Hello Guys :D

Hi guys,
Im Aditya from India, 17 year old, I am fascinated by the concept of lucid dreaming, i had one accidentally as a kid, i tried them a couple of years ago again but gave up in 2-3 days, this time I wont quit practicing unless i can achieve at lease 1-2 per week

I started a week ago and found about this forum on reddit and google searches, im happy that ive discovered this place

I've read most of the beginner threads and now i realize the fact that it may be weeks before i can dream lucidly, in this week ive had one lucid dream without control, it disappeared quickly and i was rubbing my hands desperately, later i realized it disappeared because i expected it to disappear

Ive been doing meditation, RC, semi- ADA ( i do RC and ADA 20 times a day, i get a reminder) and i keep a journal. I have tried WILD, WBTB, and some other techniques.
Ive improved my dream recall from 1 to 2 dreams a day, im obsessed with lucid dreaming

I also eat, pistachio, almonds, cheese and an egg before going to sleep, and i have automatically started waking up 2-3 times each night, feeling fully rested. I have been getting more vivid/weird dreams
The lucid dream i had was successful due to FILD.
I dont usually take part in communities etc, but i thought it would help me keep the habit, just hope that i am not a natural non-lucid dreamer

Happy dreaming and sorry for my bad england, im not a native speaker

Lol I like the name flyingcow

A lot of people here are just as obsessed with lucid dreaming, I'm glad you found us

I just learned about FILD myself, its a really cool technique. There are a lot of different methods on here to try, I think WBTB is my favorite.

Anyhow Welcome to Dream Views Aditya! You can start a dream journal on here as well as read the cool adventures of other dreamers. This will help your recall a lot and people can comment on your dreams. It's also not too late to try The Task of the Month lucid challenge

It'll be fun to see your progress, Happy Dreaming

Thank you

Yes, ill check the challenge..
Its really difficult for me to wbtb and fild, i just give up after 5 mins, maybe thats because i dont stay awake for longer than 10 mins before wild....i like to wild while normally sleeping but dont get any dreams,i will try more today
I have improved dream recall and vividness greatly...meditation and b6....
Happy dreaming

Hi Aditya,

That is great that you now recall 1-2 dreams a day. That's better than me since on some days I still remember nothing.

Has eating those foods before sleep had any effect on your dreams?
