Hello guys and gals!:)

I'm relatively new to lucid dreaming, I didn't even knew it was possible to control our dreams before watching Inception and researching a bit about the topic, although I had a very scary experience as a small child, a freaky dream about my grandmother who passed on, when I realized I was in a dream and struggled to wake up.
I didn't use to remember most of my dreams, but as I started a dream journal a few days ago my ability to recall dreams has dramatically improved and it's seems that my dreams are magically getting more exiting and vivid too, and this morning I failed WILDing but had an awesome dream, sadly as I realized that I was dreaming I got too excited and woke up. Now that I developed an interest in lucid dreaming and I'm looking forward to learn a lot here, wish me luck!

Welcome to dreamviews

Lucid dreams are amazing and you should't let fear stop you from achieving them

And don't feel bad about WILDing.. I've tried it countless times and failed, I'd suggest practicing MILD & DILD

Thank you!
That's what I plan to do, WILD actually seems pretty difficult to me as a beginner who doesn't know much about relaxation techniques, I can't seem to shut down my awareness of the surroundings and always end up frustrated and annoyed, and then I'll just decide that sleeping is a lot more pleasant thing to do and give in.

Welcome to DV

WILD is quite a complex technique to start with which is why I recommend trying another technique if you don't get it the first few times, you can always come back to it later. The fact that you have already had a lucid is great and I'm sure you will have many more, nonetheless I wish you luck in future lucid exploration

Thank you! I'll keep my fingers crossed this wasn't just beginner's luck, since I didn't become aware by using a reality check, the realization just popped into my head out of nowhere.
