Thread: Whats The Best Method For A Beginner To Attain Lucidity

When I was first learning, I had DILDs. I am still trying to perfect WILDing.

Welcome to DV!

For a complete beginner, it will take some effort and dedication. Some people have an easy time, so for a complete beginner it could take less than a week, or more than a month to have the first lucid dream. Also, people's minds are very different, so what works extremely well for someone may not work at all for someone else.

The tried and true, basic way of getting to have a lucid dream is:
- Have a good dream recall (easily accomplished by keeping a dream journal)
- Perform reality checks often throughout the day. Don't just assume that you are awake. If the reality checks fail, try it again, maybe a different one.

There are way too many other little methods that work very well for some people. The only way to find out what works for you is to try it. Read up a little bit on the [topic="http://www.dreamviews.com/tutorials.php"]tutorials section[/topic], there are a lot of useful information there.

How is your dream recall right now... how many dreams on average can you remember a night? Have you had a lucid dream before? How did you hear about the subject and about Dream Views?

Good luck on your journey to Lucid Dreaming... with some effort, it shouldn't take long before your first experience!

Quick start.

At the present moment i cant remember any dreams at all. everytime i wake up i just fall back to sleep, so i think i should start working on dream recall first.

The quickstart link that Developer posted is really nice.

And yeah, if you can't remember any dreams, you should work on that first... otherwise, even if you have an amazing lucid dream, you won't know about it.

In my opinion, the best way for a newbie to get good results reasonably quickly, is to focus on boosting dream recall, reality checking, and practicing MILD. It's what I've advised pretty much all of my adoptees, and MILD seems to get the best results.
