I've been lucid dreaming on and off for years, but I've come here to solidify my skills and make it a life long practice.
Glad to be here, hope you all can teach me a thing or two about how to better my life through this conscious dreaming phenomenon. :)
Well hey GhostofBruckman (cool name hah!), welcome to DreamViews! :party:
So you say you've been lucid dreaming on and off for a while, just curious, how do you ordinarily do it? I would love to hear your personal experiences. Before I found DreamViews, I just kinda got lucky and had them randomly.
Hi there, GhostofBruckman :D welcome to DV!
Hopefully you can find information here and in turn we can learn a few things from you ;) Enjoy your stay here!
Hello all, I've been working at LD for a few years on and off. Recently very much on. A buddy of mine and I made a DIY pair of "nova dreamer" goggles which have a timer in them, but not a REM detector. It has been somewhat successful. I have seen the lights in dreams, but still need to work in training myself to respond to the cue. I also have been experimenting with another DIY gadget. I made some headphones out of a fleece headband. I took the speakers out of a decent pair of headphones and sewed them into the headband with a comfy covering. I'm listening to various things at night to cue me. I'd love some suggestions on tracks to add to my playlist. I have made some tracks with me talking to my sleeping self and tried to time the playlist to have the talking ("You're dreaming...this is a dream...do a reality check..etc..") occur during REM, though I am just sort of doing an approximation.
I live just a few hours drive from R Waggoner and am scheduling a workshop here with him as presenter. Excited about that as well. Building a community of dreamers to explore shared dreams etc...
Peace to you all! -M
I have a book by Stephen LeBarge (Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming) so I've read most of that throughout the past few years.Quote:

Yeah alot of folks have trouble with that transition, myself included.
Here's something that might be of help to you: Wild Tutorial (namely, Phase 4: Transition).
Oh wow, thank you! Practice makes perfect but it'll be nice to have a guide to help along the way.
