Thread: Greetings and salutations!

Hello! I'm an 18-year-old college student from the Philippines. I started pursuing lucid dreams early November last year, when I was feeling kinda down and I somehow came across the concept of lucid dreaming on the Internet, specifically from the World of Lucid Dreaming website. I was very enticed by the idea that there is this world within my mind where I can do whatever I want, and, especially as a person who deals with issues like stress management and social anxiety, get in touch with my psyche/subconscious.

I've been lurking on DreamViews for the past month or so, learning as much as I can to improve my pursuit of LDs. So far I've managed to become lucid five times: two failed WILDs that somehow became DILDs, two with the help of MILD, and one after practicing self-awareness a lot during the day. My first two LDs (the failed WILDs) were only a few seconds long, but the others were around 1~2 minutes so I can definitely sense some improvement. I recently noticed that the thing in common with all these LDs was that I really, really wanted to get lucid those times, so now I practice a personal method similar to MILD. I am also convinced that awareness is key to lucid dreaming, so during the day I practice somewhat of a hybrid between Puffin's SAT and Sageous's RRCs.

I decided to make an account so I can share my journey towards being an LD master with others, and perhaps I may learn and draw inspiration from your experiences as well.
