Hello everyone, I first learned about lucid dreaming about 2-3 years ago. I only just started taking it seriously, and I found out that it can be easy if you if you are commited! So far I can at least remember one dream a night or more. But this only happens when I tell myself I will remember my dreams each night. I am trying to achieve an LD through the DILD method. I'm to scared to do WILD. Ive never experienced sleep paralysis while my mind is awake and my body is asleep. When I awake from dreams I can move my body immedietly. But I would like to experience a false awakening to see how it feels.
But I need help! I have been doing reality checks, and I did some in my dreams last night (I remember 2 dreams), but for some reason trying to put my finger does not work, also for some reason I only had 4 fingers and one thumb on both hands. Usually I have extra fingers but not this time! :(
So I plugged my nose and tryed to breath and it worked! But unfortunately it did not trigger a lucid dream......it should have.
I also read a digital clock in my dream, the clocks were everywhere becuase they were placed on the house where the adress was supposed to be. And instead of reading 5:59, the clocks read 599.2 but still it didn't trigger an LD. The closest I ever got was when I did an RC, and realized I was dreaming, but then the dream went black IMMEDIATLY and ended before I got lucid. I'm failing to recognize simple things like weird clocks, and being at school like at 5:00 and its dark outside because its not supposed to be dark at 5:00 pm, and I don't go lucid after a succesful RC.
Also when I do an RC and say "I'm dreaming" i always think im lucid but im not, ( this has happened about 6-7 times)
Does anyone have any tips, i would appreciate replies :).Because right now I'm far from having my first lucid.
