Hey, my name is Daedra, I am 15 years old and have some knowledge about LDing. I have had a fair share of lucid dreams since I discovered them a year or two ago, but they were all by chance. I recently became interested in them and did some research, I stumbled upon DV. I have read most tutorials and guides, as well as tips and Stickys of all the LD methods and RCs etc. I perform RC checks ever 15 - 30 mins and whenever I go into a new room. And on some occasions, I truly question reality. I get lost in the thought and explore my surroundings with all my senses. Before I go to sleep I use mantras and just tell myself, "I know I will have a lucid dream. And I know I'll remember the dreams." And I'm very good at visualising but often get distracted.

I think I have good recall, I always have been able to remember at least half of my dreams, and after reading some tips on this site, I've recently been remembering up to 3 dreams a night. I keep a Dream Journal and right anything down that I can remember. Side note: I have some strange dreams...

I have been attempting MILD and it is somewhat successful. I have a semi-lucid dream where I can control what I do. But I can't control any other aspect of the dream (where I am, what characters enter, my current situation, etc.). So I have to try and become aware during the dream, which I believe relates to DILD. I have come close in my dreams over the past few nights, but something interrupts me, so the dream continues on it's own.

I think I lean more towards the MILD / DILD methods, I want to include WBTB but I have a problem getting back to sleep and normally can't do it. Anyway, i will try to LD every night. And maybe do more RCs more often, and have more confident mantras. I'm super excited and can't wait to learn more about LDing.

Thanks, sweet dreams!
