Thread: Just joined & want to say hi.

Dream journal sounds like a good idea, thanks Reaping Clarity,

How often do u guys practice LD? The slept b4 hand method, this is probably best done on the weekends wouldn’tu say? (For people with early weekdays morning schedule that is)

I practice the WBTB/WILD method every night, i've had 4 LDs in 4 days now .

MILD/DILD don't seem to go well with me :/, I'm not too good at noticing dream signs

Shotbirds,

can u plz decode the MILD/DIDL & WBTB/WILD. Or if u can link me.

Thanks

Firstly, welcome to Dream Views!

You'll see a lot of people using initials for things such as WBTB, WILD, MILD, CAT, HI, SP, DV etc. There's a list of definitions somewhere. I'll come back in a second and put it in this post ... when I've found it.

Thank you Super Duck,

Just curious, does time in LD goes faster or slower compared to real life? For ex; If u think u were LD for 10 min in ur dream, is it still 10 min in real life? What was the longets people LD? thats if its posseble to say that is...

That's a hard question to answer. There was once a person who posted here saying he dreamt he was in Japan and couldn't wake up so he got a job and made friends and lived there for months, maybe a years or so. Most poeple didn't belive him, I for one.

However, I do aknowledge that you can have dreams that seem to last a very long time while they only take a very short time in the real world (eg. you can have a dream that feels like an hour and wake up to find that you've only been asleep for 1o minutes).

On the other hand you can have a very short dream, lets say a 2 minute one for example, and wake up to find that it took 2 hours for it to take place.

People can LD for a very long time, I'll grant. But I highly, highly, doubt that someone dreamt for a year. I'm not the best LDer myself so you might try asking others how long thier longest LDs were. I hope that was some help to you!

It definitely was Duck, thank you.

I just did some reading regarding WILD and it appears that it one of the hardest forms of LD. What would u suggest would be the best way for a beginner like me to try and have LD. I know it works different for different people, and I guess I would have to try all methods, but still. I want to try it tonight what should I start with?

Thanks
