Thread: My first post here - What lucid dreaming means to me

I tried telekinesis (in my dreams) and discovered a general law for it: Never wonder how or why its possible, never be amazed, but have full confidence that you will achieve whatever you want to do with telekinesis, and it will happen. This law (what I like to call it) also applies for physical matter reality, but the results come more slowly it seems.

When you WILD, do you experience the transition from being awake (in physical reality) to seeing the dream world become real? I only noticed the transition once, and it was a thrilling ride! All the sudden patterns start to merge and created a dreamworld view. What is your technique for inducing WILD? Have you got some topics (of yourself) you might want to refer me to?

Thanks!

Hello Devoney,

I am more than happy to answer your questions to the best of my capabilities!

1. The 'X's' in my signature does indeed represent my achievements of my set goals.

2. I have only teleported once...so by no means am I an expert, but we do have several experts here on Dreamviews. Canis Lucidus taught me how to teleport and he will be happy to give you some tips on how you can do it also. The one time I did teleport, I was consciously aware that I could just imagine that when I opened my eyes, I would be in Egypt...and when I did open my eyes, I was there (read more about it here: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/bemi...h-crook-49387/)!

3. When I WILD, I do experience a transition of somewhat...for me, I experience several 'signs' like strong vibrations, HI, or sleep atonia. I use these signs as my warning that I am on the verge of becoming lucid or already lucid, but please understand that these 'signs' can be different for everyone. Just because I experience these 'signs' doesn't mean that it will happen for everyone. You must go by your experience and pay attention to your body to know what your personal signs are. You sound like you already have an idea of some signs that has happen to you (like seeing patterns and creating a dreamworld)...sounds like you are right on track!

4. The only tactics that I have used so far is lots of practice and a strong desire to become lucid and not get frustrated when I don't. There are several tutorials available here on the site...go the the main forum page and scroll down to 'Resources' and you will see the tutorial section (or click this link: Tutorials). Right below the tutorials section is the Education Center...lots of great stuff there . The best advise I can give you is to try a method and stick with it for a while...give your body time to adjust and learn new methods without switching to something else just because you did not receive results as soon as you would like to. You already have the experience of becoming lucid, I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) you just want to be able to control it better. Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to lucid dreaming. I would also become familiar with the administrators and moderators of dreamviews. Many of them teach courses that you will also find in the forum section under Lucid Dreaming called DV ACADEMY (click here: DV Academy). There, you can sign up for a class and do activities that will help strengthen your control and stabilization of your lucid dreams. Then you can move onto the different techniques (DILDS, DEILDS, MILD, WILD). You will be able to fine tune which method works best for you and you will be lucid dreaming on a continuous basis in no time!

Don't give up, there are no failures...just more opportunities to learn from the experience. Good luck to you and don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter how irrelevant you may think they are! You are among friends!

One love.
