Thread: SilverBullet's Newly Revised Key to Lucid Dreaming

Namaste (Devanagari: नमस्ते; formal: Namaskar) is a common spoken greeting or salutation originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is a customary greeting when individuals meet, and a salutation upon their parting.

This is one of the best techniques, its so simple but effective.

I feel your guide is indeed good, but the only point i would disagree with is the dream journal. I feel if one wants to truly invest both there concious and sub-concious mind in the goal then a dream journal is vital and a must. Not to mention the fun of simply keeping one!
I mean, if you not recalling your dreams then you sure as hell wont wont recall lucids. Keeping a dream journal firmly cements that intent in your mind and gives you insight into your nightly sojourns as a bonus!

When you build up a big journal(i have nearnly 300 word pages in 3 years) you can begin conducting surveys to find out what enviroment you've been in most and use it as a dreamsign!

great post though, i know it will help many people!

I don't use one, I have pretty good recall. I've tried using one before, it never really helped at all at it was boring writing all the stuff down.

well, in my honest opinion i feel one really must keep a dream journal if you are commited to lucid dreaming. It is the basic requirment, but since you have good recall already imagine how much better it could be!

i find one of the ways to stimulate a vivid dream or to easily remember dreams is to flick through my journal at night...it gets your mind accessing a whole separate set of memories(dream ones) and thinking in a different way!

each to his own though...

some people just have naturally good recall, or you can build recall and stop having to use it after a long period of time of doing so.

Step 4 was REALLY helpful!
I always end up failing in some of the stabilization parts, making me wake up.
Using step 4 I could climb right back in. :p

Yep, I probably would have like 200 less lucids if I never did step 4.

Lol wow, the whole hands thing, my first and only true lucid was a short one where I looked down at my arm and and actually thought "this is a dream :3"

My main problem is I never seem to stop long enough to think to much.... I'm moving around and seeing stuff but.... its like i'm not aware of the fact that im dreaming. Sure I can fly, kill a monster.... then go through dejavu where i'm running through the same room from it and decide to just let it eat me the second time.... but i like rarely ever stop and go "oh shiz i'm dreamin"

Only just the once :/

Amazing: Tryed it 4 Days and had 4 Lucid Dreams!
Each Time combined with WBTB, I thinkt thats more effective .

SilverBullet many thanks Dude .

I think I got a lucid last night from this method.
I knew it. I knew I would reach salvation with this..
Thank you.

Just because of this thread I am really motivated to start lucid dreaming, and one tip I think helps is that when you want to start lucid dreaming you start THAT NIGHT you don't wait and say, "oh I'll try it next week", or "tonight I'm not feeling it I'll do it tomorrow night" I think its better to start right away and that's what I'm going to do, start tonight, thanks for this guide SilverBullet

I've had a lot of success with this technique, so thanks SilverBullet but I have to say I will still keep a dream journal for archival purposes at least. I think this technique is so effective because it takes the most important element of a MILD, belief, and focuses on that.

Great guide here. I don't doubt that works. Getting those subliminal messages in your mind along with firmly believing you are a "master" at lucid dreaming I think greatly increases your chances of having one.

My favorite part of the guide was the beginning, though... it kind of sounded like an infomercial. lol

Ever since I stopped doing my mantra, and following this guide, my LD rate's been through the roof. You're fucking amazing dude. My LD count was 104 Thursday, now it's 109, three days later. I never have this much luck. Thank you dude.

I'm glad I could help you guys.

I need help on the believing bit. After 80 nights of nothing but one semi lucid, belief is one thing that seems very very difficult to get. If it's the most important part, then am I screwed if I can't get it?

Read step 2 again, I didn't really say you need to believe it. Your subconscious doesn't know what's hard and what isn't. Say if you shot for 10 lucids a night, your subconscious isn't going to go "Oh I don't know if I can do THAT, like maybe at least 1 a night but 10?!". Your subconscious doesn't do that. Just imagine that you are a lucid dreaming master, and that you get many many lucids every night, even if you don't believe it. Your subconscious will though, and that's what matters most.

So my subconscious is an idiot and will believe anything I do? Sounds just as tough as making myself believe I will lucid dream tonight- there just isn't enough factual evidence to support such a claim for me. I can't just be told something and go "Oh yeah, that sounds right". I need a second opinion or some sort of proof.

My own problem I guess. I can at least try.

There is actually factual evidence. When you think it fires off neurons or something like that. The more you think about something, the easier it will fire off. I don't know the whole thing but it does come from signals in the brain.

As SilverBullet said, the subconscious doesn't know the truth. It believes any thought you think and works so make that happen.

This tutorial is very good, especially for people new to lucid dreaming as they don't understand the whole concept of belief until later. Lucid dreaming is all in the brain. All the techniques, they are all there to try and change your mind to realise you're dreaming one way or another, right? Maybe except WILD.

But remember that this isn't a quick fix like some threads about vitamins and food. This is something to work on with your mind. I'm busy with school at the moment so I haven't given it a real change and real work, but it's already gotten me lucid dreams and I plan on really going for it in the summer, with little other techniques. Maybe a WBTB each night and a dream journal. I truely believe this is the way to go with lucid dreaming. It makes perfect sense.

Haha, well it's not exactly an idiot. Because once it believes it, it makes it true.

And in case I didn't convince you I would like to mention a boy that lost his eyes to cancer when he was young. YouTube - ‪Blind Kid uses Echolocation to "See"‬‏.
When he got older he could see. He does it with echolocation. He sees with sound. Now what is different about him that makes him have that ability and not most other blind people? When he was little, after he lost his eyes he told his mom that he couldn't see. His mother told him that he CAN still see, he can see with his ears, and that he can see with his hands. His mother encouraged him to believe that he could see. And so he did. You can just watch the videos on him.

I'm with origami on this one. Just "feeling" as if I was a master and trying to beleive it hasn't done shit for me in the months I've been trying since your first tutorial.

From what I've seen, this technique works for you so you assume th subconcious has no idea what's going on. If you think and feel as if you were a master your not going to just become a master. Your right, lucid dreaming is not hard, but it does take some time and work. Now for the few people this has worked for this doesn't apply but for most just "feeling" as if you were natural doesn't work.

Hmm, perhaps this has to do with ones bent of character. I really don't know what to say to you rynkrt.

I will give one final tip, but I'm not forcing my beliefs on you. You choose to believe me or not.
What it is that drives this technique isn't so much belief. It's intent, I've yet to mention it because It has to do with what people believe and it can be pretty controversial.

to use intent is "Wishing without wishing, wanting without really wanting."

Here is a quote from don juan:

"In the universe there is an unmeasurable, indescribable force which sorcerers call intent. Absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link. Sorcerers, warriors, are concerned with discussing, understanding, and employing that connecting link. They are especially concerned with cleaning it of the numbing effects brought about by the ordinary concerns of their everyday lives. Sorcery at this level could be defined as the procedure of cleaning one's connecting link to intent." This is what I do, but I don't exactly expect any of you to believe it, as it does sound far fetched.

So you basically passively want lucids but you do absolutely nothing to get them?
