Thread: two LD's the first night??

well since that first night i havent had a SINGLE DILD buuuut last night i successfully had my first WBTB WILD which was a crazy experience. i only stayed lucid for about a minute or two but it was definitely an experience.

there was something i was wondering though. i've been trying to train myself to constantly be aware of my surroundings and do rc's when any of my dream signs pop up, but i never seem to actually be aware of my surroundings in the dream world. once u get more experience LDing is it easier to recognize the difference between real life and dream life or do i just have to keep training myself to pick up on dream signs? like if i was to start WILDing more often, would that help me to notice when i was dreaming normally or do i just need to give the "conscious" more training?

It should get easier. Once you're past the hard beginning and get 10 or so, it gets easier. You won't always have to RC like that. The more LD's you get, the more you recognize the "dream aura" as I call it. So, not only may you get lucid because of odd occurences or an RC, but also because you kinda just recognize the dream environment. I think, since you don't even notice things in your dreams, you'd probably would be no worse off if you just did RC's randomly. If you do the randomly, they should hopefully "randomly" show up in your dreams .
