Thread: Lucid Dreaming Questions/Intro

Thanks for the welcome and the answers.

welcome, Josh.

I don't have much to add to what seeker28 already said

1. If you feel like you are making good progress on your dream recall, go ahead and start trying new things. As long as remembering your dreams doesn't take every ounce of your concentration, you shouldn't be overwhelming yourself. Just remember not to stress out too much, or get impatient and frustrated. Having good dream recall will make your lucids much more frequent (duh) and more vivid and satisfying. Hopefully, having even brief or non-vivid lucid dreams will be fun and help keep you motivated. I think the best way to go is to just jump in while you're still excited.

2. That sounds like it was a very brief lucid dream. It is common for many peoples' first lucids to end abruptly like that. It is quite a shock to become lucid if you are not used to it. If you're keeping score, I would still count it as a lucid

3. I think I know the feeling you are referring to. Was it one of those dreams where your thoughts just become super vivid, and kind of evolve into a dream? Like seeker28 mentioned, read about DEILD. You can check out the tutorials, or use the search button to snoop on some other peoples' experiences. If you think this feels natural to you, it is a great way to become lucid.
