"Kitchen Sink" approach to lucid dreaming

[lucidinthe sky]

I threw in everything except the kitchen sink last night trying to lucid dream. First I started with WILD, MILD and finally had a DILD with a WTBD thrown in somewhere in the middle just for good measure. I wanted, begged, demanded, visualized, fantasized, prayed, you name it. Just give me the DAMN thing!

And FINALLY.... a lucid dream! So my advice: just do every technique and then some. Oh and this works too: say to yourself right before going to sleep "from now on EVERYTHING will be a dream"

You know what really does it? Your will and determination. All those techniques help, but in the end what really gives us lucid dreams is our determination confidence and will. I really want a lucid dream every night, I think about it many times during the day, I read about it, and I know I will have one, and then I have them every night. I do no techniques. I just have them every night because I know I will and I want them badly enough. Some few nights when I don't want them bad enough, I don't have them but then the next night I really want one and I have it. So just be confident and want it:)

Glad to hear that. I need to start believing I'll have one every night; I'd like one every night alright.

This is 100% true. It's all about will, determination, belief that it will happen, etc. The techniques help, but it's really an exercise in shear will. With only a few rare exceptions, I have to want it really badly before they happen. After I have one, I can't help but slack off, even if just a little. Then they don't happen again until I get that absolute resolved, focused desire. There is nothing I have ever done in my life that has required that level.
