why this over autosuggestion, especially talking to the subconscious about what you want (proper language being HAVE) while dozing off to bed, waking up from dreams, etc?
i’ve tried sigils before, not entirely too seriously, but i think a more interesting way is to use each night’s sleep as a chance to program reality.
Good question, holyreality. For starters, Sigils require creativity, visualization, and much more effort than Auto. I think the sheer “magic” of the designs themselves could inspire a LD. It’s just more fun and in my opinion more effective. Who said you couldn’t use both simultaneously, anyway? Sigils make for a great standalone or supplementary LD method, and I think that versatility always helps.
W00t! Just had a really long Sigil LD with high lucidity! My first good LD in my whole life! Eat that, WILD!
To answer your Q holy reality, when it comes to Sigils vs Autosuggestion in matters besides Lucid Dreaming, I still think that the messages to your Subconscious are a bit stronger with Sigils because of the creation process. They both work fine, heck they even work good when used together, but I still have a gut feeling that Sigils are better.
Another inquiry then about manifestation, what of prayer? I think it could be the most powerful of all if someone has deep faith in who they are praying to (whomever they wish including their own self).
I know because all the really powerful manifestations are happening to a devout Christian I know, and she and others are basically living jobless via prayer manifestations. It is quite remarkable.
edit: I have crafted a mantra using the sigil technique which I will try for MILD.
My will is that it will very quickly bring me into the dreamstate upon falling asleep, rather than dozing off with the potential to lose consciousness, but I more or less practice MILD / WILD every night and generally am lucid every night that I really want to be.
Yes, holy reality. Some people use the Sigil process to create mantras, and they work as well.
Now prayer is really just using intention, belief, and a little delusion to get your desires. But you don’t see any Prayer-Induced Lucid Dreams, do you?
Better than the crazy God in the Christian Old Testament. That dude was whack! Flooding the earth, plagues, that guy should’ve been fired a long time ago. He must have connections.
A question ~~ when crossing out repeated letters, do you leave the first letter and cross out all the remaining repeated letters, or cross out the orignial too. For example, I WILL LUCID DREAM, do you cross out the i in lucid or both the first I and also the i in lucid??
