Am I Close?

Okay, its my first time trying to have a Lucid Dream! Im also New to DreamViews.

Im not for sure if i did have a Lucid dream or not and im also not for sure on how to start out the dream while im trying to have a lucid dream and lying in bed.

Well heres what i did:

1. I took my dream book out lol and i wrote down a goose hunting dream. I took very good details on the hunting story. Like i made some dream clues. Like i had hand warmers and i took my hands out and rub them together and i also wrote Hunt on my left hand lol. Another one of them was when we shot the geese i jumped 20 yards and picked them up.

2.I went upstairs and i read my goose hunting story about 3 times and i pictured it all the way through and i even was imageing it in my hand while i was trying to sleep. I was also saying im gona have a Lucid dream to night and i will be able to control it. I think i have a good Dream Recall but uhmm. Last night i had like so many different dreams and they only lasted like 5min haha.

3.I finaly fell asleep thinking about and pictuing in my head goose hunting. While i was asleep i dont think i said im having a lucid dream or im just imaging things i kinda remember saying that i and kinda dont. The only thing i remember was that i was in First person mode and this guy was flexing and showing his mucles off(i workout lol that could be why xD) and i told my self wow hes small or somthen like that and i jumped off the buidling or like a 50 yard jump and hit the ground and then i might of died or somthen idk if i woke up or what but wait....

I had a very quick dream about me shooting a gun and holding it up and that kinda goes with my hunting story and shooting the gun at the geese but i dont know guys :/ im just starting out and i really want to Lucid dream. I really want to have these alot to make my life more fun and happier =).

I went to bed at 4:30am and set my alarm at 6:30am and also at 9am to see if i remeber them i only remember them 2, the others were just random and quick dreams.

------- Well sorry guys if i wasted your time Reading this :/, i just want to know if im getting closer and what I NEED TO DO to GET even Closer and fully control and able to change my dreams and everything else.
Could you guys give me tips on how to start out on a dream and what to do or what you do when you fall asleep in bed and you dream about that or have a lucid dream?

Thanks, syst3m.

Welcome to Dream views. To be counted as lucid, you need to be aware of the ffact that you arre in fact dreaming, while the dream is still taking place. It sounds like that was not the case, so it would not be a lucid. However, you did pull off 'Dream Incubation', which means creating an expectation that you will dream of certain things, and having it happen. That is a great sign. Keep it up!

Welcome!

Here is a link you can start with:
Beginners guide

You will learn about different techniques and much more. I recommend to start with DILD method. It should be easiest. It will also teach you about practicing awareness, that will be helpfull in other methods as well. Here is a collection of techniques that you need for DILD, should you decide to start with this one. Happy dreams

Are you trying to incubate a specific dream, or become lucid?

**syst3m** · 09-08-2012 02:48 AM

well pretty much trying to become Lucid.. I want to have LD's also 4 nights have past and i guess i have shitty Recall.. Cuz i cant remember no dreams past 4 nights and i have been practinv.. Things that ive done are: Fish Oil, Mantras,Relax, Thinking of dream, and idk.??

Consider honestly if you are using any intoxicants. Fun as drinking or smoking may be, they both hurt the recall process, and cause other problems that limit how effective your ability to LD is.
