I think it depends on the person,some people try to induce DILDS and have no sucess with that so they try WILD and sucsead many times.You got to find whats right for you. |

I have just started with my dream journal and I am not yet ready to even start trying induction methods - but I want to be prepared, because reading through all the different literature available there seem to be so many different or mildly different ways of achieving lucidity in a dream. |

i think you should do Wbtb so u can recall lots of dreams. |

Awareness coupled with MILD. Super easy (maybe no so the awareness) and also with practice (see Naiya) you can get an LD a night. |
|
Working on: Daily awareness.
Lucid Task: Reverse the flow of a waterfall and ride up it.
I suggest you start with the DILD/MILD area. Whilst you are doing this it would be a good idea to at least try to WILD a few times to see how it goes. You may end up lucky and find that WILDing is easy. |
|
RC every time you walk through a door. really helps with awareness, and if it becomes a habit, likely will give you quite a few lucids. |
|
Yeah, I'd definitely say to start with something like the DILD or MILD; they're fairly easy and a good place to gain some experience! |
|
For beginners, definetly start with MILD/DILD. It doesn't require actual "Technique" like WILD does. But you will have to start doing RCs and increase your general awareness like others have said. |
|
WILD comes very naturally to some people, and could be your thing. Personally, I find SP to be too strange a feeling, plus I don't like getting up and detracting from my regular sleep, of which I already get too little of. |
|
Thanks all very much for your replies! |

Val, I am like you are with work. There is always the dream journalling route. Go to sleep earlier and use your extra time in the morning or get up during the night to journal or at least jot down some things. |

What is the point of dream jourlnaling? how will it help you lucid dream? |
|
How does it help you go lucid? Well while you journal you have dreaming on your mind. It is like a form of MILD, because it's the sort of thing, that suggestion that carries over into your sleep. Incedentally, as you read about lucid dreaming right now, you are actually improving your own chances of having a lucid dream. And the people who journal also seem to be the ones who "Go lucid for no reason" most. This is closely related to MILD. Though I've never approached MILDing with much dedication, it is along the same lines as it as far as I can see. |

ah okay, i started a dream journal today and just logged my first entry. should i put a date |
|
My recommendation to newbies is always MILD. No, you won't have a lucid instantly like you do with a WILD, but I believe that it is the easiest and least time-consuming method, which makes it a perfect technique for beginners. |

Just a quick note on reality checks! Don't do them so that habitual = mindless. Like poking your finger into your palm but not really asking yourself why you're doing it. Reality checks should always be coupled with a bit of an awareness check, I think! |
|
Novise, I like the idea of awareness. |
|
Dream signs are more prevalent in some individuals. Some are vague, some specific (pink bunnies....yeah... that happens a lot). I don't have very many, and have kept a DJ every night for the past 7 months. It all depends on who you are... |
|
Dream on...
