Thread: Hi everyone! New here and would like some quickanswers.

Welcome!

Make sure your RC's are more than trying to push your finger through your hand, really question your reality whenever you see something strange or out of the ordinary.

A: Yes, I believe that visualizing yourself in 3rd person might trick your brain into thinking you're only watching someone else.

B: Nope, sleep the way you feel is most comfortable. People have reported reaching SP more easily if they're sleeping on their back, but sleeping positions shouldn't affect your dreaming.

Always visualize in 1st person. When you are daydreaming, take yourself from where you are and what you feel right then and then go to where you want to be, either by teleporting, flying, running. I do this a lot when laying in bed, so when I have a FA I know exactly what to do, and when I go lucid I don't need to think too hard about where to go to have fun.

welcome to dreamviews! Seems like you have read a lot about LDing, I would recommend Exploring the World of Lucid Dreams. I do not know anyone that has read through it without getting a lucid dream. The people with 3 stars above their name are here to answer any questions you have.

My personal opinion:
Count every barely lucid as lucid
When you wake up you start questioning whether or not it was lucid, but when you were asleep, you knew you were dreaming
count all layer zero lucid dreams
But not as lucid dreams, just as a win
enjoy all dreams
Sometimes you might go on a dry spell, but don't worry about them. Love all your dreams. Nothing keeps you from having lucids then thinking that you are in the middle of a dry spell
Set goals
OK, I stole this from Stephen Laberge. You need to set goals, how many LDs you want by the month's end, what you want to do in those lucids. Set long and short term goals. Don't make them too hard that you get disheartened, but don't make them a walk in the park (Actually that sounds like a fun dream to me )
