主题:Questions About Ssildlucid DreamingHi, I hope cosmiciron will answer this because I have a few questions for him :
1. I saw you don't agree with many lucid dreaming habits such as meditation, RCs or ADA, what do you suggest doing throughout a typical day ? Are there habits we need to implement in our everyday life to increase chances of LDing ?
2. Can we use a timer to help us perform the 30 seconds cycles ? I find it helps to be precise without having to count (as we shouldn't), and it brings the focus back if our minds drift away for too long.
3. How many dreams do we have to recall (approximatively) a week to be "able" to lucid dream with greater chances ?
Thank you !
PS : Only had 1 LD until now, with SSILD !
Of course anyone else can answer too (and please do it if you can) :P !
"Habits" rarely get carried into our dreams, therefore, trying to develop the habit of RCing, self-reflection and so on is probably the biggest waste of time one can possibly think of. :p
As for using a timer, I feel it may make it more difficult for one to fall asleep. The SSILD cycles are meant to be performed in a very leisurely fashion and they need not to be precise. You should feel comfortable doing them, whether fast or slow. The 30 second rule is only meant as a general guideline. The truth is, it doesn't matter. If focusing on one sense feels particularly difficult then just skip it. On the other hand, if it feels particularly good then just stay with it a little longer. The same "stay comfortable" rule applies to other aspects as well -- if it itches, just scratch it. If you want to roll, just roll... SSILD is very forgiving.
Hope this helps!
Yes it does, thank you ! And really happy you're still here to answer our questions
Wow!
I feel uncomfortable while doing the touch sense part. So does it work only with sight and hearing?
