How long did it take you to lucid dream?
I havent done it yet but i have been writing my dreams down for a week, trying a Hypnosis method, doesnt realy seam to work.
It takes years of intense meditation in a Tibet Tantric Resort NOOB!
I started trying to have LD's 9 months ago, had my first LD after 3 weeks, using MILD and Reality Checks. Managed a couple more, with one that was really awesome. Then I had to focus on other stuff so I stoppped trying for like 7 months.
I got back into it a couple months ago. At first just using affirmations, which didn't work at all. About 3 weeks ago I started using Reality checks, my Dream Journal, and a brainwave hypnosis CD, and I had my first LD 2 days ago.
I've had a total of 5 LD's so far. First time it took 3 weeks, this time it took almost 3 months. But I think that's cuz the second time, I was trying to do it with affirmations alone for 2 months. My advice is keep a Dream Journal. Even if you don't like doing it, it's probably the most helpful thing you can do.
Good Luck :wink:
For me it happened by accident. Someone had told me about the idea a few years before. They had told me if i ever realised i was dreaming to look at my hands. I did that, had a trippy lucid dream then came to this forum pretty much.
I was able to increase my abilities and frequency of lucid dreams by trying different techniques, reading books and learning from people on this forum.
I guess the more it was on my conscious mind the more it was on my subconscious mind.
Just take your time and be patient. Good Luck. :)
Peace Sensi.
By "affirmations" do you mean auto-suggestion? ... Like just telling yourself "next time I'm dreaming I will recognize that I'm dreaming"Quote:

??
I *was* using auto-suggestion (which is just another way of saying self-hypnosis), but a specific kind called, "DASH" Dynamically Anchored Self Hypnosis. It's what they call "eyes open hypnosis" where you don't have to be relaxed with your closed.
I had digestive problems for almost a year and after using DASH for a couple weeks they disappeared. But for some reason it didn't make me have Lucid Dreams, I'm not sure why. Maybe I just need to pick better affirmations or something...

For me it took 3 weeks and I had my first LD using WBTB and... a form of MILD, I guess. It was worth the wait, though, and don't get frustrated. The more stressed out you get about it the less likely that they'll come. :mrgreen: They'll come.... They'll come and blow your socks off!

for me, i got my first 1 week after starting reading here,
my second came a month after that.
and nothing since. :(
can't even get into the WILD buzzing stage anymore.
p.s. sorry for not being very chatty in chat today.
Im a natural so its easier for me. I have a tip that helps, Have a 3 hours nap during the afternoon, trhen have a 4 hour awake period then sleep. I find dreams more vivd, easier to remember and more chance of being lucid that way.Quote:

TRron Dont insult me..I Pwnage your Pantz0rz. Lol I wasnt braggin just answering a ?ion. See im upset now. *Cries
I'm just speaking out of hurt :shakehead2:
I've boosted my dream recall from nothing to about 2-3 dreams per night but NOTHING ELSE GOOD HAS HAPPENED. I tried both MILD and WILD with the WBTB method and it just caused me to not be able to fall asleep. I couldnt even enter the hypnogogic imagery state. I've been spending immense amounts of time researching this and I feel cheated by my bastard ego.
When i decided to get more serious and sstart that LD thing, it took me a week. My advice would be not to try and attempt only 1-2 methods and then wake up disappointed... Find one that works best for you, and learn to control your emotions, because when i first got my LD, i got really excited and lost it. Be very aware, dreams can be tricky - like last night i was standing on a street thinking how cool it would be to get an LD, only to wake up later and find out the whole thing was actually a dream...
Well...I started when I was 3, & have been doing it every nite ever since then....does that answer anything? Or am I being a moron again? :oops:
I tried LDing a few times. The first two times nothing happened in a few weeks so I gave up for a while. The third time I found DV and tried. I kept a dream journal for 3 weeks and did regular RCs, but nothing was happening. I decided to use my self-hypnosis that I had been practicing for nearly a year. The night I did the hypnosis I had no dream recall, but the night after that I had an LD. It continued like that for 6 days. One LD a night. My goal was a week of one per night, but I lost it on the last day.
Sweet, ive been trying for almost a week now, i recently had a dream where my self-conscious tricked me, i posted it up in the newbie zone, and my dream recall is getting better, and my body just woke its self up on the exact time at 2:00 am
i got my first LD after 2 days of trying ^^. it was a very weird LD. total blackness and i was paralyzed
I was lucky enough to buy a NovaDreamer when they were still being sold and I had a lucid dream the first time I wore it. :sheepishgrin:
used to have hundreds of LDs naturally when i was little..
Since i came to the forums.. i started having them like 2 or 3 months after signing up (or after about 6 months of looking around the forums), since then i've had about 25..
When i started trying to control lucid dreams it took me a month to get any results
It took me 3 Months to have my first LD.
I started reading things about lucid dreaming in September of last year.
But I didnt have a Lucid Dream until the end of November.
Mine first LD came out of the random.
You paid 700 dollars for one of those?Quote:
