Okay, I've been trying to lucid dream for the past couple of nights. I know not to expect anything too soon, but I was still hoping for some input. Here's what I plan on doing:
  1. Bed at 12:00. I will use a MILD at this time and hope to induce a DILD.
  2. Wake up at 5:00 for like 5 minutes and write down any dreams.
  3. Go back to bed and try to WILD. I have been using this tutorial.


I have already started a dream journal, but have a few questions:

  1. Should I be using WILD, or is it too early on?
  2. Should I try FILD instead? Should alter between doing the two methods?
  3. I've heard reports that eating peanut butter and bannanas can help dream recall? Are these claims true? If so, when should I eat them (before bed, after waking up)?
  4. n my first attempt at WILD, my whole body went numb, heated up, and my heart went faster. On my second attempt, I had a little more trouble. Is the first experience on the right track?
  5. I normally sleep on my side, but for WILD have been trying it belly-up? What is your recommendation on sleeping position.


I know I have a lot of questions, but I really want these lucid dreams. Thanks for the help! Also, I am looking for someone who is willing to adopt a newbie like myself, feel free to PM me!

Cheers,

Wesley Gray
