Sounds like a worth while idea. My dream recall has deteriorated a little since my last LD, so this might motivate me to get it up a bit.
I tried your variation last night Trancewave - it worked great!
I had an LD that lasted about a minute (my longest yet 
) as well as several non-lucid dreams in which I remember questioning if I was dreaming or not, but for some reason didn’t do an RC 
… If I HAD, perhaps I would have gotten 2 or 3 LD’s 
I suppose it could have been a coincidence (i’ve sorta been “due” to have an LD for a while now), but for now I’m going to attribute last night’s success to your method. I’m going to try again tonight.
I like the sound of this, have a feeling it might work for me. I’ll try it.
I think this is a good idea.
awesome! its 10 times better than the ways that require to wake up in the middle of the night [including mine] i personally dislike getting up early because i dont want to…and sometimes i dont even wake up when my alarm goes off 
plus i have school. so yeah…i like this a lot because it has success, and you can do it without having to wake up at 3 am. ill try this for sure for the next couple of days and tell ya what happens! Subtle Chaos inspiried me to do this if theres success…it works! hehe…im hyper.
Very nice thoughts and ideas, trancewave. You sure know how to invent 
Looks like it’s pretty successful too. I’ll try it tonight!
Wow, I’ll try for sure, sounds awesome.
3 LDs. Worked great for me.
Hm, this seems to work very well for some people 
I tried it a bit last night but since I also did the counting tech I didn’t really focus too much on it. I will try a bit harder tonight and see what happens.
And Freecude it seemed to work extremely well for you I assume you will try it again tonight and report back here tomorrow to inform the rest of us.
The next time I hum a song I haven’t heard before, I will do a RC!
didnt work 
i didnt even look at my images right when im falling asleep…i just fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. hehe.
tried it again last night. No lucidity this time; however three of my targets turned out to be the main subject of a few of my dreams. Dreaming was even mentioned at one point in the dream, but the idea of a RC sort of just slipped my mind. If I’m firmer with my intentions it should work out alright so its working good so far
“The next time I think about the Neural Noise Synthesizer, I am dreaming.”
Dreamt about:
Yu Gi Oh!
…
The first random thought was my best friend and I also had a dream about him but I didn’t do a RC Trancewave are you otherwise good with MILD? MILD isn’t really my thing, but I will try this again tonight even if it didn’t work yesterday. I mostly thought about different persons last night before bed but only one of them made it into a dream, or I only remember that one came into a dream.
i still didnt get it. when i think back…i dont remember at all going through the stage where i see random things (before i fall asleep)…so yeah…since im not going through that…i cant really do the method
Jajajaja :o
1 LD for me last night with this method
Ben, I don’t mean that you are supposed to be actually seeing things, its about what you are thinking. The idea is that when you lie down, you just relax and see what comes into your mind on its own. You should be thinking of at least something when you lie there. Your brain won’t be dead quiet unless your in a deep trance or in deep theta sleep.
And btw Freecube, Congratulations on your success. It seems its working pretty well for you yeilding 4 LDs so far.
You get these random thoughts when you just sit and think if nothing, for me it’s sort of like a daydream since I usually get images with the random thoughts. I also get these thoughts when I meditate but they somehow seem a bit different then, I supress every normal thought in my mind but the random ones feels more like it’s not me thinking them. It’s like they just pop into my mind from nowhere and I also find it’s a bit harder to supress them and they seem more interesting too.
thx trance…i thought u meant visual. because some nights i see things b4 i go to sleep. other nights i dont. hehe. last night…i tried something else. i pictured myself in a huge red room with a friend. and i had my friend ask me what a RC was…so i showed him…and i kept thinking of this dream over and over. well…when i was sleeping…i didnt dream of that, but i did dream of a weird ass dream that was probably teh best i ever had. it took 2 pages to write in my DJ and im pretty sure i had full control, i just didnt know i was dreaming. anyways…i loved that dream. it was so cool…dunno why. hehe. i might post it on my DD Page on this if i have time.
+1 LD again. Was a short but sweet LD, but still counts anyway. I’m going to stick to this technique for a while since its working so well for me.
