 10, maybe, though.

It’s not exactly mild. It doesn’t follow the formal model for it as described in EWLD. It’s supposed to be A lucid dream induced by the MNEMONIC of visualisation. Wich this technique does not include. It is a form of autosuggestion though. I don’t know if anyone called this a technique on it’s own before, but it’s not unheard of.

KragonV was this the first technique you used? and did you have to practice Dream Recall before it worked properly?

There was a thread for a while (perhaps still is) in one of the topics on this forum, where people wrote that they were going to have an LD that night. So very similar technique. I believe it could work, but…

Now, forgive me if I’m being over suspicious, it’s just that I’ve seen other posts on this forum where people have said they’ve created a new technique that gives them LD’s every night, and it’s turned out they were making it up. I remember one person who said (I think it was meant as a joke) that you just had to wrap foil round your leg every night for guaranteed LD’s.

I’ve heard of natural LDers who have LD’s most nights or sometimes every night, so that is certainly possible. But they also had lots of ND’s. From you saying that you wanted to have some ND’s, it gives me the impression that you’re saying you’re lucid for every dream. I’ve never heard of this before, and it does seem a bit unlikely, from all the theories I’ve heard about dreams I’ve always got the impression that you’re brain needs to have some ND’s to process information.

Also, I can’t imagine getting bored of LDing, not unless you’re bored of life.

But I may be wrong, and I apologise if I am.

I tried the technique last night. It worked. :smile:

(Oh, and I put the paper under my pillow if that counts for anything. :tongue:)

Actually, I attempted this technique for a couple of nights, then I stoped for the next two nights. Last night (I believe the third night after I stopped) I had a very nice LD. All throughout it I was trying to become Lucid Again.

I don’t know if it is this technique or not that gave me this result… but i’m starting to think The 1st of each month is my lucky day lol.

You can see the dream i’m talking about here.

I tried the technique, I wrote it out 50 times (I’m getting desperate) but it didn’t work, I just had a couple of normal dreams but I’ll keep trying.

I’ve been trying this technique for a few days. I’ve never had a lucid dream before so it may take a while. I write it about 30 - 40 times before going to sleep. It seems to be working pretty well. Last night I had a dream about lucid dreaming which I haven’t had for a long time. I’ll tell you if it works.

update: shower before u try this technique

I tend to have trouble focusing my mind when I lay down for sleep, so I’ll give this a try. I’d think that the repetition will make it stand out more clearly in your mind, especially to your subconscious. Sounds like something right up my alley. I’ll be sure to post my results.

Thanks.

Yes, I’ve heard of this technique before, only without writing it so many times. I think that is the part that works very well though, 50 times will really get it to sink in.

I’ll try it and see where it gets me.

Think about when you had to write lines in school. When finished, didn’t that line just keep droning in your head?

Yeah, this should be something like that. And if it is, I fully expect success.

That was a great comparison, Valek! :happy: I don’t think it could have been phrased better. :yes:

I tried this last night and it didn’t work.

Also, the poster may want to try writing “I WILL HAVE A NORMAL DREAM TONIGHT” instead.

You may want to try it for three days in a row. I have personally found that for some reason it can take 3 days before my subconscious absorbs a message. Also, I read something along similar lines in a recent lucid dreaming article I read. Perhaps the subconscious reaches some sort of saturation point and finally relents - either way, I’d try for at least thee days before throwing in the towel.

In a row… oops i did two in a row and then waited a day or two and then did it again. I stopped cuz it hurt my hand.

this technique is pretty awesome! it gave me a LD last night! :grin:

EDIT: also what i do is after each time i right it i do a RC

Edited in double post, please use edit instead of double posting :dragon:

I have a question, I now have something to have a normal dream every night,
so that’s one good thing already but nothing else.

If I use this technique for a couple of days will it work once or more or something?
Because I didn’t used any other technique actually :razz:

things like this usually don’t work with me. But I’ve decided to try it out anyway since it seems to be very simple and doesn’t require me to wake up in the middle of the night. But just to be sure this actually goes into my head I’m going to write closer to 150 lines a day :razz:

50 lines on the computer during the day.
50 lines on the computer 30 minutes before sleep.
50 lines by hand 10 minutes before sleep.

And then repeating it in my head as I fall into sleep.

That should keep it from falling out. I’ll try it for about a week or so.

I’ll try for a couple of days. Is it recommended to do it on paper or a computer? I think I’ll experiment with that a little.
