Thread: Quick advice?

Your dream recall seems to grow rapidly. Keep at your dream diary. It will pay off.

And you're absolutely right; try to focus yourself on YOUR recurring dream signs (dreams are personal; what may work for others may not work that well for you). These are excellent to attain lucidity. Try to recreate the feeling and moment you have when you meet any of these dream signs in your dreams in waking life.

Practicing reality checks works. Intent to remember that you need to do a reality check later when X happens. Make X your dream sign. This will train your prospective memory.

My first lucid dream happened after around 1.5 week when I started practicing it.

Thanks for the reply .

Dream signs really do change! Back when I first posted this thread, it was school. Now I'm having dreams of me arguing a LOT with my girlfriend, or us just getting into some trouble.

I will continue my journal and focus on these signs, because anything that has to do with WILD doesn't work for me.

So arguing with your girlfriend is one of your new dream signs.

And it's OK. I've had a time I had almost one lucid dream per night (all DILDs and MILDs), but I really sucked at WILD (and still do). You don't need WILD to succeed at lucid dreaming, though if you've mastered it you can have a lucid dream anytime you wish. It's easier to start with the other things, like keeping up a dream journal, reality checking, WBTB and MILD.

Try spreading your effort in lucid dreaming throughout the day during different events. I find that this helps me. The logic behind it is that learning spreadily is better than learning uninterrupted for a long time period.
