Hello everyone. My name is Scarlett :wink: . I'm very new to both the forum and to lucid dreaming (you can check out my original introductory post here ). There's so much information on lucid dreaming on this forum and all over the web that I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed :confused: . I would greatly appreciate it if someone would point me to some sort of starting point. Thank you all so much :loveyou:.

Hi there! Nice to me ya! So, you want to know of a good starting place for lucid dreaming, hmm? Well, here ya go!
If you are just getting started with lucid dreaming, I suggest you go to the Intro Class sub-forum located in the DV Academy forum. Here's a link to it. Intro Class
Click on the board titled "NEW STUDENTS START HERE: Beginner's Intro to Lucid Dreaming - LESSONS I - IV". Here's a link to that too. http://www.dreamviews.com/intro-clas...sons-i-iv.html
The board provides a four step process to help beginner lucid dreamers just like you get started with lucid dreaming. In the board you will learn about all the basic aspects of lucid dreaming such as aspects of daily routine influence the likely-hood of you having a lucid dream, the three basic lucid dreaming techniques (DILD, MILD, and WILD) including how WBTB works, sensory and self-awareness, and finally dream stabilization and control. It even provides links to other tutorials for specific techniques! Everything a person just getting started could ask for.
After that, you can look at the other classes in the DV Academy sub-forum if you would like to another perspective on specific techniques. You can also ask questions in the Attaining Lucidity forum if you want more personalized assistance in becoming lucid, but if you want to ask questions about dream control, you should post them in the Dream Control forum instead. Within the Attaining Lucidity forum, there is also a sub-forum called Induction Techniques in which people post variations on techniques or completely new techniques which seem to work for them. Link here: Induction Techniques
I'm gonna end this with tips in which I feel is very important for new lucid dreamers like you to know. Don't give up if you don't have results within two weeks. Lucid dreaming is a skill and takes time to develop. Also, don't be afraid to change techniques if one does not seem to be getting you results. Not all techniques work well for all people. Finally, don't try to force yourself too hard in order to have a lucid dream. More often than not, this tires out new lucid dreamers and they get frustrated because of lacking results. Take it slow and steady and don't be afraid to take a break from lucid dreaming if becomes a nuisance. Just come back to it when you have more energy, motivation, and time to do so.
Anyways, I wish you the best of luck in your lucid dreaming endeavors!
P.S. If you want to know where I'm most commonly found, I'm quite active in the Senseless Banter sub-forum of The Lounge.
Welcome to dreamviews Scarlett!
I know, there's a ton of information, but you don't need to worry about the vast majority of it until you become a bit more experienced. It's usually a good idea to start with a dream journal, reality checks, and some MILD. Good luck!
Well, I just shared this with someone else, but it will help you too in case you do not see it.
