Thread: hey

Hi,

Im new. I’ve had lucid dreams for as long as I can remember. I didn’t even know there was a special name for those dreams until just recently.

I have a couple questions to begin with. First, most of the time my LDs are DILDs, but there have been a few recent cases where I would be falling asleep as usual, and then I would hit SP and suddenly become aware. Then a dream will form around me. This usually happens very quickly, and the total time from when I become aware of SP to being in a dream would usually be less then 30 seconds. Is this WILD? I don’t think it’s DILD because im not in a dream while recognizing im dreaming, but I’m not sure if its WILD either because I don’t go from being fully awake to being in a dream with no lapse in consciousness, I only regain consciousness while in the SP stage. If it’s WILD, would they be more vivid if I start out fully awake?

Another small issue, I can never seem to make things or DCs just appear or find a door and open it as a portal to a place I want to go. And I know exactly what Im doing wrong. I have doubts in the back of my head. And I can’t help but think “this BETTER work.” I know that is something I need to change, but my question is, how? HOW can you practice to get yourself to just KNOW things will work?

Thanks in advance
