MILD

in Lucid Dream Techniques

MILD

Today was the secondf day I tried MILD. There was less tension that on the first day, where my obcession with steps 3 and 4 occupied almost my entire night.

Today I was able to do all steps and sleep, but there is a problem. Usually I recall 3 to 5 dreams per night, been doing that for the past 3 months. All of a sudden, as soon as I tried the technique today I recalled a snippet of a dream and that's it... Is it a normal occurrence? Should I go back and concentrate only on dream recall again?

I haven't had this experience with MILD specifically, but if I get too focused on the particulars of a technique, my dream recall indeed tends to crash. So I'd say it's possible that you were a bit too focused on the different steps or on the idea that this would make you lucid.

I don’t quite understand the question, can you give more information? Dream recall fluctuates, and can be impacted by multiple variables. It is normal to have poor dream recall sometimes. You’ve likely already seen the video Daniel Love did on MILD, but in case you didn't, here it is: https://youtu.be/r-0ImWP2FCQ . That’s about all I can offer.

@Saffrinian 1 hello, and thanks for helping me. Yes, I saw the video and read the MILD from Laberge book. Allow me to clarify my doubt. Is it possible that by trying MILD I'm disrupting my dream recall accidentally? I ask that because, as a control freak, I tend to tense in this path for lucidity, and that can cause some mental blockages. (hence my request to Daniel in explained the connection between stoicism, letting go and lucid dreaming being) because ld is something you cannot "brute force". But each step that I make, I wanna control it so bad that sometimes that will can cause a blockage...no? Hope I managed to clarify my doubt.

I don’t see any reason that trying MILD would give less Dream recall, other than disrupting sleep. But I am definitely not the most knowledgeable in this area, so maybe someone else will have a better answer.
