Hi I am posting this because i can’t find anything on MILD ing. I know MILDing is reminding your self to remember you are dreaming before you go to sleep, but is there anything else i should know, possibaly specific techniques.
well , i started doing RC about 1 month ago and everytime i go to sleep i say i wanna have a LD, and every time i remember my dreams sometimes at 50% sometimes i remember them all, but i havent a LD yet…i am doing anything wrong?
First of all you did very well with your english, second, to answer your question based on what you said you are doing it right. I usually say "the next time I am dreaming i will realize I am dreaming. Remember sometimes this takes a couple weeks and sometimes a couple of months to work (it different for everyone…). I took me half of a month. Just keep practicing and I bet you will have your first lucid dream any day now!
Hope this helped,

I have been trying MILD after three months of unsuccessful attempts at WILD. So when i try to tell myself to have an LD I end up counting my breaths. So can anyone give me help because I end up not meaning what I am imagining
im afraid it is going to take me until im like 30 till i get one i used to do it all the time when i was little but now im mature and im afraid it will be hard to do im kinda slow when it comes to getting things and horrible when it comes to mastering it do u think it will be really hard for me
I think MILD works for me in the long run, but doesn’t necessarily work if I try it that night. I sort of know that I should become lucid when I go to sleep now even if I don’t actually repeats a mnemonic thing in my head. When I actually do repeat it in my head I often find my thoughts have wandered and I’m not doing it any more, I guess that’s just normal falling asleep though.
I dont really think in words, and it feels strange when I amke my slef do so for such a wierd amount of time. I ahve very little experience with this, but I had a dild or whatever the other day, and I tried doing it artificially, by saying the words, but I dont think its really necessary. though I could be wrong.
Well, as for saying the words in your mind, it helps you to remember it in the dream. Your subconcious might pick it up at somewhere. (I think) For myself it helps a lot. But I think motivation and “knowing it will happen” are the key aspects of DILD.
I started a couple of weeks ago and since then I’ve only had success about 4 times. I remember my dreams most of the time now. Better than I did before. I do RC’s during the day. I repeat sentences over in my head at night before I go to sleep. I say them with meaning too. But I’ve never become lucid in my last REM cycle. I was wondering if anyone just had any ideas.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to get SP using MILD, how common it is, and how bad it is? Since wanting to try Lucid Dreaming, I have been too scared to try it because of SP. MILD seems the safest method for avoiding SP but I just wanted to make sure. Also, does anyone know if using an alarm to wake up would instantly stop or prevent SP?
You don’t have to, but it helps greatly, but you can use a previous dream which you recall well.
You are supposed to wake up from a dream, and then use that dream to kind of get in to it again, but if you have another dream which you can recall well (What it felt like being in that dream, the tastes, the sounds and the smells), then you can use that too.
Exactly. A successful MILD would have you asleep and in ‘dreamstate’ before you realise you are; and then the goal is exactly that: to realise you are. If you experience SP while trying MILD, then your MILD attempt has simply evolved into a possible WILD; and if so, keep at it, once you’ve reached SP, lucid dreaming is merely a stepping stone away.
I think MILD is definitely the technique for me. I’ve figured out that remembering the intention to do an RC is what gets me lucid, so I use the mantra: “In my dreams, I will do a reality check.” One night about a week ago, I used that mantra before going to sleep. My thoughts didn’t wander at all. Then I did a WBTB about 5 hours after I fell asleep. Again I said my mantra without thinking about anything else and I’m sure I fell asleep saying it. That caused me to have a LD
But my thoughts seem to wonder a lot now… Does anyone have any tips for keeping your mind clear?
