Thread: Newbie, still trying for my first LD..!

Welcome Nicho! It's great to have you here. Congratulations on taking those first steps! You can learn a ton here. I certainly have.

I was lucky enough to get my first taste of lucid dreaming by accident, but my second LD took a couple more months of solid work figuring things out. If you put in the work and time, remain patient with yourself, and always keep learning, you will succeed.

One of the hardest things for me was tackling the hobby of lucid dreaming all on my own without much of a support system. The folks on this site were a tremendous help in sharing with me, encouraging me, and inspiring me as I learned how to lucid dream.

If you're interested, the place where I got my start was the DreamViews Academy Intro Class. You can find it here: Intro Class (OpheliaBlue RareCola CanisLucidus Chimpertainment Xanous) This is a great way to share progress, get some personalized support, and learn from a lot of the same instructors that taught me when I was starting out.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or to PM me or any of the other DreamGuides and we'll be happy to help you out.

I have started my dream journal, I have just started practicing ADA and I have been doing reality checks for a while, also WILDs (I know this is unlikely as a first LD), but it gives me a mindset at bed time that I want to lucid dream.

I am envious of all you "time served" lucid dreamers and I can't wait for my first experience, I have felt a little disheartened as of late due to the fact that I have been trying for quite some time now, but I just read the post by KingYoshi about ADA and I have been refreshed towards my thinking. Anyone who even just read the post may have noticed that as you read, you became more aware, it was a really strange feeling, a buoyant sense of awareness came over me and I was excited. So I'm going to keep up the ADA and along with other tips and tricks I learn on here or elsewhere, I hope to get there very soon.

Any advice or pointers to posts that may be relevant to anyone who has yet to achieve lucidity would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to becoming an active member of your forum, it seems like a veritable fountain of knowledge and I will be splashing in on a daily basis.

Cheers folk,
Nicho...!

Those are several really outstanding pieces of advice, JoannaB. Very nicely written.

Heh, thanks. Yeah, there's just something about wolves. (Plus, this fellow looks a bit like my dogs.) Glad you like the profile pic!
