I just read almost all ld4all sections and I just can’t understand what MILD is all about… It seems to be hard to me, or maybe I’m just doing something wrong. I thought that I’ll let myself fall asleep ‘a little’, stop on that, erm… level and just don’t go deeper into sleep.
So i tried to don’t loose consciousness. I felt like it takes plenty of time, but I finally heard some wired sounds like knocking or something like that… but it was also taking a lot of time, so i felt a little nervous and finally just waked up .
All my LD’s seems to be WILD and i never tried any other methods before that one unsucessfull MILD try. Am I doing something wrong?
so I have to let myself fall asleep completely?
but i just don’t remember my ND’s at all… .
I’m closing my eyes and do WILD or just letting myself fall asleep and don’t dream at all.
OK first thing first : maybe you should try to obtain some decent DR before you try any techniques.
You do dream, as much as anyone else. Try to write down your dreams in the mornig before you do anything else, note every little detail you can remember of. After a few weeks, you should have a better DR.
MILD is not just repeating to yourself that you’ll have an LD when you’ll be asleep. You could call it to remember the future, you have to put real meaning into the words and be 100% confident that you will remember to recognise that you are dreaming. I read somewhere from some clever guy that you could take a trip to the supermarket for example. When you are at home you are memorising all the things you will have to buy when you get to the supermarket but on the way to it you are thinking something completely else. Then when you get to the shop you remember to recall everything you were going to buy. When you are at home, trying to memorise all the things you will have to buy could be when you are awake telling yourself that you’ll remember to recognise your dream and on your way to the shop is the normal dream going on and when you get to the store and memorise the things you were going to buy is where you become lucid in a dream
would the kind of person who can listen in class (if you’re in school) and take a little bit of notes then ace the test/exam without studying be good at MILD? thats what it sounds like.
i cant remember much about stuff from my classes all the time, but during a test it all comes back. how would i get that to happen for LDing?
same way you got stuff from your classes. autosuggestions. you wouldnt have had classwork in your subconcious unless an element of you was asking for it to be there. (although that element could be subconcious too, which might explain if you can’t understand why that happens)
either way, try autosuggestion. when you’re in class, autosuggest as much as you can. hopefully your autosuggestions, due to set and setting, might be integrated into your subconcious a bit easier. (ie use the ‘moments’ as a vessel to sneak your message in)
the MILD != autosuggestion thingy is kinda unclear for most of the new guys i think, most of them think MILD is actually just repeating the “tonight i will have a LD” (thats the way i thought of it when i started 2)
MILD is much better than autosuggestion cuz u actively combine memories and an intension.
Like for instance my TV runs like all day and when im playing PC games as well. Sometimes even years later when i see a TV show i can perfectly remember the situation and the GAME (and the mission ^^) i was playing the day i watched that show. So its perfectly linked to the other event.
That’s the trick MILD does, your target is to link common stuff (like certain actions/images/emotions) with the intension to consider being dreaming. Then everytime you experience that situation your subc. will lead you, for instance, to and RC
You see its a great tech in theory, and once its working properly im sure its the ultimative ‘weapon’ to get LDs at will (im still working on it, thats why i cant tell you more )
When you do MILD and aware , the next thing you know you are in a full-blown lucid dream … Aware that you are dreaming the first step you do in your dream.
At least thats what it does to me. But its not working every time and its usually hard to master.
abslolutely. I would just do a RC often when you are playing computer games and when you try MILD you should tell yourself that the next time you find yourself in a videogame scene you will recognise that you are dreaming and than visualize yourself becoming lucid in a dream by that dreamsign
hehe, thats definitively a dream sign! and kind a good one (since its very specific)
As svavarg said many RCs while playing video games should really help to recognize your dream state the next time. Its just important that u dont just like look at your hands for say 2 seconds, then think like “they’re notmal” and return to the game. And thats the problematic thingy, since u cant just turn away from the game randomly. It’s just a matter of “how you do it”
