Hey Engler - congrats on your first LD

Yup, stress is counterproductive when it comes to becoming lucid and it's a common mistake with newbies who just want to have one so bad. It even effects those who have experience with LDs as well, unfortunately Sometimes the best thing to do is take a little 'vacation' from LDing to let your guard down and have it just happen.

So anyway, care to share a little bit about the dream? What techniques were you trying before you actually became successful?
