      A Beginner Lucid Dreamer

      Hello Everyone!

      I'm a Lucid Dreaming beginner and joined DreamViews in search of Lucid Dreaming and to share my experiences with friendly fellow Lucid Dreamers. The concept of Lucid Dreaming is still in fact a concept only learnt three days ago when listening commentary on a YouTube video. I was immediately interested in this and started searching for information as i'm sure many beginners do. Six hours of research later and lots of reading of your wiki I finally felt tired and went to sleep for the night. I woke during the night, around 4-5 hours later but after an estimated 5-20 seconds went back to sleep but this time it was different. I was back in my dream but this time i realized this and said to myself " Hang on, I'm dreaming aren't I?" just as i realized i was having a lucid dream, it ended as quick as it came. My vision went black and loud buzzing started, which woke me up. The next day I begun reading more tips on LDing and have now started keeping a dream journal which is a small leather notebook that i keep next to my bed and are recording around one dream per day in around medium detail. I am now on day three and every night I am waking up around 4-7 hours after going to bed (without an alarm, etc), which i something i have never done previously. It seems as though my sub conscious want me to experience a LD as much as I do. I have been reading about different LDing techniques and the WILD technique looks really interesting, but it seems recommended that you have rather good dream recall before attempting, which is what i have been waiting for. Should i try this now? i'm not too sure.

      I have a few questions though.
      How do I prolong my lucid dreams and stop the vision blackness and the loud buzzing? Also What techniques tend to work for beginners? I realize everyone may have a different one that works for them.

      Thank You for any help you can provide. : )

      Welcome to Dreamviews and congrats on your first lucid!

      I would say, go for it, while you also working on your recall by writing everything in your DJ. If you have another lucid, you will likely wake up after, because it's just something new and exciting, so you will not miss it because of your lack of recall, which is not so bad in the first place.

      Most everybody wakes up from their first lucids, because of excitement. It will get better with more experience.

      When you think your dream has ended and all you see is darkness, you actually may be in a dream. Do a motionless RC "if this was a dream, I would be floating" and if you start floating, you know you are having a lucid dream.

      The buzzing is actually a good thing. Just before a lucid dream, you can hear all kinds of different sounds. If you don't enter a dream when buzzing has stopped, again, do motionless RC, because you may be in a dream.

      More about Sensations and types of entry into WILD.

      What you describing when you woke up at night and got into LD, that was a WILD. Possibly a DEILD, if you just woke up from another dream. So try the WILD. It's easier for some than others. But read a good tutorial first, so you ready for everything a WILD can throw at you. WILD (sageous)

      And at the same time, read and practice for DILDs, so you can start having those. And in general, DILD is easier to start with, and WILDs get easier after you have some experience with DILDs.

      Thank you Gab, it really helped getting some advice on those points. My dream recall is already starting to get better as today i remembered two dreams in pretty good detail. I will also start reading sageous's WILD guides.

      Yo, congrats on lucid dream!
      Yeah, WILD is worth looking into, they are not as hard as people are saying if you have natural preference towards them, especially that considering your first lucid looks like WBTB/WILD.
      Check out links gab posted and also for prolonging lucid dreams you might want to look into stabilization techniques, here's tutorial: Dream Stabilization and Clarity Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
