I know lucid dreaming for a long time now. I first heard of it way back in 2003 or something, and since then I've been on and off during sparse periods analyzing, studying and trying. As you guys can see, I'm registered here since 2007, but I never really posted, only read. Well, now that I got some time and more interest about it, I want to actually get my hands dirty, instead of just trying for a couple weeks and forgetting about it.

I've had a few lucid dreams in the past, mostly DILDs, and I also started a very short lived dream jounal in the past, which I am updating its structure and I'm looking foward to register information on it everyday.

Well, so, like most amateurs, I want a quickstart. I gathered all the info about methods and tips that I could, added to those that I already knew, and I decided my approach, even if my choice is not effective for now, and may not be for some time.

That's what I wanted your opnions about. I chose WILD. Even not having a great dream recall as of yet, (was better in the past, but I can easily work on it) and not a lot experiece with it, I chose it and I started trying yesterday, using the simple method of setting an alarm clock to wake me up 90 minutes before I usually do, and then going right back into bed, trying to focus in WILDing. This morning, I was able to recall a dream, and, believe it or not, I counted two false awakenings followed by real ones after the reality check.

About my method, what do you guys can suggest/comment about it? In my current position, what are the do's and dont-do's?

I know it's fairly soon to be posting this question, and I should just see for myself for this next couple of weeks, but I just wanted to start posting, and therefore I didn't wanted to do it from nowhere. So here's my startpoint. And hello there again dreamviews .


PS: Sorry if I should have posted this under the newbie forum, I felt that here was more adequade since I'm not exactly a complete newbie, and this is not exactly a "what is ld?" thread. Mods, feel free to move if I'm wrong.
