Needy newbie here ;D

Hello! So last night I attempted to lucid dream for the first time and failed; though, that's not surprising since I didn't do much to induce it. Dreaming is a subject that I have always been interested in, and I have always wished to have the ability of lucid dreaming. Today I found this forum and hoped that maybe the people here will be able to help me start off.

From some research, I saw something about lucid dream inducing videos to watch before falling asleep but I'm not able to find any. Perhaps you guys could send me in the right direction? :D

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! I hope I'll be able to fit into the Dream Views community :]

Welcome! First of all, do you keep a dream journal? If not you should, it's key to getting better recall. I recommend Puffin's DILD tutorial couple with a MILD techinique, and this for any videos.

Edit: Got it.

BillyBob. Use anything and everything ever written by BillyBob. Mzzkc and Naiya also have some pretty darn cool tutorials up. I recommend them all highly.

I'll for sure check them out. Thanks!

So, I started a dream journal when I woke up today (handwritten), but sadly did not become lucid in any of my dreams last night :(

Which technique do you suggest for first-timers? DILD? I attempted that yesterday, but I suppose it just needs time and patience?

LD takes time to work. It varies heavily by individual of course, but you can probably expect your first one within 2 to 4 weeks. At most, the outer edge of the norm is 3 months before your first one, but even this is quite unusual. Just stick with it, and you'll become lucid. :)

Yeah. That's what I expected. I have a horrible patience ;D Thanks a lot for answering my questions.

Same here but keeping one has made me focus more on what I want out of them. I post in the DJ only when I have something memorable and my dream have become much more so after doing this.

Best of luck!
