Hello from the UK

I'm looking forward to asking questions and sharing experiences -- I've already had a lot of benefit from reading the great resources you have here, so thanks to everyone for those.

A bit of background:

I've had 3 unprompted DILDs since August, the first of which led to my interest in LDing. I kept a journal for a few weeks, slacked off, and picked it up again a week or so ago and am going to try to be a bit more consistent with it and see if I can explore this phenomenon a bit more. So far I've logged 35 dreams, 3 lucids and 3 unrelated episodes of SP (which I still find weird but now understand is no big deal).

At the moment I'm mostly trying to weave frequent, sporadic awareness into my daily life. I wake up multiple times in the night naturally so WBTB should be a cinch. I've also started working on WILD when I can, following tutorials here.

Welcome to DV!

Looks like you're on the right track. Make sure the awareness isn't just sporadic but kicks in whenever something out of the ordinary happens. If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Welcome, Bodin!

It sounds like you are doing everything right. Just keep at it and do not give up if it isn't working. It can take time. WILDing is difficult for a lot of people. Make sure you understand it completely so you don't make any mistakes. I recommend you check out this thread: http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/common...-lucid-128950/

If you have any questions, please ask! We are here to help! Best of luck! :D :D :D

Thanks for the links and encouragement -- there's a lot to digest so I'm going to take things slowly. Really glad I found this community though. No doubt I'll have a lot of questions!

From one new member to another, welcome. :)

Now, on the lighter side, you may be excited to learn to fly! Here is a thread where people explain how they went about learning to fly, http://www.dreamviews.com/f14/can-u-...u-learn-40468/

Then just for a laugh here is a thread where people list all the things they want to do in an LD. It is mostly light hearted and supposed to be funny, http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/1000-t...-dream-104556/


Have fun and good luck with your dreaming!
