Thread: First Lucid dream!! Disappointing...why?

Congratulations on the first lucid dream.

Don't worry, it comes with time. Lucid dreaming is, after all, a skill. You don't just start playin' some Prokofiev or Sorabji when you start playing piano, y'know.

At this point, growth, if you are truly motivated and willing to learn, is exponential. I'm sure that despite the the feeling of disappointment, there was also a feeling of elation as a result of your success. Take that, pull of more WILDs, MILDs, DILDs, or DEILDS, and practice and hone the essential skills you'll need to master lucid dreaming. Now it's all about mastering dream control, dream stabilization, dream vividness, dream recall (to have even more dreams), you get the point. The best part is that most of these basics tie in with each other. Get really good at stabilization, and you'll likely be great at dream control as well. If you get great vividness, you'll likely be getting excellent dream recall as well.

Good luck!
