Hello everyone. I'm taihen, and I live in South Africa. I've been lucid dreaming for about 2 or so weeks now, and have had 3 lucid dreams (WBTB and a bit of MILD), and a couple nice vivid ones and such... no luck with WILD yet. I am happy to have discovered lucid dreaming because before I started trying I couldn't remember any dreams at all!

Anyway, I've got a few questions that I haven't seen answered anywhere else, so I'll post them here and hope other newbies can also glean some information from any replies.

1. I've been having many different dreams but the vividity varies dramatically. How can I ensure that my dreams are vivid?

2. I am doing some experiments with WILD. How long should a WILD take? How do you know it is working, and..

3. If a WILD isn't working, what is the most common problems and how do I correct it?

Sorry if this should be in the Attaining Lucidity part of the forum, but I am new so I thought I should start here, and I also here that noobs generally have problems with WILDs.

Any suggestions?
