Thread: Lucid dreaming easier when not trying?

I've had prolonged success with this in the past multiple times. I'm not sure it would work for everybody, though, as with every other lucid dreaming technique.

Looking through my Intro Class Workbook, I first tried this in December of 2013. October of 2014, I tried it again, (post #144, #145) even stating back then that I had prolonged success with it in the past. That was the only time I recorded my results for this, I had 17 LDs in 2 weeks. I even "set the technique in stone".

Now that I think about it, this approach is just like Stephen Laberge's autosuggestion technique, only I don't stress the relaxation, and I indirectly suggest to myself that I will have a lucid dream by reminding myself of my dream goal rather than directly suggesting to myself that I'll have a lucid dream.
