Hi guys, I'm new here

I haven't had any lucids before but I hope to get some soon, I have read most of the tutorials and am very excited.

DEILD and MILD sound the best xD

I hope to talk to many nice people here and have lots of fun.

Hi and welcome to Dream Views! There is no technique that is "the best". It's all individual, and some people get lucid way more often by doing DILD rather than MILD, some can't do DILD/MILD but rely on WILD.

I suggest you try them all out and see which one fits

I myself use Daily Awareness, MILD and WBTB combined to get Lucid.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Welcome to DV

As Matte said, there's no technique that will work for 100% of people, it all depends on what you find best to use. Also, all the techniques are basically variants of the DILD and WILD techniques, I think DEILD is a variant of WILD, as you wake up into sleep paralysis and go straight into a lucid dream from there.

Hi there, newbie! It's good that you're excited about lucid dreaming. I remember being so excited when I first joined that I had a lucid right away. Good luck to you; I hope you'll enjoy yourself here on DV. Happy dreaming!

Thanks for the replies, I really feel at home here because this seems like a very active forum with nice people

I dont think that I will get as advanced as you guys though

I wanted to know if during a WILD, wehn you feel very heavy and you see swirling lights, what is supposed to happen next and what do you have to do to reach the next step. Thanks people

It sounds like you're entering sleep paralysis. You should keep lucid dreaming in your mind at this point, and try to ignore everything else like heaviness or lights, etc, and you'll enter the dream at a point. My advice at this point is this: don't be curious or even excited about whether you'll lucid dream or not; simply expect to have a lucid dream in the first place. Confidence plays a big role in lucid dreaming, along with effort, so if you don't get immediate progress with WILDs, don't be discouraged. Keep at it!

I dont think that I will get as advanced as you guys though

What makes you say that? All of us had 0 lucid dreams at some point, you just need to have the motivation to see it through
