Each night I wear a bracelet on the pressure point, I have around 4 dreams and I can remember all of them every night. I'm just too lazy to write them all down right away so later on when I actually go to write them down I can only remember 2 of them. But this is pretty interesting.
Last night summed up:
I kept the incredibly uncomfortable bracelet on for several hours of sleep, then removed it because it was so uncomfortable. And then I had a small lucid, that lasted for 3 seconds because I forgot to stabilize it. So basically I had a lucid, but after I removed the bracelet from my wrist. I don't think this helps much, it's just annoying to keep it on. I'd rather get lucids the traditional way (vanilla dild/wild) without having to suffer from the bracelet.
Failed for me, made my recall really bad too
so anyone had this worked ?
only in ur dreams xD
I have tried this on several nights out of curiosity and have experienced very vivid dreams.
I don't like wearing the band though, and I wouldn't want to wear it for the rest of my dreaming life!
Pretty interesting results however, and I'm sure some clever soul will come up with a great alternative!
Well, I tried this last night, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Then again, my recall for the last few weeks has been shit, and I don't think the block was tight enough on my wrist, so you can't go by me alone. Based on the responses in this thread, though, this technique seems to have great potential. eicca, with your permission, I'd like to start up an experiment where volunteers record their experiences with using this technique to see if there is any correlation between its use and LD frequency and/or general recall. Of course, I'd keep that in a separate thread and leave this one to feedback. I'll definitely keep trying this, as I think it can work if done right.
Sorry for late reply. I didn't Lucid dream, however I can back up the people who stated having vivd dreams. I've never felt the bounds of reality and the dreamworld feel so in tune, wow!
I dreamt I was the admiral of a 6th fleet, it felt so epic. I can still remember how I felt commanding the ship :cheeky:
I made a new bracelet yesterday, using a 1" x 1" square of corrugated cardboard this time, instead of cereal-box cardboard. This may have contributed to the lucid dream I had last night, but I can't be sure because I also did several other things to induce one (see notes at the end of my latest DJ entry for details). Sorry for being so unscientific.
Well I've had 4 lucids with this, and I'm certain that it's the bracelet. When I wear it and don't have a lucid, it's because it's slid up my fore arm, or flip over. But when ever it's in place in the morning, I've had a lucid. I just need to find a good way to keep it in place.
Well, could get into more details of what you're bracelet's made of, and if you can feel in your dream and if it's that feeling that induces the lucidness?Quote:

I've started a new thread with the experiment I described in my last post. It can be found here - http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/incept...elcome-105554/
Eicca, since you didn't come up with the technique I'm going to assume you don't mind a little scientific curiosity going on with it. If I'm wrong, PLEASE let me know and I'll stop the experiment immediately. Otherwise, anyone who wants to participate is welcome to head over to that thread and get started!
Go right ahead. I'm really interested in figuring out why this works :)Quote:

will try tonight. thanks!
Placebo or not, who really cares? I'll sleep with a penny on my forehead if I thought it would help.
@ A dreamer168.. If I find my watch I'll try it that way.
I don't know how this works for you guys. And if you read about this being a placebo effect, then it isn't truly a placebo, hence you know that it doesn't actually do anything?
tried it, but i woke up several times to find it fell off. will try again
It's magical. Not logical.Quote:

Does this work for you? The technique I mean. Any success?Quote:
