Thread: First post, MANY questions.

My god that sounds amazing. I am very excited to do it. The problem is I don't really know where to start. I personally feel like I don't seem to have dreams. I know it sounds kinda stupid seeing how we all technically have dreams every time we sleep, But I haven't really had a dream for a very long time now. Also I have some more questions if you don't mind answering them

How long have you been doing it?

Is it dangerous?

Does it get easier?

Does recalling dreams get easier?

When I start recalling my dreams easily, will I start to actually see these dreams? Like actually see the dreams? Like, not a lucid dream, but a normal one?

So yea thanks for the previous answers

I've been doing it since feb/march time. I spent around a month doing solid research into sleeping and dreaming and then put everything I had learned into action. Within the last month I feel I have been making serious progress.

No. There is no danger involved at all, as everything you experience within a dream doesn't actually exist; it's just a figment of your imagination in a very complex form.

Yes, and I can testify of this 100%. When I first started out I rarely had lucids, but these days I have at least 2 every week (it's usually more as I chain lucids using the DEILD method).

Again, yes. At first you won't remember much, but give it some time and you'll be remembering 2-3 dreams a night (or more) with amazing detail!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean: will you remember non-lucid dreams as clear as lucid dreams?

Ah the last question was answered with your answer for one of my other questions.

Anyways thanks for the help guys I appreciate it I'm going to go to sleep soon. Hopefully I can remember my dream tomorrow

Like you said, we dream everytime we sleep You're just not remembering them, no at all, i don't mind!

How long have you been doing it? Since my join date
Is it dangerous? It is dangerous sleeping?
Does it get easier? Absolutely!
Does recalling dreams get easier? YES. Dream recall gets so much easier once you make an effort to do it. Start with a dream journal. Mine is a A4-sized book within arm's reach. Do you wake up naturally throughout the night? If you do, excellent, that should make your dream recall easier already. If you don't, drink a big glass of water just before you go to sleep. Once you wake up, as i said in my previous answer, just lay there as if you were going to sleep, once a fragment of a dream is recalled, roll over and start writing. Work with what you remember initially and work forwards or backwards, depending on part of the dream your fragment is from. If you feel something happened before what you remember, try and work backwards with what you had.
When I start recalling my dreams easily, will I start to actually see these dreams? Like actually see the dreams? Like, not a lucid dream, but a normal one? Hell yeah. Believe me, once your recall gets good, you'll be ALMOST as excited to dream normally as lucid dreaming. You'll discover a whole new world your subconscious makes up. Zombie dreams, fantasy dreams, weird dreams, funny dreams. It's like free entertainment, if you will

Hi, Timbo! Welcome to Dreamviews! By the way you DO have dreams everynight, you're just not remembering them. Check out this dream recall tutorial to learn how to start remembering them.

Not at all. I was worried if it was dangerous when I first joined too, but I have had hundreds of lucid dreams with no bad side effects.

Yes, it does. Just like with every skill, as you practice it more it will get easier.

I'm not really sure what you mean like this. As you practice recall you will start to remember more and more little details of the dream.
