Thread: Total newbie here

Hello everybody,
I'm new here so i thought i would say hi, i'm 18 (i know i'm a little young for this) anyway i have never experienced a lucid dream but i would really like to. I've tried the WILD technique but i just couldn't slip into a lucid state any tips?

Any replies are greatly appreiciated and sorry if i included any shortened english

hey hi and welcome to dream views
just a hint nobody cares about age we are all friends here
anyways hope you like it here and good luck

Hey. You aren't young for this, I started lucid dreaming when I was 13
WILD is hard for beginners. I can't WILD at all.
I would suggest the DILD. Just do a lot of reality checks.
Dream journals are also helpful with finding out dream signs and boosting your dream recall.

REALITY CHECK NOW
sorry...

I've tried DILD and it didnt work but i tried WILD and my body fell asleep with my mind awake then i kept seeing images of my girlfriend but it wasn't a dream i'm sure

oh you have 18? sorry, I can't let you stay in the forum.
Rules are Rules....










Welcome to the forum and happy lucids!

typo
oh you are 18?
so how old are you ? mariano

I'm 15..

Anyway, have you attempted WILD before? It sounds like you're taking the passive route, simply watching the dream form before you and(hopefully) being carried inside of it. Since this isn't working for you, I would suggest the active attempt: while the dream begins to form, visualize yourself taking part in it - standing in its environment, interacting with the dream characters, etc..the dream will stabilize, and become complete.

Like eppy said before, WILD isn't usually best for beginners(I've been trying for months and just now getting less than average results -_-) so try out each technique for a week or so, and what's best for you.
