Idea...

Hi DjMidgetMan,

I was wondering if you had maybe another technique for lucid dreams.

You see, when the alarm rings, it wakes me up so brutally that here is no way I can go back to sleep right away, my heart beating prestty fast.

I am trying to tell myself "tonight I will be conscious in my dreams" but it has not worked yet.

To tell you the truth, my lucid dreams are spontaneous...... But one thing that seems to be common in my lucid dreams is that I become aware only at certain places.... So think of a place that you normally visit in your dreams and tell yourself before you goto sleep that youll be aware if you see or you are in this place...... I suggest you do that for multiple places... Hope it works.....

One thing that I use to become lucid is the way that things don't work quite the same in dreams.  For example, in real life, if you see a bunch of hooligans, it is usually a good policy to leave them alone.  That NEVER works in a dream, does it?  You can feel how "reasonable" actions are starting to turn out badly in a dream, and that should cue you to think, "B.S! why is my reasonable decision turning out so badly? This must be a dream."

One reason that above strategy works so well is that it capitalizes on energy.  What do I mean?  Mostly in dreams you just go along in a kind of daze without a lot of focus to your awareness.  That all changes when something bad starts to happen.  Your pulse races, your breathing accelerates, and your mind focuses.  That's a lot of energy that's available to fuel a light bulb along the lines of "Hey! what's going on? This is working out strangely. I wonder if i'm dreaming.."  You  normally don't think precisely enough while dreaming to make such a logical train of thought.  You do at a tense point in a dream, though. So you should learn to use that energy. I even just become lucid to handle the tough parts of the dream and then go back to regular dreaming.  That's the technique of a lazy guy, for sure.

I just had this idea.... Those of you who have trouble with lucid dreaming, follow this procedure....

1)Put an alarm clock by your bed(*that isnt too loud), and set it to some time in the morning....
2)Before you goto to sleep, tell yourself that you will become aware when you hear that alarm clock....
3)When you hear the alarm clock, you should become conscious at that point....
4)Go IMMEDIATELY back to sleep(if youre not already LDing)... and try to avoid any confusion....


    Try this method.... Tell me if it works....
