I was just wondering when you had your first lucid dream and what method you used. I had mine at at 20 years after months of practicing the WILD technique. :)

I was just wondering when you had your first lucid dream and what method you used. I had mine at at 20 years after months of practicing the WILD technique. :)
I had my first when I was 5. I didn't use any specific method cause I didn't know about them. I just relaxed, fell asleep and eventually remember being in a dream. It was a scary/weird dream but at the beginning it was really nice.
I had mine about a year / half a year ago, completely by accident. It was MILD and I've never had any luck with WILD. 20 years...that must suck bad, have you managed to obtain it just the once or is it a few times now?
I lucid dream a couple of times a week now, using only the WILD technique :D
I was around 7 and it was because of a recurrent nightmare that eventually I started to realize it was a dream. At the beginning I didn't pay too much attention to it (If I did somehow) during my WL. It just happened from time to time and usually I realized it was a dream because of recurrent dream signs. I didn't know about inducing lucid dreams until I found DV some years ago.
I think I was maybe 5 or 6 and I was at a really crowded busstation and something was hunting me down, some sort of monster but i couldnt really see it. I was holding my mothers hand but suddenly she disapeared. I eventually felt like something wasnt right and I closed my eyes hard and opened them again several times until I actually did so in real life.
I looked up dream control around 13-14 years of age.. joined here when I was 14 to learn more, still have no clue about anything hah
I will assume you mean induced lucid. That was around 10 years ago, it was a WILD done first thing at night. Took me at least 3 hours to fall asleep but managed the WILD, was so excited that I nearly woke myself up and then had to slap myself to stop with the weirdness.
^^ Well, if we're talking about the first induced lucid dream, it was a couple of months after I joined DV. It was a DILD: I was in a cemetery which used to be a recurrent dreamscape, staring at a very old mummy. I was so excited about it, that I destabilized the dream trying to pull a DC out of me right after melting with it in a rush.
8/23/14
I walk into the kitchen in the kitchen which is from my house of course I see a clock. I didn't know what it said but I blink and, it is now +1 minute all of the sudden the clocks minutes go up really really fast I didn't know what was going on the clock -2 Hours. I was suppisous so I look at my hands and have more than 5 fingers...I realize i'm dreaming and, I get excited as I walk into my living room thinking about what to do I think 'I'm post to stay calm.' I calm down...then my eyes close and I wake up. I wake up, I tried to think about what just happened. I perform nose RC and look at my hands and they are normal this expierence was really intense.
That's my First LD
I was about 5 years old and I had been having nightmares every night for months. I eventually started to realize it was a dream because I was having the same basic nightmare over and over and I would wake myself up when it would start to happen.
I put in MILD because that was really the closest thing to my first LD. I fell asleep using autosuggestion and wound up in a dream, already lucid.
My first was at age 4, I was having a recurrent nightmare so one day I decided the next time it happens I will fight the monster instead of running away and thats exactly what happened. Guess you could call it a DILD.
Wow! I've just remembered it was because of something I saw in a Scooby Doo episode that I asked myself if it was not a dream in order to wake up back in the days when I was around 7.Quote:

My first induced lucid dream was in early 2007, when I was 17.
I went hardcore with RCs, setting up 10+ environmental triggers and using an alarm tone every 20 minutes, as well as checking any time I remembered in between. I was lucky that it only took 3 days for this to cross over into my dreams (I had a DILD via RC), and I knew this was going to be a big part of my life. :)
Just like me! except I eventually surrendered to the monster and let it eat me instead of fighting it or running away to finally stop having the nightmares.Quote:
