Thread: Better way to set intent (?) | Taking Lucidity For Granted

Couple of disclaimers:

Im fairly certain that this topic hasn’t been thoroughly discussed on dreamviews yet, but correct me if I’m wrong.
I was going to post this in “attaining lucidity” but I didn’t really find a sub forum fit for this post. So it’s being posted here in general lucid discussion.
Keep in mind that this enhancement for intention setting is experimental, and should not be used reliably yet. I have not even begun testing this, refining this, and figuring out how to explain this to the less experienced.
This thread assumes you know about MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams), as well as intention setting. If you don’t know what those are, please read the links below or you will possibly have no idea what is being talked about in this thread:

Recently (by that I mean an hour ago at the time of writing this), I posted my first Mnemonic induced lucid dream (I had the lucid dream at age 7). I had induced the lucid dream whilst in an attempt to practice waking up on demand.
(I am not 7 years old right now, this event of which this lucid dream occurred was back in the winter/spring of 2015 and 2016).

The lucid dream proposed an idea — While I was discussing with myself what I should do to wake up on demand, I completely ignored the lucidity aspect. I was focused on a goal from after becoming lucid (which is waking up on demand).
In Hukif’s words:
“That’s because you took lucidity for granted. What you did, was set up intention to do a task after becoming lucid. So your brain was like ‘Yes, I will be lucid 100%, just gotta remember to open eyes.’”

That’s why the thread’s title is “taking lucidity for granted.” This enhancement aims to keep the amount of overthinking & stress of intention setting at a minimum (or even out of the way completely), through the near-complete ignoring of the goal of lucidity, and instead having the main goal in mind be something you want to do in the dream.

To put things more understandable for hands-on learners, I am going to talk more about the dream I had in winter-through-spring of 2015-2016, this time in a first-person perspective.

I crawled in bed, I was planning out how I wanted to wake up on demand. It went something like this:
“I wanna practice waking up on demand. In order to do that, I have to open my eyes while dreaming. Alright, I’ll go to bed and practice waking up on demand when I’m in a dream.”

As you can clearly see, this coincidentally goes exactly in-line with intention setting for MILD. Except, one thing is different—I did not have the intention to comprehend the dreamstate, I instead had the intention to do something ONCE I comprehended the dreamstate.

Im gonna begin testing on this enhancement tonight.

It’s a very small difference, but is it powerful?
Let’s all discuss that.
