I DID IT! Last night, I had a lucid dream! It was a bit strange, and I'll probably be making a thread about it later on. Basically, I did a WILD when I was already in a normal dream, and this evolved into a lucid one that involved phasing through walls, summoning fire, and flying.
That sounds like a really cool ld! Congrats!

I feel like now that I've had a lucid dream, the frequency of them will come with persistence and time. Now that I've made that step, I want to focus on making my dreams more vivid.
Yes, it's very important to keep up the practices like critical thinking and ADA. ADA can also help with dream vividness. As for making lds more vivid, you can try engaging more senses while in the dream, take time to examine little details, etc.
