Still here, I’m just not much of a chatter. It might take a me a few weeks… a month… to respond to a post. I’m a little better when it comes to checking my email, though.
I even can be reached by AIM/ Yahoo Instant messanger (I use trillian), but I never seem to remember to turn it on when I access the Internet.
sigh
I’ve been trying to LD for the past couple of nights, but it’s really hard…
I am quite motivated when I’m awake, and I always write in my DJ quite gladly, but when I’m about to sleep it’s SO hard to focus on any of the techniques… I just drift off to sleep without even realising!
Two nights are a little bit short to expect results ! When you’re well awake and motivated, choose the technique that you’ll practise the following nights. Before you go to bed, motivate yourself to practise this technique. If you’re falling asleep very quickly, choose a simple technique, like auto-suggestion (for instance, repeating yourself mentally “This night, I’ll realize I’m dreaming”, until you fall asleep).
Good luck in your LD quest !
Simple, keep focussed, and practise makes perfect. Don’t abandon a certain technique after 3 tries because it gave no results or seemed hard to do (which is something very common). Good luck with it!
I am new here, your post about techinques and advice kind of works but than again i have no idea what i am doing. I just heard about this site and dont really know what to do. I know about all the techinques and rc’s. I think MILD will work for me. But that said i need all the i can get. By the way how do i get an avatar?
Seems to me that you should just start using the MILD technique, perhaps combined with WBTB if you have enough time for it, and see what it gets you. If you want an avatar, you have to upload one somewhere and link it in your profile, or chose one from the presets there.
thanks im a high motivated/slow sleeper but whenever i wake up at 4 in the morning i want to do nothin but go back to sleep so i think wbtb would be good for me too.
Great guide. i hope it works
But a small question…
if u see a movie that u like and want to live… what do u do thendo u use some cind of WILD or WBTB then mixing them like laying down and seeing the movie (in ur head) while saying (in ur head) I’m dreaming-I’m … (name of a thing/charackter in the movie that u want to be…) is that going to work?..’'im not so experienced
Well you could become lucid first and THEN go to your movie scene. Doing the WILD/WBTB techs could probably make you dream about them, but you’d have to make sure to realize the fact that it was a dream though. RC as much as possible and it ought to go a bit smoother.
