..To lucid dream by will.

Last night I had a lucid dream, which woke me up quite quickly after I realised I could control my dream.

I didn't even know this was possible, but looked it up on the internet and came across this site.

I really like the idea of it, so i'm going to try to keep a Dream Diary and spot common occurences in them, so I can trigger a lucid dream as much as possible

Couple of things i'd like to know though, what's SP, and LD? Is LD a lucid dream? Also, what's a WILD and DILD?

Umm..

Sorry, just saying what i'm thinking, blurting out rubbish.. XD

Soo.. So far, i've heard there are different methods of trying to lucid dream, of these:

  • Counting from 100 to 0, then again. How does this help to induce a lucid dream?
  • Trying not to think at all? The same as above, how does this help?
  • Thinking of random things (day dreaming, in a way?) but remaining conscious enough to know you're awake (or about to be asleep)


So tonight, what do you think I should do?

-Lay still?
-Remember i'm about to fall asleep, and try to concentrate on that
-Or think of random things, whilst remembering i'm about to fall asleep?
