Thread: New To Lucid

Well my friend recently told me about this site so I checked it out. It seems pretty cool so I just bought a Dream Journal today planning on waking up at 4 am tonight to write about my dreams (if I can remember them). Well sometimes it takes me a long time to fall asleep (i.e. 1-2 hours) and usually I can't lay still I have to move constantly. So it seems that will be a problem whenever I will attempt to WILD. What I really want to try is to "jump" like in the movie Jumper. It would be so cool if I could do that. I've had a few lucid dreams before where I knew I was dreaming but during those dreams I was close to waking up cause some noise was going on. The close I've ever gotten to controling myself in a dream is when I opened a door. But when I opened the door everything started to get ruined and stuff. I didn't even know I was dreaming then when I took control that 1 time. So does anyone have any tips for me to help me become lucid and to control and alter my dreams?
