Hi,
I'm fairly new to DV. I have only been here a few months, but already I have made so much progress. My first lucid dream can be seen in my poorly kept up dream journal. I didnt enter yesterday's increadable lucids, nor the day before's more-vivid-than-normal dreams. I have tried out an assortment of ways to keep your mind focused on dreaming, and ways to attain lucidity once you are dreaming, and I have come across something interesting.

I dont need anyone technique to become lucid or to keep my mind focused on dreaming. I just sleep and either have a DILD, or on some strange ocassions, especially when im napping, it will be a full blown WILD. I think what i do before i sleep could be considered MILD, but usually when i actively try to MILD, i either dont become lucid, or i dont sleep.

My two questions are these. When i do try to use a LD technique such as WILD, i could be laying there for hours of nothing but intense HI, SP, or none of the above... why is this?


And... Does anyone find it just as simple as i have put it? Using no technique only to find that you enter into a dreamscape in the same discription of what makes a LD tech just that? Ex: You go to sleep thinking nothing about nothing, and find that you just entered a dreamscape completly lucid?
