Thread: N00b Here

Hi LucidFlanders, welcome to Dream Views!!!

If you're pretty new to the topic of Lucid Dreaming, a good place to start is the [topic="http://www.dreamviews.com/tutorials.php"]tutorial section[/topic] if you haven't already. There are a lot of Canadians in here, so you should feel right at home... hehe.

I'm just another member, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I'll try my best to answer them or point you in the right direction.

Enjoy your stay!

Thanks. I am pretty new to LD, just head of them a week ago, or atleast what you can do. I've heard of the word lucid dream but figured it was just like SP or something,which i've had. I hear the sound of my elementary door sound as you open or close it, the squeek then i wake up and i feel my covers slowly move off of me and i cannot move at all, i then got out of it and ran to my dad all scared. Back when i was like 7.

Supposedly, once you have SP, its really easy to slip into a lucid dream. So if you have SPs on a regular basis, you could have LDs on a regular basis as well. I've personally never had SP, so I can't explain much on the techniques, but there should be a few tutorials section.

How good is your dream recall? If you haven't done so already, a good idea would be to start a dream journal at some point... on the long run, its the best thing you can do to improve your recall and ability to lucid dream. In less than a week you will notice an improvement on your dream recall, and the dream journal also helps you detect any recurring dream signs which is very helpful to getting lucid. Another thing that is extremely important, even more so than the dream journal, is a positive attitude. Truly believe you will have and recall a lucid dream right before you go to bed. Keep this positive attitude in your head as you fall asleep.

Anyway, sorry for throwing all this at your face at once... hehe. Hope it doesn't make you run off.

Good luck on your dreams!

I havn't wrote my dreams down once. I remember almost no dreams when i wake from sleep, too. Some dreams i still remember that i had 8-10 years ago.

SP can be a scary trip, can't it? Oh well, it gets easier and actually even... *gasp*... FUN after a while. It's all in how one approaches it! Keep practicing; it sounds like you already have a headstart!

I don't want to steal you topic, but Tyrant23: Whenever I get SP, I always "leave" it after about 10-20 seconds, even if I'm completely calm. How do I stay in SP longer?

Oh, yeah: welcome to the DV, Flanders! Indeedily-Doodily!

Welcome Flanders! where in canada are you BTW? I'm form alberta.

Hi Flanders and welcome to the forum

Sounds like you need to work on your recall there well a dream journal can clear that up so no need to worry.

Well every one else has given all the needed info, so I'll just shimmer in to the shadows. If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask.

I've never woken up with SP, so I can't tell you anything from personal experience. I do remember reading something about SP that if you wake up with it, you should close your eyes, stay relaxed, and start thinking about the dream you just had... supposedly that would make you fall back right back in the dream. Since your SP only last a few seconds (I'm not even sure how long it usually lasts), I don't know if that technique would work in such a short amount of time.

I think there's something wrong with me since I seem to be the only person ever in the history of the universe to have never had SP when waking up... ok, I may be exaggerating, but still.

Ok, I've heard that SP lasts a long time from some people, and that it only lasts for seconds from others! Which is the truth?
