Well just remember its an all or none deal. Everything I wrote is a key part of inducing lucidity, don't just skip something because you view it as unimportant

I read every last punctuation mark!

Also, I think questions like TalkingHead's and the following discourse between you and Clarity (while usually constructive) almost detracts from your tutorial. The point of your tutorial was, like you said, to be all inclusive. Asking questions after the fact and expanding on it take away from the simplicity of it all. For example, you mentioned that EVERY method stems out of the four basic methods and that everyone should find out for themselves! Asking questions after just detract from that simplistic view and make it more complicated all over again!

The post was fantastic because it gave the basics and was JUST descriptive enough, just like when you talked about Everest. You pointed out that you described what you would DO but you didn't describe the feelings themselves, you let the feelings happen. Now let me point out that the same thing should be done with this tutorial in general! These basics are what should be DONE, let the methods and the individual varieties come to everyone on their own!

Now get out there and dream!

You know what? Your absolutely right.

Clairity: Would you mind deleting the quotes of me you have in your posts? I think I will keep this topic free of my personal biases.


Thanks for pointing this important idea out to me citizen

No prob, no prob. Glad to help you because your post helped me!

I don't post very often, let alone on tutorials, but I have to say this was pure awesome. I've always found your tutorials insightful Billybob, and this one doesn't disappoint. Feels kinda like starting LDing over again, or at least it's a refreshing take on it. Keep up the great work!

Done!

Update Day 1: Had an LD (my 7th ever) on day 1 with the WBTB! The LD was going exactly as planned til I tried to spin a new dream environment. I'm actually pretty confident I could do that again nearly effortlessly as I was bordering lucidity from 7am to 10-11ish. Loving this schedule.

Cheers to you BillyBob and my inevitable DILD tonight

Your explanation of WILD is superb! I think I know where I'm going wrong now! Definately going to make a few changes tonight

Awesome! I hope it'll help

Thanks and all, also for additional explanations in the chat!

You're saying the opposite of what Clarity says, right? She says "imagine that you're already dreaming", you say "don't think about dreaming at all". I'm abit confused.
