Thread: First LDs!

So, I had my first "intentional" lucid dream a couple of days after reading about it and finding this forum. But then I did not have another one until last night, or so I'm assuming. It seems like I remain very calm for a beginner, almost indifferent to the fact that I am conscious about it being a dream. I find that odd.

In my first lucid dream I flew and summoned a celebrity. =)

In the second one I was trying to think of what I wanted to do, then I tried to recreate a situation to try and determine the possible outcomes (if you know what I mean), but then I lost lucidity very quickly... within 30 seconds.

Also, I remember one time when I was very young that I had a weird lucid dream where I was able to pick a dream out of 4 choices! Haha

sounds like you're well on your way, which technique did you use?

Haha good, good. It's a really exciting idea, lucid dreaming.

The first dream was a DILD, the second one was a WILD.

I know, when you think of all the possibilities...
I'm actually pretty new too, i have had a few DILDs and some WBTB lucid dreams, but never anything else :/
What you should do when you become lucid(no matter which technique) is not overthink it, maybe spin in a circle or jump. When you are calm, look at your surroundings, walk around, and do something productive (i.e. quests xD) Alternatively, you can set a goal before you go to sleep. (i.e. tell yourself "i will become lucid tonight and catch a fish with my bare hands) nothing too complicated, and you can always just fool around if you finish it.
How did you achieve the WILD? thats the hardest one for me =/

The first time I became lucid I did a lot of spinning and I yelled "more clarity" quite a few times which seemed to work. But the second time I was just standing around trying to recreate the event. The two times I have became lucid have been when I was setting goals before I went to sleep. if WILD is what I think it is then my friend called me and woke me up, I just ignored the call, and when I fell back to sleep I immediately realized I was in a dream - but then I lost lucidity quickly. What is WBTB? Is that the one where you wake up in sleep paralysis then fall back to sleep?

You wake up, and stay in bed, and sorta will yourself into a dream, its not hard at all.
That has happened to me before, try spinning, you could end up somewhere else inside a fully created dream, often when you stop spinning youare in a different place. If everything fails, make yourself wake up, and do the WBTB.
