Hi! Just got here, super excited to see how the community can help me have more frequent, and more vivid lucid dreams.

I have had 2 lucid experiences before, both started when I questioned if I was in a dream and immediately knew without any reality checks that I was. I have been trying only for a couple of months now and had these 2 lucid dreams or, moments? (one lasted 10 seconds and I got too excited and the other about 40 seconds and again I got too excited)

And the last couple of days I have tried the WILD technique. (It was actually sleep paralysis that inspired me to try lucid dreaming.) I have been unsuccessful, the one and only thing that holds me back is the wetness/dryness of my mouth. Ive made it to the transition stage and had hallucinations, but the fact that my mouth was hanging open and I had to swallow and move my tounge around to make my mouth wet took me out of it.

Does anyone else experience this? How do I let this problem go to the back of my mind? What can I do to keep my mouth from drying up, or having too much saliva to swallow?
