Hey all. Looking for some advice.

I have been researching lucid dreaming for a while now, and think I know my stuff. I have had one lucid dream, a DILD, which was brought on by looking at a digital watch and seeing random letters flying across the screen. Needless to say, I want more. I have tried to have WILD dreams a dew times, but never really get past relaxation. I feel relaxed though... What do you think is the easiest/best way to induce a lucid dream? (for a beginner) Thanks

Welcome to Dream Views, bb316! Personally, I tend to think the Wake-Back-To-Bed method is the easiest way to induce a lucid dream. As far as established techniques go, it's easily the technique that I've had the most success with. For me, WILD's are extremely difficult. I've only had a couple of them, and they were all during WBTB. Even if I try to WBTB and don't get a WILD, I usually end up having a DILD. So if you don't mind waking up a little earlier than usual, and then going back to sleep, I would definitely suggest you experiment with WBTB for a week or two, and see what you can come up with.

To elaborate on what Oneironaut was saying...I think he was talking about DEILD(dream exit induced lucid dream), which i think is basically the same thing but different names...anyways, yes i've had many, many DEILD's.. it is honestly the easiest way to get lucid but what you need to realize is that you go through a stage of sleep paralysis, which can be very scary for many. I've taught myself that nothing can hurt me and i will be completely fine and i should relax until i enter the dreamworld. You should go ahead and check out the forums about ways to become lucid and from that dream control. It would be in your best benefit dude. P.S. i know i may look like a noob, but i recently just found this site and wanted to contribute my knowledge. So please take me seriously. im not kidding. haha
