Hi Everyone in Dream Views

I'm Dom, a 19 year old from Los Angeles, I found out about lucid dreaming in late 2011 when I started my spiritual journey. I've read a lot on lDing and I've had 8 in my life time. I gave myself a brake last year in 2013 but still managed to have Natural lucid dreams without even trying. Before 2011 I had no idea LDing was real because i had never tried it. Now i feel like it is a part of me that i can access when I put the time to it. I'm happy to see that there is so many people that have LD's. I hope one day that Lucid Dreaming becomes a part of everyone's daily life. I can see that is where we're all headed.
Namaste to everyone who reads this.

Welcome to DV, Dom! :D

Thank You Lucas
It's nice to meet you

Very nice to meet you too! :)

do you practice lucid dreaming a lot ?

I try... I had one this morning, but I still need a lot of practise! :) Do you have a favourite technique?

Honestly I do not have a favorite, I just use several. I have a card in my left pocket that reads " Am I dreaming or am I awake? " I pull it out a few times a day. It's worked in the past. I also look at my hands front and back. i use those two reality checks. use a dream journal and just make goals before i go to sleep. I also meditate just to make it easier to stay conscious as my body falls into sleep paralysis.
I use to be able to recall 3 or 4 dreams every night doing this. A good technique to do is going into a dark room and lighting a candle. stare at the highest point of the flame and it increases your focus. trust me on that one. it works great.at least 3 times a week.
i use affirmations as well. i use all of these techniques and just believe in myself.
Now i sometimes have natural LD's but from what i remember what makes me conscious in my dream is looking at my hands and seeing if they change and asking myself if im awake or dreaming.
do you have any different techniques that you think help?

Welcome Dom :D
