Hi guys! I'm new here . I have heard about lucid dreaming a while back, but never really got the motivation to actually put effort into it, because I knew it is a lot of work. I ended up not thinking about it for a while, but about a month ago, I started getting back into researching all about lucid dreaming. Now I am determined to actually put forth the effort. I have been practicing the basics for almost two weeks now (reality checks, dream journal, and trying out a few different methods), but I need some advice.

I feel like I know well enough about most of the common methods for lucid dreaming; WILD, MILD, WBTB, DEILD, and DILD. So far I have had one lucid dream, that only lasted about 10 seconds, because I got excited and didn't let the dream stabilize (although it was an awesome experience). That dream was because of a DILD. I have also tried a couple other methods: WILD, WBTB, and DEILD.

After doing much, much research, I have come to the conclusion that I should probably set my mind on just one method for a couple of weeks, and only focus on that. I feel like I would really like to learn to WILD, because it is such a powerful method, but it would probably take a long time to master. I feel like I need to have a good amount of successful lucid dreams first, before I start to try and tackle WILDing.

So my question is, what method do you think I should use to start out? Which one is most effective/reliable? I am thinking either WBTB, or DEILD. Or should I try to do WBTB with WILD? What do you think?

Thanks!
