Hey I just started on this Lucid Dreaming stuff, it sounds really cool. What would you suggest I practice doing to train this for the first week? Should I start out with Dream Recalling and Journal entries? Or just go straight to trying to cue a Lucid Dream? I want to get started in this right away. I've had Lucid Dreams before that I can remember but I never could substain that state, I get too excited and end up waking up. I have pretty good Dream Recall though, I remember lots of my dreams. |

Well the first night before I fell asleep I kept repeating to myself that I would have lucid dreams. And I remember for every one of my dreams I had last night I knew they were dreams within seconds and they just ended. One of them I knew it was a dream as soon as it started it seemed and I said to myself "I am dreaming" and then said "look at the dog" and I looked at a dog that was standing beside me. Then looked back straight again and I felt tingley all over my body then the dream faded. I thought I was keeping calm but I don't know what happend. I had 3 dreams that night and all of them lasted seconds because somehow I knew they were dreams, I think I knew so fast because the world around myself was a grey emptiness. There was nothing around me there was just me. |

HI Ian!!! Welcome</span> |

Yeah thanks |
|
Remember to spin in place if you feel you are loosing the dream. This helps you to collect all of your sense again, although you will likely end up in a new location after doing this. |
|
I'll have to try that tonight, it sounds a bit rediculous but from other posts I've heard it works. |
|
Also rubbing your hands works just as well. |

recall and journaling go hand in hand and are definitely the best place to start. but if your recall is already great then i see no point in working on it. even if your recall is good i'd still recommend keeping a journal, it can actually make your recall even better and you can use the dreams you record to work with certain techniques and things. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
Yeah, thanks for the info |

perfectly normal and probably related to sleep paralysis. i don't want to sound like i'm condescending or anything, i don't know how much you know about the sleep process, but everytime you go to sleep you become paralyzed. it's common to experience tingling or pressure sensations, and even hear strange noises. sometimes you may be conscious of the paralysis during sleep onset, which is hypnogogic paralysis. or you may be conscious of it while you're waking up (less common) called hypnopompic paralysis. my guess is that you were waking up as the paralysis was wearing off. i remember in my first lucid dream, when i woke up i heard this loud pop, almost like someone dropped a lighbulb. so yeah, things like that are totally normal and commonly experienced by lucid dreamers. |
