Hi and welcome! Lucid dreaming is getting more and more publicity, and it is VERY real. Everyone has dreams. Would it be so strange to become aware while dreaming? Well no, but the tricky part is to do it.

Finding dreamsigns is something you should try out. We often dream about specific things. When you train yourself to ask if you're dreaming when you see a dreamsign, your chances of becoming lucid increases. You're on your way with the recall, which is perfect! Keep on practicing and soon you'll remember alot of them.

WBTB is a great technique. By staying up for 30-40 minutes, focusing on having a lucid dream when you go back to bed, you increase your chances ALOT. I really like this technique, and it was a success the first few attempts I tried it.

1. Dream recall.
2. Think / read alot about lucid dreaming, daydream!
3. Realitychecks / dreamsigns.
4. Set up a simple goal for your first time, and imagine becoming lucid and achieving it.

This is all you need to start out with. You will be able to DILD with just that. MILD is when you have intentions, tell yourself you will become lucid just before bed, do mantra work and often combined with meditation.

You might have your first lucid tonight! Belief is VERY strong when it comes to lucid dreaming, but there's a chance that it will take some time. To stay focused and motivated, you should cheerish having awesome dreams. Even if you aren't lucid, they're still awesome adventures right?

There are tons of stuff to read on this forum. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or any of the other Dream Guides.

Keep on dreaming!
