Thread: Just another quick dumb question from a newbie

I noticed, Sedrick, that you listed everything you are doing to LD in less than 20 words. Though they are important, there really is more to learning to lucid dream than doing RC's, journaling, and recognizing dream signs. Also, three weeks is not a long time.

I suggest you take some more time, learn about the fundamentals (self-awareness, expectation/intention, and memory), look into some of the techniques for achieving WILD's and DILD. If you haven't already, you also should read LaBerge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming as well, as it is an excellent summary of what needs to be done. There are a lot of pieces to assemble in the LD'ing puzzle, and it takes some truly careful assembly to put them properly together. You should be sure to at least have all the pieces on the table before getting started.

Good luck!

Absolutely! Wonderful advice, sir!

Though I must say in my defense, however, yes, I have read Mr. LaBerge's book, and many other articles. I do not confess to know it all, of course. And if using less than 20 words bothers you, I can edit my original post and be more loquacious. But seriously. I thought it would be best to leave things concise. I know how tedious it is reading through long lists written by people who don't know what they're doing.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
