Easy LD’s, finally! — pt.1

Date: 3/27/2020

So yesterday, Steven LaBerge’s classic book, Explore the World of Lucid Dreaming came through my door and I read a good deal of it straight away. I can safely say that it is well worth getting because the amount of information and motivation is gives is highly effective. I’ve had many times where I thought I was lucid in a dream, but really I was only mildly aware of the dream; and perhaps four fully lucid dreams in my whole life before today—and they were very short. But today I had by far the longest and most productive dream where, at times, my lucidity was like waking life. It’s hard to write about it because really I was constantly in and out of sleep for three hours in which I naturally recognised I was dreaming and immediately began to make efforts to increase my lucidity or peeling the dream, which in most cases lead to me waking up. The difference is that, realising I was in a dream was easier than ever before, and at least four or five of times I was able to remain in the dream and actually enjoy it. In another post I’ll actually write my dreams, but i just wanted to say how effective the technique I used was for anyone reading who rarely becomes lucid by chance. It was Steven LaBerge’s MILD technique, something I’d read about many times but only tried half heartedly, but because I had just read how much it had increased his ability to naturally recognise dreams (from a high point of four LD’s in a month to twenty six!) I applied the technique with a great deal of effort this morning and had at least five awakenings and maybe three pretty long lucid dreams.
