hey everyone. I'm Jarradical, from Australia. Ive just started trying to lucid dream.

I want to start dreaming because of two reasons- Inception (Im sure a lot of other people were influenced by this aswell!) and to benefit as a musician. A good friend of mine, who is something of a prodigy, lucid dreams every night, and often uses this time to practise his instrument.

On my first night i attempted what i think is the WILD technique. colours began flashing before my eyes, and i felt i was entering another state, and became quite anxious, and couldnt stop myself from pulling back to reality.

On my second night, i told myself i would wake up after every dream, and kept pen and paper next to my bed. I imagined myself spinning down into a room at a school.
I was not able to achieve lucidity, but i dreamed about being at school, and woke up after one of my dreams. I wrote down everything i could remember about this dream, and 1 other dream from the night i could remember.

Tonight is my 3rd night. I plan on doing the same as last night. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
