how do you get into a lucid dream?

Explain the way you get into a lucid dream

There are many methods to gaining lucidity. Check the Tutorials section.

My preferred method: DILD, or Dream Induced Lucid Dream

You fall asleep normally, start dreaming, and check for thing irregular. These checks are called "reality checks". One example is to look at your hands. If you have any extra/missing digits, you can infer that you are dreaming. Then you can do crazy stuff.

Snowblind, the tutorial section explains the many ways of inducing a lucid dream. The forums give a lot of tips as well; it just takes some reading to get some background in the many variations that people use.

Good luck. :welcome: to DreamViews.

Read the home page, there is a nice start-up guide there.

Welcome to Dreamviews! :)

The home page, as ninja suggested, is a good place to start. You might also want to read the tutorials.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions after reading those.

When I first started out I watched my Hypnogogic Imagery until I learned to stay conscious until the HI turned into a dream.

Oh yeah... welcome to Dream Views!!
