I am new to this forum, and so far I love what I see. I am very new to this whole concept, so I had a few questions. I apologize in advance if there is already a thread with the same questions, but i looked for awhile and couldn't find any.

First off, what exactly is WILDing? (wake induced lucid dreaming, right?) I know it is a technique used to induce an LD, but what does it require?

For that matter, what are the meanings of the other abbreviations such as WBTB, DILD, and such. The only one I know is SP is sleep paralysis, and I'm not even sure if I could correctly define that.

I have a desire to start controlling my dreams, and I have begun keeping a dream journal and doing some basic RCs whenever I remember. Once again, I apologize if these questions have already been attended to.
