Thread: Closer to Lucidity?

I've been recalling pretty vivid dreams more often after implying the MILD technique. All my dream worlds are really vivid and filled with color. For example, in a recent dream I was talking to a friend of mine while walking through my school campus. It was raining, yet bright outside. I could even see water droplets on my dream glasses. Anyways a dragonfly start to buzz in my face, so I try to smack it away. The feeling of hitting the bug felt very real, and I even thought how annoying and weird the bug was. However, I forgot about the rest of the dream thereafter. I didn't gain control of the dream, but I had a conscious thought that and physical sensation that felt real multiple times.
P.S I'm going to try the FILD method tonight. Any tips? Also are the any common foods or drinks that supplement lucid dreaming.

Well yeah, I would say that getting more vivid and "real" dreams is a sign that you are making progress with trying to lucid dream.

No idea of FILD though, so sorry.

Apple juice supposedly makes dreams more vivid.
