Hi all,
Firstly, I'd just like to say hello and that I'm going to be coming here regularly as I try and experience a Lucid Dream. I hope you'll have me. 
I've heard of Lucid Dreams for years but only this week I've decided to try and do it myself. Now, like most people my initial drive to do this was to fly, levitate and pretty much to amazing things but the more I read about it the more I find meditation and the sleeping hours fascinating. Before I tell you about my try outs I've read in depth about MILD, WILD etc.. (but a tip or two can't hurt )
OK, so the first thing I did was I got some binaural beats. I got the "Lucid Dream" one from I-doser and tried to do the WILD tech. Now, being lazy I hadn't read up on it but after about 15 minutes or so my body started to lose feeling. It's hard to describe but I retreated into my mind and the touch of my bed and clothes weren't a factor. I've heard about people hearing music in white noise so I imagined a cello playing. And all of a sudden three notes were being played. It was very quite but it was there. I could stop and play them at will. However, I didn't fall asleep and gave up that night.
The following few nights I tried it out but while I could still get to the previous stage I couldn't go any further.
I read over multiple forums and got the impression that the WILD tech was the hardest so I opted last night to try out the MILD tech. Now, I'm the kind of person who doesn't remember their dreams. However, when I do they're in great detail. I believe it was posted on this forum but I told myself last night "I'm waking up at 4, I'm waking up at 4". I believe this time is crucial to dreaming. So, I set my internal clock, woke up at around half 4, put on some binaural beats and fell asleep. The second I woke up it was all in my head. Three dreams.
I reached under my bed and successfully made an entry into my Dream Journal. For me to remember a dream at will is unheard of. 
So, everyday now I'm being getting into the habit of doing the nose pinch RC and I'm confident I can keep filling up the DJ. I put it to you guys now to assess what I've done so far and if possible give me tips. Is this good progress for someone who started the journey last week?
Also, here's a question for members who LD. Does it feel like it's happening to you in the present or is it merely a memory as you awake?
Thank you
