Luciding - Lucid Dreaming As A Service (You can now pay monthly fees for lucid dreaming)

[Qwerty Bastard]

You know, if the thing actually works, $12 a month doesn't sound like a bad deal. I don't see why a subscription is necessary at all though.

If you don't pay, do you get nightmares?

[QUOTE=joshuadim;46305176]I've always tried getting lucid dreams but I can't seem to get the hang of it.

But I aint giving money to people for just some LD's lol

can someone tell me an effective way to get one?[/QUOTE]

Waking up an hour or two earlier than usual and then having a 15~ min nap in the middle of the day seems to work most of the time for me. I feel it helps sleeping with bright lights on. I automatically wake up after 15~ min (the dream itself feels a lot longer) though which often abruptly ends the dream.

However we're all different. This method works for me but others say they write dream journals and stuff but I never really bothered with that.

[QUOTE=AtomiCal;46305124]Patience and practice is the most effective approach. The most effective one is just to start writing a dream journal.

Devices like this are more like "aid" for active lucid dreamers. That's why it looks so much like bullshit for the people who don't know what lucid dreaming is.

That aside, I too think that the video looks like bullshit loosely based on science.

During my "lucid dreaming" phase I took B6 vitamin pills that helped me a lot. Because they increase the vividness of your dreams.[/QUOTE]

I often get lucid dreams but controlling them is something I was never fully able to do. I can just sort of hint them. Overall they seem extremely dissociative but very vivid and detailed.

Lucid Dreaming is great; and having LD aids are a great thing--but that's what they should be, just aids to help in your dreaming. Any Lucid Dreamer should reinforce the core skills first and not rely on technology or supplements to induce a Lucid Dream. Practice doesn't make perfect; however, it will form good habits that will cue your conscious mind while asleep.

I think the people who buy into these bits of technology and herbal supplements are too impatient to just start small. They want results now rather than later and that is the worst possible thing to do. You wouldn't expect to become a master at piano in the first few days of playing right? Lucid Dreaming is like any other skill, it takes times, dedication and practice to become proficient in it. These devices are cool, but I'd much rather have the intimacy that comes with progressively unlocking your own subconscious while learning. You become more self aware and to me that is what betters you as a person.
