      Will this cause me to LD?

      So suddenly from using the dream journal, I have gone from having VERY minimal dream recall (one dream a month) too 2-3 dreams for the past 2 night's after using the dream journal. Which is awesome. During the day I am doing reality check's like asking my self how I got here and doing reality checks (trying to put my fingers - through my hand) and seeing if I can breathe thorugh my nose.

      How long do you think this will take me to LD if my dream recall carries on like this and I carry on with the reality checks, or do I have to do the mild, wild tests etc?

      Thank you in advance

      There is no certain amount of time it takes people to get their first LD. Lucid dreaming is a skill and with all skills it takes different people different amounts of time to get the hang of it.
      It could be tonight it could be a couple of months. Usually a month or two of dedication will have yielded some results .

      WILD is tricky, but there's no harm in testing it out to get the perfect time for you to wake up while still in a REM cycle. There's also nothing wrong with a MILD attempt before bed. Its only going to help really.
      Good luck.


      Simply because you can breathe, doesn't mean your alive, or that you really live....

      tbh, with your recall at 2-3 dreams per night and you say your RC'ing. I don't think its gonna be long . Start planning and visualising what you want to do when lucid!!!

      Improving your dream recall is the first step, and a very important one. But that alone, and even doing RCs, won't typically "cause" you to LD. In fact, I would caution you to think about LDing as something passive that just happens if you do a, b, and c. Lucid Dreaming is not a side effect. Most people (non-naturals) find that taking a more active approach to inducing one is the only way for them to lucid dream. For example: try practicing WBTB (Wake Back To Bed).
