Thread: lucids aren't really happening for me i need some advice!!!!

ok so i have been trying for a freakin year to have a lucid dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and all i have are like half lucids where i never say i'm dreaming and like am pretty much having a dream about lucid dreaming

guys i REALLY need some help here

and i usually change my methods a bunch so do i just need to commit to one method for a while like my WBTB?

thanks for all the help guys

At least you've had some sorta of a Lucid "Half-Lucid". I haven't even had one yet. Well in any case theres plenty of tutorials and members here who can help you. Just be Patience and I grantee you get one. Book it Lock it down this is you can hold me to "YOU "WLLPEREGOY" WILL HAVE A LUCID DREAM" Look around for some expert members like puffin or others am sure they would love to help you Remember be patience I bet you you'll have you Lucid dream before I do. Take it easy. OK.

Write RC on your wrist in magic marker, then do one every time that you see it. Works great, should be doing hundreds of RCs

What ninja said... and also maybe attach a reality check to something you do a lot in waking life... like everytime you walk through a door, think about lucid dreaming and prove to yourself why you aren't dreaming at this very moment (don't to something silly! It's as easy as asking if the room makes logical sense... is the furniture where it should be? Room decorations?). Do two reality checks. Make one something where you have to read something, like the time (the point being to look away a few times and see if the time changes).

thanks guys! and thanks ninja im gonna do that i just wrote RC on my palm so i hope i get some sucess!!!!!

You could always start to experiment with WILD. Since you are starting to WBTB anyways, try including a WILD once a week. Any night of the week when you can sleep in a little.

Keep us up to date with your success ok.

Well it looks like he needs more then just a different RC to do it. Have you tried Audio Aids, like Binaural or Subliminal MP3s? Apparently those can help. But, ya know what you really, really need? Confidence. Plain and simple. I mean, in a year, im sure you tried everything you can find on this site. Now im no pro, but there's one thing I can guarantee you and that everyone agrees on: Think you will fail, and you will. The same way, be 100% sure and your chances are drastically increased. I know it can be a real pain when you had virtually no success, but be down and ur goin nowhere.

From personnal experience, I dont get why people repeat mantras. All it does is keep you up, and it demands a lot of focus. Rather then thinking: I will lucid dream tonight, notice when I am dreaming and do an RC and become lucid, you might wanna try mine, very simple: Luuu(breathe in)...ciiid. Luuuu....ciiid. Slow and steady. That way you can actually focus on falling asleep. I mean, its an entire 10 min mantra compressed in one simple word
And the best advantage is this: When you manage to actually find the confidence required to have a great LD, you can fall asleep fast so its gonna pass down to your dreams. Just a tip, since I got 3 in a row with this . Twice. Or you can just screw mantras altogether! Who cares! You kickass at becoming lucid ! Good luck! Im happy to help!

yeah i have tried lucid dreaming aids and like some subliminal messages

and i guess i just need confidence and commitment

and i think im gonna try a WILD tonight i mean just don't you like get up at night and then like lay in bed but like how do you do it?

i don't really understand the way the tutorial explains so could someone kinda describe the WILD to me?

Sure.

What you want to do is go to bed and set your alarm to wake you up 4-5 hours after or during your REM cycle. You then proceed to wake up and stay up enough like 5 minutes depends on you. Read something on Lucid Dreaming(post something on Dreamviews or something) then lye on your back or what ever is comfortable for you. You then count in your head......1.....2....3....4.....5 and so forth until your body becomes heavy and buzzing feeling on your body that's the SP(Sleep Paralysis) kicking in. You then will see some white blob images and/or hear voices until they become more Vivid and then they will go dark and you will see yourself in dream or still in your bed <- this is F.A do a Reality Check and boom your Lucid Dreaming. I seem like a expert even though I've never had a successful WILD. Good luck though.

Is your room right next to your parents room or Do you not want to disrupt your school day? Still do whatever works best.
