Thread: I would like to start lucid dreaming.

1. Don't be afraid. Be fearless! It's all in your head! In fact, nothing scary can happen to you at all unless you're ALREADY afraid.

2. Yes, this happens, they are called false awakenings, where you dream that you wake up. Anywho, waking up for real is mainly a problem because it happens too much. If anything shocks you too bad, trust me, that will wake you up.

3. On the first try, huh? Totally! As long as you keep a positive mindset, anything can happen! But if it doesn't, don't be too discouraged, just keep at it. MILD works for pretty much everyone eventually.

4. Oh yes. Yes you can. If you're a virgin, you might be working off educated guesses though.

5. Limitations? HA! We don't know the meaning of such words 'round these parts! If you can imagine it, you can dream it.

6. That is a very specific technique for lucid dreaming, it's called WILD, Wake Initiated Lucid Dream. It involves going from being awake, to a dream with no lapse in consciousness. It's tough to master, but rewarding. Check the tutorial in the DV Wiki for more info.

There, that's my knowledge. Hope I could be of some help.

Thanks for the lengthy reply dude! Yeah, I am going to try to lucid dream tonight. Wish me luck! Does my version of the MILD method look okay? Are there any things I need to look out for?

Yeah, you pretty much got it, look to Naiya's excellent tutorial for some more complete information
I've had great success with MILD in the past, a lucid dream every night for a full week!
