Hey everyone! π
If you're looking to enhance your lucid dreaming skills, this is the place to be. I wanted to share a few popular techniques that have helped many achieve consistent lucid dreams. Try them out, and feel free to share your experience or ask questions!
Reality Checks π€
Throughout the day, ask yourself, "Am I dreaming?" Do things like trying to push your finger through your palm, checking mirrors, or reading text twice. These checks can carry over into your dreams, helping you realize you're dreaming!
Dream Journaling π
Keeping a dream journal is a great way to increase dream recall. Write down your dreams immediately upon waking. Over time, you'll notice patterns that can trigger lucidity.
MILD Technique (Mnemonic Induction) π§
Before falling asleep, repeat to yourself: "I will realize Iβm dreaming." This affirmation helps prime your mind to recognize a dream while it's happening.
WILD Technique (Wake-Induced) π€
A more advanced method, WILD involves staying conscious while your body falls asleep. It's tricky but can lead to vivid, controlled lucid dreams. Relax and let your body fall into sleep while keeping your mind awake.
WBTB (Wake Back to Bed) β°
Set an alarm 5β6 hours after you fall asleep. Wake up, stay up for about 30 minutes, and go back to sleep while focusing on lucid dreaming. Itβs a great combo with MILD.
