What's up? I'm GangstaDan, and I've never had an LD before, but I've started writing a Dream Journal and I try to do 2 WILDs every night (One at 10:30 PM and one at 4:30 am). The the best method I've read involves looking at the back of you're eye lids and concentrating on the patterns that form, but last night I wan't relaxed enough or something so I couldn't see the patterns too well. Anyway, I'm going to try again tonight.
Hey Gangsta, and :welcome:
Well you're off to a good start - sounds like you got a little regular schedule down - good. While WILDing is more of an advanced technique (in my opinion) I do find it to be one in which you have more control over.
Make sure you don't get too caught up in the images that form in your eyelids (hypnogoggia). Concentrating too much will keep you too awake or "aware" and you may just end up staying awake. You have to make sure you let yourself "slip away" a little bit - but not too much of course. You'll find after practice that there is a certain feeling or "zone" that the longer you stay in, the more control you'll be able to have later on in slipping right into a dream while keeping awareness.
Oh, and if you start hearing sounds that seem real - don't panic, this means that you're right at the dreams doorway! :D
Good luck and be sure to keep us updated or ask questions! :wink:
Heya, GangstaDan! We'll be newbies together!
I wish I had some kind of advice to give ya, but I have plenty of learning to do myself. Good luck and Welcome!

Whaddup, Fey and Dan? Welcome to Dream Views.
Keep trying those WILDs, Dan. And, during the day, start focusing on observing your surroundings, especially after anything "unusual" happens. It's best to start early on training your mind to recognize oddities as possible dream signs.
Like the other's said, feel free to ask around if you have any questions.
Hey there, Dan. It's great that you have joined us. I am sure that while you are with us, you will finally have an LD! :D
Thanks for all of the advice.
