I have LDs since I was under 6 years old, but without a practice they were very rare. Maybe I got enlightened in past life? Lucid dreaming: The spiritual freedom of doing what is wanted. Enlightenment(s): Placebo, crutch. Surrender to be a vegetable. Another religion. Relativity like evolving from maggot to a fly.

@bazera I have watched "Behind Her Eyes (TV series)" and learned the highly effective RC-technique from it: "counting of fingers". It is less exposed to that "mechanical" issue than "Am I awake?". I do it at day and night, and (in conjunction with WBTB) have much success recently. It's funny when lying on my sofa I at first, count 6 fingers on my hand, and just after, on the same hand already 7, or 4.

@Inliytened1 is right about quality. Despite this forum contains "Lucid Dreaming" in description, when I want to get something new on that topic I go to dreamviews and reddit. But here I might learn more about a spiritual connection to that topic, plus, many people are here, as for a forum.

@Someone here, a guru is a potential host for demons to control you through. Do not legalize the evil.

@Oppositionless, the deep sleep state is needed to rest.

"You would think... Nightmarish dream are your subconscious fears expressing themselves" Not at all, non-lucid dreaming is the state where we are vulnerable to attacks of evil power. I am spiritual by the way, and wouldn't accept any guru.

@Someone here , what a youtube channel did make you believe in all that surrealism? @Jowblob , I wouldn't decide to drive a car in that state.

Can you lucid-dream at night while maintaining high consciousness at daytime?

My FB after I started reading this topic

why then do i have to regularly maintain the false scenes where the girl from my past is my girlfriend each time while gooning?

When I watched "Ghost Whisperer", I was talking with ghosts in my dreams. When "Z Nation", zombies haunted me. When read practical experiences from the book of Michael Raduga, I became lucid spontaneously. All depends on how much you absorb the movies/series and how interesting they are to you. One thing - sometimes the dreams may be more like dreams about lucid dreams, unlike with WBTB technique. I'm not going to stop on these 2 movies.

WBTB reduces my sleep time, therefore I decided to watch movies instead. My recently watched: Abstraction (2024) https://youtu.be/aApRbX5aaHw https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36757873 Lucid State (2025) https://youtu.be/0qgSIGAhPyM https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39306292

the baseline is an illusion. Altered states are just states of consciousness. That you are writing a post in this state does not mean it's the baseline. We have about 1.5 to 2 hours per night: https://chatgpt.com/share/69a18724-ee2c-8010-8bbd-3a6062e2bb3a When I am practicing a dream recall, it is my baseline, when meditation with hypnagogic visions it's too.

I'm not going to teach you what is truth, just need a fun. The inner voice told me: You cannot see what I see. You're just a small part of the infinite world of live ones. The evil tries to make you believe in what its bots are spreading. You're isolated from the rest of live ones.
