Thread: New To DreamViews

Hey. I'm new hear too, but I'm familiar with lurkers. You guys generally have the greatest points, because you keep them to yourself for months.

I haven't had a real lucid dream yet, but I've been trying for about 5 days. It gets frusterating for me, because I'll tell myself I'll have one, then I'll sort of wake up and go "Alright, let's have this dream!". Its quite annoying . I sleep pretty deep, so gaining lucidity is going to be a challenge, that's for sure.

Anyway, dreaming is something so underlooked but so exciting to all of us, I guess, so welcome.

Ello, thanks for the welcome!

Generally this simply all takes alot of discipline and patience. I have faced a rather similar problem as you are dealing with. Pretty much I will get close to having the dream, and my excitment will be enough to ward off any hopes of success. From what I have read and from a little bit of my own experience, you just need to find complete and total peace in your mind. For me, I found that focusing on what is called the third eye, or the region located roughly between your eyebrows is very helpful. I would have to explain this as not just thinking of it as a physical spacial sense, but in a mental sense as well. Also, just having your eyes go loose and not controling them at all is a huge helper for me. Pretty much while I focus on the "third eye" of my mind, my eyes will shift on their own to both be staring at an area directly infront of me. At this point, while my eyes are closed, I personally begin to see almost like white blobs and swirls in this area. The trick is not to look at it; in other words, do not try to see what it is, just accept it as being there, and let it grow to consume your entire inner vision. This is the part I havnt passed yet, as I am used to looking at things that pop up and suprise me.

In a short summary, just let everything flow naturally. Don't try to push yourself, just make yourself as peaceful as possible. In addition, I say all of this with the uttermust humblness. I know that I have nowhere near the experience as many of the other posters here, but I figured I'd just throw in a little piece of info that has been a personal help to myself.

See ya around, Ethereal!
