Auto-suggestion is SCARY

[Halocuber]

It's scary on how well it works!!!! I told myself this about 8 times : I will remember my dreams and I will wake up after each dream period. and .... It work , I woke up about 4 times last night and I was able to remember all my dreams . I wonder what else this voodoo can do ? #joke#

Congrats. It's usually hard to make it happen that easily.

Nice that it worked for you. don't get all lazy now and keep auto-suggesting and you'll be a pro LDer soon

I guess I have to give it a try then. But Im curious to know something, is using auto-suggestion basically MILDing?

[Da_bomb143]

similar, but auto-suggestions has many more applications. For example, auto-suggestion can be used in MILDs, but it can also be used to remember dreams, and also to remind yourself of something. At least, that's my understanding.

Ahh yes, that sounds about right. thanks.

In my opinion, the power of auto-suggestion/MILD is underestimated. I do see skeptical people give it a try, and then find out that it works! Though auto-suggestion doesn't work for everyone, but I still think that especially newbies should give this technique a try. The more sure you are that it will work for you, the better it works.

I have to admit, I never really took auto-suggestion/MILDing seriously. I just didnt think it was reliable enough to put effort into; so instead I put all of my effort into WILDing which hasn't let me down. However, I still want to try and have a MILD because I havent been keeping up with my WILDs/WBTBs lately, so I want to be able to LD w/o having to rely on waking up every morning and going back to sleep in order to LD. I kind of want to incorporate MILDing as my official backup to WILDing.
