Thread: First Few Lucid Dreams Are Good

I'm guessing you haven't been on for a few years, but since this dead thread has been revived I'll post in case any random beginner checks it out <.<

I'd say work on increasing recall. You may not remember all of the dream, and so you may not have memory of each moment of lucidity.
Try the stability/control techniques. Rubbing hands, spinning, shouting certain phrases as yuriy mentioned..check out the tutorial section for help on control.
As for the actual content of the lucid...not amazed/excited? If an ld is boring, it's because of you..there are so many things to do, you're just lacking ideas You can get plenty by searching the forums.

Yeah I think what happens is I get too overwhelmed and I can't think of what to do. My plan now is to have tasks lined out beforehand.... Also, a theory I have is that if one feels sleepy, unmotivated etc... in thier lucid dream its' probably because thier mind in real life is re-energized and ready to wake up. And when one has very vivid and energetic lucids it's because thier physical mind still needs rest...

on that particular morning I had already slept for 9 hours and was forcing myself to LD

interesting. I find that most of my lucids occur at around 4-5 am, later ones are usually not as vivid but need more time to pay attention to this before drawing any conclusions.

yeah, it's just a theory, but it makes sense. I've had lucids at 4-6am and they are VERY vivid, while the ones I have at 8-10 are harder to control, blurry etc... I can never lucid during naps either, although I havn't tried a whole lot
