Thread: Hello Dreamviews! I'm new and need some guidance

First off, welcome to Dream Views! I think you'll find it a great community with a lot of helpful folks. Yes, lucid dreaming is 100% real. I had a lucid dream just last night, in fact.

And yes, once lucid you can control every aspect of your dream. If you can think of it, you can do it/be it/create it. Some people have difficulty with total control at first, but just remember this: it's all you. All you have to do is know that you have complete control, because there is no reason you shouldn't—after all, you don't have any problem making your arm bend, do you? It's no different. As the Nike ads say, "Just do it!"

As for tips, the best tip I can give you for attaining lucidity, is to examine every aspect of your day for anything the least bit out of place, over the next several days and on. If you notice anything strange, promptly do a reality check. My favorite of these is the nose-hold, where you simply pinch your nose like you're about to go underwater and try to breathe. If you can breathe through your pinched nose, there you have it, you're dreaming. This way, when you're dreaming and notice something out of place (and in dreams, lots of things are often out of place) you stand a good chance of doing a reality check, as it will have become a habit. In doing so, you will realize you are dreaming, and thus become lucid.

Other than that, I'll just point you to the Tutorials section of the forum. probably the best to check out first are the three stickied topics at the top of the topic list. Good luck, and happy lucids!

Shane, yes.. what you've read is true! Lucid dreaming is real and attainable but don't get discouraged if you don't have one the first night you try. It takes some people days, weeks or even months to get their first LD. The key is to expect to have one but to be patient til it comes.

If you should have any questions, please ask and we'll do our best to find you answers.

Welcome to Dream Views!

Yes. i didn't have one last night, however, i felt a since as the whole time i was trying to have one, and knew i was dreaming, but i coulnd't control it. Nor did i feel the urge too. Wierd. I'm going to keep practicing thankyou for all the advice.

Welcome to Dreamviews, I know your skeptical, and I can' wait to see when you do have one and it becomes very real to you the advantage of controling experience, I say that because regardless of reather were awake or in are dreams the world is defined by the same senses that are in dreams, simply real life is a direct feeding of sensory information.

I also hope to remove my skeptisism for my WILD method.

Wow, i'm really excited. I saw something about this on the discovery chanel. Then i did some research and wound up here. I made a dream journal account and im going to begin actively useing it

I just now realize how real this is when i read your tutorial about WILDING Clairity. So its like, you never even went to sleep in your just in a new world, thats sooooo crazy. i'm sorta nervous to try that as i might freak out lol.

Go on and give it a try.. it's a great ride!

Yeah, WILDs are pretty cool. I haven't been able to do one succesfully, but the ride is always intersting. The vibrations feel really cool and also you can reach states of complete mental relaxation that are very refreshing.

Good luck, the journey to lucidity is great.
