It's when you dream or when your dreams involve or relate to things that have happened in the near past (past week or so).Quote:

Welcome, Holiace,
Sounds like you are doing a good job studying up on LDing. That's great that you've started a dream journal too. Those are great for recognizing dream signs, improving dream recall, and keeping yourself motivated.
Speaking of Day Residue, I experienced that last night. Before bed I watched an old video that I had found that had been lost for a long time. It was of myself and some of my old freinds. And last night I had dreams with those friends. It was really nice. I usually experience Day Residue with things that affect me emotionally like that.
Anyway, I'm glad you're here. This is a very supportive community.
Let us know how it goes.
To start off with: Woah, girls on the internet? Cool.Quote:

That's a great thing to do if you have the time. Having LDing on your mind for a good part of the day will help it be on your mind when you are sleeping (back to that residue thing we talked about). And also make sure that through out the day you question your state ("Am I dreaming?"). I feel that doing these things was what got me lucid.Quote:

Keep up the good work--you're doing great...:)
I'll make sure to do it "by the book" sortof. I'm having problems making RC's all the time.Quote:

Looking at your hands is another one that is quick and easy and you can do without looking strange if you are not alone. My hands are never normal in my dreams.Quote:

The main thing is to just make it a habit to question your state enough that you start doing it in your dreams.Quote:

Good night and good luck! :)Quote:

I have day residue in almost all of my dreams. I think most people do, sometimes it's just hidden.
Hey! My dreams were full of day residue, like always.
I generally dream of guns, cars and people I know and it was kind of weird when I found that out.
Hey, Victor welcome to dream views.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Thanks! =)Quote:

yeah. the Chat is great.
I use to be there, but not so much the last time.
See you there.
Just a quick question...
What does like... "Semi-Lucid" mean? That you are aware that you are dreaming but you have 0% control of anything?
