How to Choose Your Technique

wheres R’lyeh island located? sounds like a crazy place lol

LOL ! In South Pacific, according to H.P. Lovecraft. :content:

I have been practicing the MILD method at night and while I do that I start slipping away on focusing on to get a lucid dream :grrr:

What do I do? :confused:

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 :help: i can get. By the way how do i get an avatar?

Hi Titan, welcome to the forum.

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 a lot!

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.

Wow this guy is pretty useful, I shall read it again from time to time.

Hey thanks for creating this guide. It really helps out and know I know some techniques for Lucid Dreaming! :ok:

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 :smile:

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. :wink:

Man thats an awesome guide …i hope this is going to induce my first LD. :cool_laugh:
Hopefully all the inexperienced get to read this guide :content:
Great work :cool:

Great guide man its a must-read for LD fan.

thx for compacting all that info into one easy to read post. It gets me excited to start trying to trying to stimulate my own LD’s :cool_laugh:

Nice little article :smile:

Just one question though, how you do know if you fall asleep fast or slow ? I mean, I don’t take an hour to fall asleep, but I’m not like my dad who can fall asleep within two minutes (seriously !).

I normally fall asleep within five to ten minutes, depending on how sleepy I am and the amount of distraction around me (noises coming from outside or other rooms in the house, light suddenly shining in my room, etc). But is that fast or slow ? :smile:

That’s pretty fast, JPeetje. I wouldn’t consider you slow to fall asleep, especially considering the fact that I often take between 30 and 45 minutes to fall asleep, except for when I’m really tired.

A truely excellent guide. I’d say I fall under “high motivation, takes a long time to fall asleep” so I’m going to focus on MILD. It usually takes me an hour - an hour.5 to fall asleep but I am highly motivated.

Although since I’m new at this I should probably try out other techniques at the same time.

I love the guide. Thank you. I’d be a fast/high motivated. I hate it when I fall asleep before I relize. I’m going to try your teqnique. Thanks again!

Hey GREAT guide man! I am pretty much a noob and am incredibly greatful somebody answerd a question I had for some time with such great detail and intuitive-ness! Thanx!
