Feel of a Dream

[WinRic]

I am currently trying to have my first LD and trying multiple different methods, and want to add ADA to it. For many of the guides it says to always be aware of if it "feels" like you are in a dream... How do you prepare for that if you've never had a lucid, or do you just get enough dream recall to remember the feeling of a dream? Do you have to have lucid experience to be able to ADA?

You do not need to have been lucid before to do ADA. ADA is a DILD technique and DILD is the recommend technique for beginners. The feel of a dream is just something you can use to help you reality check. If the world doesn't seem normal or correct do a reality check and see if you are dreaming.

ADA is all day awareness... Why would you have to have a lucid dream to be aware all day? When your in a dream, or lucid dream, it just feels different than being awake. In your first lucid, just try to observe the feeling of being there. You will get used to the difference, then just being in a dream can make you lucid.
