Lucid Dreaming | Prospective Memory Importance

If there is something that is underrated, it is training the prospective memory.



Basically, we get LDs mostly by intention. Intention works using the prospective memory.



If there is something that we know is surely a basis for becoming an expert LDer, it's the prospective memory, because it gets used to the intention to get a LD, like when you get used to taking a pill at 8pm, it becomes almost automatic remembering each time.



Also, prospective memory is what makes us remember DSs in dreams, making us lucid.



There are other factors to LDing, like uping the schema of dreaming possibility so you would become lucid next time in doubt in a dream, and thinking about LDing and RCing so they would happen in the dream, but prospective memory is the main one.



The great thing is that you can train the prospective memory so it would become stronger.



Really if I would label something as the key and way and tool in becoming an expert, the thing that improves and makes you an expert LDer, it's the prospective memory. Don't forget, experts' INTENTION to LD is very powerful! One mantra and they get a LD.



Also will power is important, because it allows you to put more effort to your work. Sensei explains very well how will power works with motivation and expectation. You should check out his thread (at least the part where he explains this): Sensei's Secrets

The great thing about will power is that you can train it too! It can get more powerful, just Google how.



Please if you can add something, or pose a problem in my post, please comment about it :)
