Thread: Lucid techniques to attain lucidity?

Is it really neccessary to techniques such as dilds, wilds or others to get into a lucid dream? I would really like to try some of these techniques but i am unable to because it takes me so long to go to sleep. I don't go to sleep til around between 2 and 3 am. Sometimes i can get into a lucid but i don't really do rcs any more like i use to i just realize i'm dreaming. But now i barely have 1 lucid a week and if that. Will i have a better chance of getting into a lucid if i try one of these techniques in this forum? I would really like to try a wild.

i think you should keep practicing what you are doing.

and if you take ages to fall asleep normally, then a WILD will have you up till sunrise.

I agree with him...I am not the greatest person on falling asleep...I tried to wild and two hours later I gave up.

Okay, I WILD is where you wake during the night, but don't move and then fall back to sleep?

a wild is where you stay still for a while until you fall asleep into a ld.
What your saying is something like a wbtb and a wild.

Not necessary at all to do any ILD techniques. Those things keep me awake too.

An alternative would be to become a "natural". Lucidity is a byproduct of heightened awareness. If you can become more aware during your daily life, you should start to get lucids. One of the best ways to achieve this is to turn off the inner dialogue in your head. Not the easiest thing to do, but stick with it and it can be done. Meditation might help also.
