Thread: best technique

well tarsier
thnx for the advice ill have to try that out.

the thing that I do, is
1) I eat a banana or dark chocolate before I go to bed, because it gives me more vivid dreams.
2) when I get up to do WBTB, I write the dream I just had down while doing reality checks. This will almost always give me a DILD if the dream that i'm writing down is vivid enough. It's like the more details I write down the more likely I am to become lucid.
3) Then just keep thoughts of lucid dreaming and what you would like to do once you become lucid (or use autosuggestion) as you fall back asleep.

works like a charm for me, and I usually only have to be out of bed long enough to go to the bathroom.
But it's different for everyone, you just have to know how long you can stay up before either becoming too awake to fall back asleep or not staying up long enough to become awake so that you fall asleep too quickly. once you figure that out you should be on your way to LD's in no time.
