Thread: Help Me Get My First Ld!

Hello there.
I have yet to have a lucid dream, even though knowing about it almost 2 years, and trying
probably at least 100 or so.

YES, I have read the WILD guide to end all guides, and almost all tutorials.
How do YOU become lucid? I don't just mean WILD, or FILD, but the process.
Many people do a said technique, but i'm pretty sure everyone does it thier own way.
I want to try different peoples methods step for step, and not some huge unpersonalized guide.
Feel free to explain (or try to) even the things like 'zooming out' and any weird feelings you get..
they may be important!

Please post what you do!
(for DILDs, please explain how you do RC's)
Thanks!

I'll get my first LD yet!!

Ok first off, It seems like you are trying to hard.. First thing you must understand is that, each and everynight that you lay down and go to sleep, you are going to dream.. Get that inside your head. Second of all...keep a dream journal and figure out reoccuring things that come up (example: purple cat runs across your path) so you know something that might trigger your sub concious to say "Hey am i dreaming?" there fore leads you to do an DILD- RC..the one thing you asked help with..

Me..the way i do RC's are by plugging my nose and seeing if i can breath through it. You must do RC's in waking life so you have a chance of you doing them inside your dream. Now plugging your nose in your dream, you are gonna beable to breathe through it, letting you know you are dreaming. How do i get to the RC step... That i cannot really explain, i just notice somehow, someway that I maybe, or I'am dreaming, and if i choose to find out for sure, i choose to do the nose RC...

To help you dreams, you may wanna pick up some Vitamin B6, which increases the vividness of your Dreams. You can pick it up at your local grocery store or pharmacy, its about 100 pills, 50 MGs and more depending on what bottle u get. You take 2 about an hour and a half b4 u go to bed. While you are laying there trying to fall asleep just think about what u would do if u became lucid and act it out a few times through out your time of falling asleep. Therefore you may have something that you thought about pop into your dream...that is called a DreamSign--also falls under reoccuring things that pop up in your dreams.


For last advice...Take your time, its no rush...You spend about 20 years of your life sleeping throughout your lifetime... Understand that you will dream every night that you fall asleep..Your dreams is your own imagination...I have had about 74 LD's in about 16 months.....At this moment in time im not even trying to have LD's i just let them happen.....

good luck


"Dream Lucid Until You Lucid Dream"--SpiritOfTheWolf

well, not much can be said unfortunately about a step by step 100 percent way to get lucid, but it can definately said that its dreadfully important to remember as many dreams as you can. Once you recall a butt-load of dreams, you'll eventually just slip into a dream after waking up for a second and thinking about it and become lucid. also: HAVE PATIENCE.

Good luck, and God speek

well thanks. I guess I may just have to figure it out on my own...
I don't know about trying too hard though, I have had varying intesities of will to
LD over the years I've tried. I did do an RC in a dream, but didn't become lucid.

well thanks anyhow!

I'll get that LD!

for fild:

i wake up w/ alarm. i try to use minimal movement and action. i trun off alarm and wiggle my fingers.

thats how i do it.

I usually have to go to the bathroom when I wake up though.
Can you do that before a FILD? Can you do fild without WBTB? (lol I hate it)

Im a natural i get 1 lucid a week without trying and i have since i remember
it may be easier going to the bathroom during FILD a technque i used for FILD cause me to fall asleep 10 seconds after so its good to wake yourself up a bit. I use mainly WBTB with a snack usaully does the trick

I could tell you about the methods that give me success, but it doesn't sound like that's quite what you're looking for. The bottom line is that, in most cases, the lucidity within my dreams is triggered when I start to get the feeling that something "just isn't right". Sometimes it relates to something specific that I can identify, like trying to shout and not being able to get out more than a hoarse whisper, but other times it's just a feeling. I know that sounds sort of vague, but hopefully you know what I mean. After the first time or two that it happens, even if you are only lucid for a few seconds, then you will know what I'm talking about.

Good luck, and keep trying. The only sure way to fail is to stop trying.

(BTW, the methods that usually work best for me are MILD & WBTB)

Hmm. I have tried WILD/WBTB with no results. I laid in bed for about an hour,
counting my breaths. No SP, no nothing. I think I tried about 10-15 times
or so, with varying amounts of sleep. Nothing seems to work!

What I actually was wanting was a description of what you do/what happens,
in contrast to the guides which are pretty vague.
I want to know what YOU do, not what the guide says to do.

Thanks for the replies!
