Thread: hello

Hello there I'm extremely new to lucid dreaming (have only had 3 but were hazy). I have lots of questions,

1. The only abbreviations i know of are, WILD, DILD, and RC so a list would be nice thanks

2. How to stabilize/prolong a lucid dream (make it more vivid/realistic)

3. How to properly WILD.

4. In the last lucid dream i had i could use dragon ball Z powers but it was very very hazy near end.

5. How i control my dream i visualize whats going to happen then i do a hand movement and it happens, any better ways of controlling?

6. I don't mean to brag or be cocky or anything but my brain seems complex, because i did a RC of counting my fingers in one LD and the next one my brain fixed it, as if it doesn't want me to have a LD?

7. Would saying to myself before i go to sleep "Tonight i will have a lucid dream" help?

8. Should i get a lucid dream mask? can only spend $400

9. My mind seems very very random so as i dream random stuff appear i lose track of what I'm doing i cant focus on one thing for a while unless I'm 100% committed so that's one of the obstacles for me.

10. This isn't a question just saying that i am pretty good at dream recall so i don't think i need a dream journal.

Thank you for your time and sorry if some of this has been covered (only skimmed through forum). Once again thanks .

Sorry for the uncapitalized I's
