      Just beginning the journey into lucid dreaming

      I'm 19, British, and have been keeping a Dream Journal and practising MILD (and couldn't resist attempting WILD, albeit unsuccessfully) for around a week now.

      I've so far recognised a DC within my dream, but not become lucid from it, and also recognised a dream scene after waking up and falling back into sleep during the night, but I didn't become lucid in the following dream then, either. It all feels quite promising though, and I'm sure at least part of this is due to lurking on here, so I thought I'd join up and take part. Looking forward to speaking to you all

      Welcome!
      You don't need to recognise a DC or Dream scene to become lucid. More often than not you just become lucid out of nowhere, although you can spot something weird and become lucid from that. But that still requires a certain level of awareness in the dream itself.

      Hi, welcome to dreamviews!

      You sound very enthusiastic, I'm sure you'll have no problem becoming lucid if you stick around here and read up on all the tutorials. Keep at it!

      Welcome to DV!

      Having a dream journal is great and doing RCs is a part of practice to become lucid. If I may suggest, you add some mantras and awareness training to the mix. Together, they work pretty well in inducing DILDs.

      Here is a link for Sporadic Awareness technique
      and for Tutorial for Saying a Mantra - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

      Please post or PM your questions. Happy dreams

      Hey,
      Welcome, your technique sounds pretty good, make sure your recall is good enough to attempt DILDs though!
      If you want extra help why not join the DVA?
      See you around

      Thanks for the welcomes and advice everyone Had a DC asking me last night whether I was in a dream (repeatedly, and quite insistently) and each time I responded 'no' and therefore did not become lucid
