Thread: Best Method to Focus on for a Newbie

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.

So, I ask this plain and simple question which has probably been asked a thousand times before: which is the best method to focus on to attain lucid dreams?

I know there are tutorials and threads all over the place discussing exactly this, but as a beginner: what should I be focusing on? WILD? DILD? WBTB? If it is WILD, can I skip the whole reality checks thing?

Thank you!

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.

And if it's WILD I personally wouldn't give up on RCs because they help get up your awarness..

i think you should do Wbtb so u can recall lots of dreams.
do a RC once every 5 minutes(starting from right now till ur lucid dream).
also look into wild and try to learn that.

Awareness coupled with MILD. Super easy (maybe no so the awareness) and also with practice (see Naiya) you can get an LD a night.

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.
