Thread: what now?

ok, i have gotten my dream recall up, about 2 dreams a night. now what? im not sure what steps to take from here to havea LD. can someone please help?

Well now that you can recall your dreams fairly good, You should start logging them in a dream journal.This will help keep your recall good, and in addition, you can review your dream journal and try to find comman signs (Dream Signs) that appear in your dreams.Train yourself to recognize those, and when you see them in your waking life, do a reality check, and try to get into the habit of doing them enough so that when you see your Dream Sign in your dream, you'll do your reality check and become sufficiantly aware of your dream to prove your dreaming.

Aswell, look through the Tutorials Section and see if theres any that you'll want to try. Alot of people find that WILD and MILD work well.

Other than that, I'd say just keep reminding yourself before you go to sleep to realize your dreaming.

Good Luck with it.

It's great you can recall 2 dreams per night - that's a great start. As mentioned by Kastro, you should be recording them in a DJ, if you haven't started already. Spotting patterns and recognizing your unique dreaming style will help you gain lucidity.

You can start trying some induction techniques now. Keep in mind that they can work differently for differenent people, so one that may work well for others may not work best for you (and vice versa). Also, sometimes you need to tweak it a bit to fit you better.

Just play around with some things and let us know if you run into any problems. Good luck!
