Thread: Hello!

welcome to DV
as your new , you should just stick with writing a DJ , having consistent sleeping and at least 7-8 hours of sleep daily to give you a better recall and once you get the hang of it , you should move on and choose a LD induction method and work on it
have fun

Welcome to DreamViews Frostbite! I was going to mention the dream journal as well, so good for you for starting one, as well as doing the reality checks. You may also want to check out the tutorials section. There you will find several methods for attaining lucidity. Different ones work better for different people.

Good Luck!

Welcome! I am also new here - and new to lucid dreaming.

Hi there, Frostbite and welcome~
Just a key note to reality checks, make sure you do them with the intent that your RC will be successful as if it were a dream. On top of that, try not to do reality checks half-heartedly, really question your reality.

Sorry to ask my own personal questions in someone else's topic, but I was wondering something.

I think I do reality checks half-heartedly in real life alot. Because I find myself doing them half-heartedly in dreams alot. Not to the point of never ever having lucid dreams, but enough to be annoying as heck. I was thinking about this at work earlier today.

Basically, how would you, for example fOrceez, perform a reality check, that in your best opinion was completely thorough, not lacking in self awareness, and most likely to work as a proper RC in a dream? I have been doing RCs since I was 4, without knowing what they were (ask me sometime what "L T, I remembered!" meant sometime).

In my opinion, the best way to do a reality check would be to first think "I should reality check", followed with looking around, feeling the "atmosphere" seeing as dreams have a particular sixth sense "feel" about them. From there, i'd do my reality check, followed by just inspecting the room. Since trying to take upon Tibetan dream yoga, i'd follow those thoughts up with "This dream is really vivid, I can even feel my socks on" on something of the like. The dream yoga teaches the mindset that dreams and waking life are one reality; so you're "lucid" all the time

Interesting. What's Tibetan dream yoga? I'll google it.

Thanks fOrceez
