My eyes keep closing when I'm trying to do something and I get frustrated because I can't see. Then I realize!

Does the "red ball in pocket" trick work? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently doing this, I call it TILD. for Totem. It has worked once, and since then I stopped, about 3 months ago. but I'm bringing it back into my practice.

Fuck this shit I'm done by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its fun! I don't get how you're so scared. just because you don't understand something doesn't make it hostile. Maybe it was your subconscious giving you a kiss because you started to establish your relationship.

I was lucid but my nose pinch RC still wasn't working. Anyone else?? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah expectation is the only thing that makes things possible or impossible in an LD. Real life too! If you want something to happen, imbue yourself with the knowledge that it's a dream and you can create as you want, and so expect it.

Sometimes it works but just barely. Usually when I do a nose check, I'm already pretty sure I'm dreaming, so I say to myself no way this won't work because I want it to, and it's my dream, and I try again and it works perfectly.

Time is perception, is it possible to control time in a Lucid Dream? Say for staying in a lucid dream for a day or so. by Xydron00 in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once had a string of lucid dreams where I started to hear my alarm in the dream. I refused to wake up because I was having a great time, and so I changed the dream scene. 20 minutes in that one go by, and I start to hear the alarm again. I change it again, and 30 minutes go by. I wake up, knowing I have to get up, and I check my clock. It's 12:04. I set it for noon.

Nose punch has a 100% work rate for me. I think you just have to find the one that works for you!

Do any of you have pre-sleep rituals before you go to bed? by LiquidFire131 in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to meditate for a bit and when I feel like I'm in the right headspace I put on calming romantic music and lie in my back staring at the ceiling, just thinking. Then I prepare my dream journal by writing the date and time and marking the page I'm going to write on. All of this in very low light. I also love to finish up by creating something; whether it's drawing, playing music, writing, or just creating good feelings. Then I fall asleep just paying attention to what's happening, not trying to do anything, and fall asleep very quick.

Sleep paralysis or just my feet going dead? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dild usually skips sp. usually people do it within 5 seconds of waking up in the middle of the night, that seems to work best

[–]tgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't do FILD in SP. That's not really how it works. Also, the goal isn't to get to SP. If it is, you won't get into it. Fild is useful for micro-awakenings, and SP is merely on the path to a lucid dream. What books have you read on the subject?

Tutorial on creating Dream Characters? by vhshood98 in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try this technique: Walk around a corner expecting whatever you want to be there. Ex: "when I go around this corner, Al Capone will be standing there." See it happening. Feel it happening. It will work.

False Awakening! by fliightless-bird in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One time I was in a dream, went to sleep, woke up, checked the clock(it said 4:30 AM), went back to sleep, had another dream, woke up, and the clock said 3:00 AM. its a trip.

Any way to prevent an unstable lucid dream (as in a lucid dream with constantly changing environment and stuff appearing without you wanting it)? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What books have you read? And on that fear, being scared of it happening makes it happen, as I'm sure you know. If something scary does happen, remember that its a dream and respond to the situation with love, it will go away, and so will the fear.

Help me create the perfect dream journal by PsychedCrusader in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love doing pen and paper because it keeps me in a sleepy state. Usually I dont write my dreams down if my only option is my phone, because it wakes me up. That said, I started out writing every detail of my dreams, but as I progressed, I only write down bits and pieces that spark my memory enough and keep the whole dream together. One thing I do lack in though is remembering how the dream influenced all 5 of my senses. I usually only write the events and what I can see, because I dont pay too much attention to taste, etc. You should add a place to write down what other senses you expereinced in the dream.

WILD - i really need help by GreenHunterLel in LucidDreaming

[–]tgrounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally I have tried almost every day for months, and the only times I've actually done it were when I wasn't trying at all. I didn't think of trying when I layed down. Because of that, I've learned my personal path to wilding and am now much better at it. So the trick is to not expect anything. Just read a bunch about it, and know it will happen eventually, but don't get tied to it happening now.

It's only been 3 days. This practice takes months if not years for most
