Thread: DILD OR WILD for a beginner?

I would recommend DILD for a beginner. This is my favorite tutorial for it:

This will also help with it:

I would recommend signing up for the intro class to get personal help for beginners.

Good luck dreaming. If you have any questions, feel free to ask any questions here or there.

I agree. DILD is the best for beginners.

It's not an either or proposition: you can use both DILD and WILD to try to get lucid (no need to try only one of them), in my opinion.

Cheers mate, reading her guide as I type. Another problem I face is awareness. I followed the general advice and recorded my dreams even though I hate writing, because of this I can remember my vivid dreams. I thoroughly read my dream journal, re-imagining it in my head. But the problem with my dreams is that I'm not aware they are dreams. I mindlessly enact the role of the dream. Like one time I was giving these people a speech about how we should fight dragons, I genuinely believed it was real. I felt the passion of my words even though I don't remember what I was saying. I felt like deep down I knew I was dreaming but subconsciously chose to be a spectator even though I don't want to be one.

Not being aware that you are dreaming, is just any non lucid dream. A lucid dream is a dream that you know you are dreaming. Check out my DJ system for a faster way to DJ, and I think that this has some great advice for recall/awareness:

Well, that's normal in non-lucid dreams though. It's not until we get into lucid dreams or close to succeeding in them that we start questioning stuff like that. I mean, I was once a giant goose, and didn't question it, ok? So if I can be a giant goose, you can educate people about fighting dragons. The thing is that even in waking life we usually don't question and don't notice weird stuff. Like I once went on a walk and noticed I had two shadows, and the only reason I noticed it was because I was paying attention because of lucid dream practice. Now I was awake, and it turned out there actually was a perfectly rational explanation for my two shadows, but if I had not been practicing lucid dreaming awareness techniques, I wouldn't have noticed and wouldn't have cared.

As everybody here said, we accept our dreams with all their weirdness as normal, and we believe they are real. That's the difference between regular and lucid dream. In a lucid dream, you will know that you are dreaming, and none of it is real.

But for that realization to happen, you should practice awareness, reality checks and mantras.
