      Hi all. I've only just discovered the site a couple of days ago and started doing a dream journal and reality checks about every 30 minutes. I managed to get a slight lucid dream on my first ever night after telling myself I would have a lucid dream but ever since I haven't been able to...(It was only for about 15 seconds..)

      What's really bugging me, is that is it 100% vital to have 5-6 hours sleep and bit of wake before you can back to sleep? It's really impractical in the situation I'm in. For example, would it be possible to LD through normally going to sleep at nighttime after a long working day...I understand why the 5-6 hours but I want to know if anyone else has had a LD in my circumstances...

      Anyway, great site you have here. Hope to have more LD's soon

      Hey there Iroquois, welcome! I'm not exactally sure what you're talking about but: I've noticed that I have alot more Lucid's when I sleep alot(Ex. Saturday morning sleep in..) Also, I've experienced very vivid Lucid's when I went to bed -dead- tired. So either way you goto sleep, there's a possibility to become Lucid. Hope that helps a little.

      You only need 5-6 hours of sleep followed by an awakening if you're attempting a WILD or MILD (Wake-Induced Lucid Dream and Mnemonic-Induced Lucid Dream, respectively).
      Almost all of my lucid dreams are DILDs--Dream Induced Lucid Dreams. These are the most common type of LD for nearly everybody, and don't require any preparation whatseover. The reality checks and dream journal are all you need--then you will just realize you're dreaming in the middle of a normal dream and go lucid.
      WILDs and MILDs are just shortcuts and techniques to give more vivid LDs, on demand, but they're primarily for more advanced LD'ers. It's important to work on DILDs, RC's and your DJ before moving on to trying the more advanced techniques.

      For a DILD, just keep working on your reality checks and dream journal, and sleep as normal. It should pay off fairly rapidly, and within a few weeks tops, you'll just realize you're dreaming in the middle of a normal dream.

      Welcome to the forum, by the way!
      Cheers,
