This might sound really stupid and maybe obnoxious but my question is this:
Is there a way i can DEFINETLY have a lucid dream after doing something constantly all day (RC’s every like 5 minutes or sumthing like that)??
For example…if i do a few RC’s all day tomorrow (like every few minutes) will i have an LD? IS there anything else that can ensure me an LD in a night? I’m SO DESPERATE!!!
I’ve tried so hard for so long to have an LD. Everytime i wake up after a lucid-less night its like i’m angry at myself…but theres no way i can try harder. I don’t think i could want an LD anymore that i already do…and its like >this< close to makin my head combust.
Some people talk of a lucid thirst after your first LD’s…but mine is more like a total lucid malnutrition that i cant change. I SERIOUSLY NEED AN LD… Life’s a bitch sometimes.
First don’t get angry with yourself. For some reason feelings like frustration seem to create barriers to lucid dreaming.
Doing RC every few minutes can help. But do them seriously. Really try and consider the fact that you might be dreaming then prove that you are not.
When you go to bed feel excited about the lucid dream you are going to have tonight and plan it out. As you go to bed use MILD/WILD or whatever technique you like best. Also I like to add WBTS or WBTB as that gives me another chance to practice lucid dreaming.
Some optional stuff:
I find that if I practice meditation or self hypnosis for at least 20 minutes 2 times per day ( once during the day and once at bed time) I greatly improve my chances.
Get yourself a strobe light and timer. Set the timer to turn on the strobe light several times while you are likely to be dreaming. When I did this I set it to go off every ½ hour in the later part of my sleep cycle. ( this works on the same theory as the nova dreamer only it does not cost as much about $30.00)
Anyway none of this will guarantee a lucid dream you just have to stay dedicated and practice.
Milod drops a quarter in the lucid wishing well for you.
Heh. Basicly what happens is while you are in a non-lucid dream the strobe light will go off and this will disrupt your dream in some way. Maybe might mess with the lighting where you are or something. If you remember that you set up a strobe light, this can let you become lucid.
I don’t know if it is possible to do in one day. If you remember one or more dreams a night, that will help a lot. And if you know what you dream about often, that will also help. But I guess doing reality checks very very often might work. Don’t know how effectivly it will carry over in one night. But with this kind of motivation that I’m hearing from you, maybe it will take you less than a week. A week is not long to wait. Heh.
I have never practiced reality checks, and I had my first lucid dream within a week. My lucid dreams kind of happen by accident. After three months or so they dried up, so I am starting to do a dream journal and start practicing reality checks. And three days after I restarted doing my dream journal, I had another lucid dream last night. After three months without one. Heh. Its funny how little things might help like that.
Just keep up the attitude that you want to become lucid and that will help you out a lot. I can tell you probably can think about lucid dreaming for a full day and that helps a lot.
Wow…after posting this last night…things happened. I did’nt LD, but I remembered THREE VIVID DREAMS after sleeping only 5 cycles (7 and a half hours.) (remembereing more than two dreams has only once happened to me in a year.)I only remebered one dream as soon as I woke up…but triggers are all over my surroundings now, and i remebered the two other dreams in crystal clarity within an hour. Everything in my surroundings brings back something else about a dream from either tonight or from the past.
Maybe…just maybe…it’ll all work together this time and i’ll have a vivid, totally lucid, memorable dream. And if not…eh, sometimes vivid recall is a gift in itself .
bigo20003, I think you should be so desperate on it, if you won’t get that LD you’ll be only more frustrated and you’ll lost motivation - and sometimes trying too hard can be bad…
Don’t set a goal of having a LD tonight, it’ll not pay… my advice is to hope for a lucid dream every night, but be prepared to a failure.
You can also have good dream recall or interesting dreams as a goal itself. If you wake up from every ND being angry on yourself, you’re making it harder.
I am not sure I agree with that. I think really thinking positively about it and even having excitement about the lucid dream you are going to have is better than just hoping you will have one. Just hoping you will have a lucid dream sot of implies the possibility of failure. In my experience the more you can give yourself a boost of confidence about it the more likely you are to succeed.
But when someone is failing despite of the effort, such thinking may result in constant frustration… the best thing would be to be sure you’ll have LD tonight, but to be patient after a failure and keep trying, but it’d be hard.
