The Creator Of Ssild Had An Interesting Response In His Int

On an average two lucid dreams per week (SSILD or FILD). I learned about SSILD about three months ago and use it on a regular basis since then. In general I started lucid dreaming with FILD which is a wonderful technique, too, but it requires a fine act of balance. SSILD was a later discovery.

I mean, I don't doubt they ever had lucid dreams, but they were very egotistic and claimed to do all sorts of things in their lucid dreams without any boundaries. They had lied about other things unrelated to lucid dreams and all they cared about was to preach about SSILD and draw attention to themselves. That was the first time I heard about SSILD was through that person so that kind of makes me biased. I did try the technique and found it to help a little bit with dream recall, but never had any lucid dream success compared to techniques like FILD or MILD

2 successes per week out of how many attempts? In any case, that's pretty good. I haven't heard of any such results from anyone particularly who doesn't do awareness work. Some people are WILD-style naturals. I've hardly ever had a successful WILD despite over 100 DILDs, and with my predisposition for insomnia, those kinds of approaches don't work for me.

Well everyone will use what works for them.I only started practicing LDing this week but I already did massive amount of progress(for the first week,2 LDs and today I did RC in a dream but idiotic dream logic stopped me from realizing its a dream) thanks to SSILD.Honestly anyone who lies on the internet is pretty paththic,the internet gives us a great opportunity to be truly honest and some people just throw it away for ego.

Almost the same amount of attempts as SSILD always worked so far, and FILD almost always. On the other hand I'm so miserable with DILDs. I barely experience them, at the very most when I have nightmares (which is rarely the case... fortunately). What would you say is the key for DILDs?

If there is any lucid dream technique that has worked for me the most, it is simply being patient and setting an intention every night to lucid dream. If you think about it enough, you will become lucid more often.

The main ingredients are: awareness work, critical reflection, dream recall, intent, WBTB.The benefit of awareness work extends far beyond just LDs, and one reason why I'm so critical of cosmiciron's stance against it, is that it has produced so many vivid, present dreams. My LDs run in hot and cold streaks, but my average dream now tends to be close to semi-lucid. I expect in a few years almost all my dreams will be lucid via DILD thanks to the awareness work.

Awareness work will be what I'm missing then. Enhanced vividness in regular dreams sounds like a rewarding side effect. How does your awareness work look like? Do you meditate, or do you just try to be mindful all day through?

Both, but I'm a bit lazy about the sitting meditation (which is somewhat odd since I almost always really enjoy it). In general, trying to stay tuned in most of the time, recognizing when I've zoned out. Over time you catch yourself more and more frequently, and get to the point where you don't feel right when you're not paying attention.
