Thread: Mastering the techiques

As a beginner to lucid dreaming, I am curious to know what helped others master the technique of Lucid dreaming. I am not interested in links to the techniques this site has already provided, because i have read all of that information. What i am curious to know, is how you all started? What helped you master this skill?
If there is anything that has helped you personally, I am curious to know that aswell.

i know ive not mastered it, but i know how i did it in the first place, which i cant do anymore for some reason. its all about mental discipline and focus, ive lost that and if i get it back, i will have mastered it.

But how did achieve mental discipline and focus?
I have never had a lucid dream that was not pure luck.

I was experiencing sleep paralysis for years before I got interested in lucid dreaming . Im still pretty new to it and I've only had a handul of them so far.

I just read all the stuff they have here and after a few weeks I had a very successful wild/wbtb. all my other wilds failed and the rest of my ld's were because I happened to remeber to do a reality check, but they've been short.

Being a natural helps a lot.
Also making my own technique that coordinates well with my sleeping schedule and style also helped out tremendously.

Mental discipline is something you have to find for yourself. Just reading guides wont help you much, I know because I had the same problem. In the end, the only way to learn lucid dreaming is to keep working hard until it works for you.

i agree with patient, just work really hard at it, you could try meditating to keep your mind clear of other thoughts, this will help focus
