The "Inception" Technique - Tried and True

**rajofthenee** · 10-17-2010 06:20 PM

ive been tryin this wit my watch instead of cardboard for a while, an dis tech has been givin me mad vivid dreams. havent gotten lucid from dis, but still mad vivid

**iDreambig** · 10-17-2010 06:23 PM

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.

**Orkel** · 10-17-2010 08:50 PM

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

**Karlitaki** · 10-18-2010 06:52 AM

so anyone had this worked ?

only in ur dreams xD

**Watchman** · 10-18-2010 04:02 PM

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

**Emiko** · 10-18-2010 09:45 PM

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.

**mcguinnessdr** · 10-18-2010 11:37 PM

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?
Thanks

I used this last night with cardboard off a shoebox. and tape. It didn't get me any lucid but I had much more vivid dreams!

**Schmitty the Programmer** · 10-20-2010 11:47 PM

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

**roy13161** · 10-21-2010 04:09 AM

im going to give this a try. i'll post if i see any results. im using a shoestring and cardboard. i'll try some other kind of wrist band if this doesnt work

**onyxfyre** · 10-21-2010 04:37 AM

will try tonight. thanks!

**onironot** · 10-21-2010 05:42 AM

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.

**brettWp** · 10-21-2010 06:15 AM

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?

**onyxfyre** · 10-22-2010 04:25 AM

tried it, but i woke up several times to find it fell off. will try again

It's magical. Not logical.

Lucid dreaming is a science and a logical, factual thing. No magic involved... well maybe a little.

**onironot** · 10-23-2010 03:21 AM

I was referring to your quote, not LDing.

I used thin cardboard folded about 5-6 times, then wrapped in electrical tape. It is about 1x2 inches. This is then taped to a shoe-lace like bracelet with a clip on it. In the dream I just become aware that I am dreaming, and do a reality check to make sure. I don't even think about the bracelet in the dream.

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

**vmenge** · 10-23-2010 07:12 AM

You know what would help? If you guys who got LDs with this posted a successfulness rate of some sorts. Out of X tries, how many got you an LD?
