Thread: hi I'm new but very very interested

It sounds like you are off to an excellent start. Is it refreshing to be excited about dreaming again, after some time being put off by nightmares?

Hey there!

Good to see you're keeping a dream journal.

Check out this http://www.dreamviews.com/f20/beginn...eaming-124786/ if you haven't already.
Just wondering, what are you pairing WBTB with? Take a look at this, it has a list of the different techniques and a short description of each: http://www.dreamviews.com/f151/begin...son-ii-131245/


If you have any questions, let us know!

Hmm I would personally choose WBTB+MILD. It's what I did when I first started, and it turned out to be the best technique that suited me. I have experimented with different techniques now but I always go back to WBTB+MILD every now and then. For me, it is relatively easier and does not require as much mental preparation as WILD, which is what I needed when I first started out. But that's just me though, it can totally differ for everyone.

I suggest doing anything under DILD for your first few weeks, but don't think of it as a limitation though! If you really wish to try WILD, go ahead

Oh and don't worry about not being able to recall your dreams last night. It is pretty common, and I'm sure you'll be fine in no time. Just keep trying to recall them as much as you can, and the more you put effort into it (even if it doesnt work), the more your subconscious will put importance into it, and soon you will be able to recall them easily.

Good luck

Thanks your really helpful its good to talk to someone any1 I no that I try telling this think I'm going mad. Yh I would like to try MILD sounds a bit easier I constantly ask myself during the day am I dreaming does this really help. Can I ask wat it is actually like to lucid dream cuz I'm excited even tho I have to put some work into it and it might take a while. I read one of your dj sound like you have a good. Time when lucid.

To be honest, some of the lucids are really short, and sometimes with no control at all. But most of the time, especially when I really dedicate myself to the technique and practices, the lucids are really worth all the attempts.

It feels absolutely awesome when you suddenly realize it's a dream, and all of it is created by your mind while your body is asleep. It's so surreal. And to top it all off, you can do anything at all! Fly, shoot lasers out of your hands, go to space, morph, etc. Just the thought of exploring a world all to your own everytime you sleep is what keeps up my enthusiasm to lucid dream.

Sounds amazing and yh that's is what's driving me to carry on I'm gettin a little frustrated at the moment cuz I'm tryin really hard during the day and also before I go to bed. Last night I can recall three dreams that I can remember well I've wrote the down in my dreAm journel as soon as I open my eys I'm just tryin to get my head round how when in a dream you will ask yourself is this a dream. If you no what I mean.

Yeah I know what you mean. I guess just keep up what you're doing. Put importance on your dreams and recall, and try to practice awareness as much as you can. I think that if you learn to be very aware of your surroundings while awake, you will also learn to be aware when you're dreaming, and that will make you get lucid. So do that, and always question your reality too.

This might give you an idea of what I' talking about: http://www.dreamviews.com/f49/all-da...gyoshi-113253/

Thanks for giving me thta link it really helped even tho I jus started it last night I was able to recall my dreams better I've bin doin it most of today aswell also some more good progress last night afer waking up to write two of my dreams down as I was falling back to sleep I started to dream again and can remember questioning weather it was a dream or not but a soon as I did the dream fadded and I woke up is this a good sign.

If you were starting to question whether or not you are dreaming, you are getting very close. Did you realize it was a dream? Sometimes the feeling of waking up will make me realize I am dreaming. Frustrating, since it also means the dream is ending.

I no I was still asleep and It was a dream I think that's why I ask my self is it a dream bit then everything went blurry and it kinda just drifted away and I couldn't get back. Then I woke up feelin very disapointed
