Thread: Getting back into lucid dreaming, but seems I had forgotten everything :/

Anyway, I have an UPDATE!

I had a lucid dream last night! I woke up at 4 or so and I was a little disappointed because I didn't even have any significant dreams I remembered. I didn't want to disappoint anyone following my progress in this thread so I was determined to at least have some vivid dreams in the following two hours of sleep, if not lucid dream.

I think I got lucid in my dream just because I was thinking about dreaming while in my dream. I was feeling a little frustrated from not being able to recall any dreams from the whole night, and that frustration transferred to the dream. I think that eventually just made me lucid, but my dream was very cloudy and not vivid at that point. It kept fading in and out, but I waited a few minutes, just trying to observe stuff around me until it all became stable. After everything stabilised, I did my dream goals and had a pretty great time Can't wait to have more.

I think this thread was very helpful for me, I might have just given up last night if I didn't feel a little pressured to succeed. Thank you everyone who gave me advice!

Awesome, really well done, knew you could do it. Now since you found your pattern in going lucid, you can experiment with it by mixing it up and finding which way brings lucidity faster.

Also I would begin practicing DEILD once going lucid gets as easy as waking up out of bed for the day. Again Congratulations you have a great gift when it comes to awareness, there's a lot more level's to obtain. Have a nice journey.

Thank you! Getting a hang of DEILD seems like the next goal for me, I think I have done it a few times before but most of my attempts are unsuccessful as of now. I only used it to chain lucids I think. Getting it to be more reliable would be great!

I might also try giving WILD a proper try, it seems cool, even though it hasn't really worked for me unfortunately.

I think having dream goals which I am excited for is what really helps me the most. I was really excited for my previous lucid dream, which I think helped me a lot in actually achieving it. I plan on putting together a list of ideas so I can have things to do in my dreams all the time, instead of just flying around once I am lucid, which is what I do when I don't have a plan, and usually I wake up very soon or lose lucidity if I don't have a goal.
