Thread: First time method: DILD, DEILD or WILD?

I agree that for most people there is no "easy" way to induce LDs. Each person is different, so it is impossible to guess which method might be easiest for you. However, like Shift said, I agree that for most noobies keeping a dream journal, doing RCs, and figuring out dream signs is usually the most effective way to become lucid at first. I'd add that you may also want to use some autosuggestion. Basically just tell yourself "I will realize I am dreaming in my dreams" or something similar over and over throughout the day and before you go to bed.

Get a marker and write the letters RC on your hand. Do a reality check every time that you see it. Starting out you have to be fanatical about doing reality checks, you can ease off once you get more experienced. I started out doing a hundred a day, now I maybe do one.

Thanks a lot for all your advise i think ill stick with what i was doing and carry on RCing and noting my dreams to build up my dream sign database ill also add auto suggestion to my routine, and step up my RCing 10 fold.

DILD it´s the best to start, gives you the some notions about how a beeing lucid is, it´s always good to get used to the "Lucid Feeling", and SP is not a problem.

WILD it´s hard, but i believe after you found your right Wild method (and are a lot to choose) things became easier; in my case, i don´t see great necessity of dominating this, i think DEild is much better.

DEIld it´s hard too, although, if you have a 5 seconds playing alarm this became ultra-efective, the most powerful indeed !
