I am new and have a few questions

[francesm10]

Hi! I just have a few questions. I would appreciate any positive help and feedback. First, I see references to WILD and MILD in alot of the messages. What is the difference? Second, has anyone here ever gotten "stuck" in a dream, where you try to wake yourself up and you think you did, only to still be dreaming? I repeat the loop as many as 10 times before I successfully wake up and by then, I am totally freaked out! I have also had times when I am woken up in the middle of a really good dream and I force myself back into it and play out the scenes that I want to happen. Other times I will be dreaming and I will take over the dream. It is weird but fun. Thanks for any help you can give

*ahem* *whips out the bible of lucid dreaming* WILD = Wake Induced Lucid Dream MILD = Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dream (someone correct me if I'm wrong) WILD is basically falling asleep while remaining conscious (by carrying a thought from the waking word to the dream world) MILD is very basically remembering to become lucid, and imagining yourself in the dream you just woke from... I have also had times when I am woken up in the middle of a really good dream and I force myself back into it and play out the scenes that I want to happen.[/b] (correct me if I'm wrong people!) ok Other times I will be dreaming and I will take over the dream. It is weird but fun. [/b] a lucid dream? or just control? lucid dream = conscious while asleep p.s. welcome to the board..

Welcome, francesm10! Well said, paperdoll, I don't have anything to add...unless she asks something else. In any case, france, just search for lucid dreaming...there are lots of sites that'll tell you everything you want to know.
