Thread: Greetings from a new member, and my first attempt

Hey thanks for the comments!

I tried it both at the start of the night and also when i had woken up after being asleep for a while. Last night I tried the same but with reverse blinking, which got me to fall asleep much faster, but I lost consciousness and just started dreaming. However, in the morning after I had woken up from a dream, I tried for ages to get back in, and then finally I felt myself entering a dream, but at that moment when the dream started to stabilise, my brother woke me up!

Also, I think i need to practice more in keeping still and calm after waking up from a dream, I always find myself immedietly moving around a lot in bed after awakening, and then realising seconds too late that i had just had a dream. I guess I just need more practice at this sort of thing. I will be sure to continue reading tutorials...

Sorry I can't be of much help, myself WILD is one technique I still cannot manage to accomplish!

Closest I can do is DEILD, otherwise known as dream-chaining. You wake up, and you don't stay awake, you're meant to focus on the dream you just woke up from and re-enter it, only usually when you re-enter, you're lucid.

haha i tried to DEILD last night, and i re-entered the dream i previously had, which turned into a conversation with a friend about my intentions of having a lucid dream, and basically the entire dream was a discussion about lucid dreams...and yet still i managed to completely fail to realise i was dreaming...i hope i can get better at thinking more logically in dreams, something tells me that i missed out on a very easy opportunity to become lucid...

That's actually a good sign

The same thing happened with me (it wasn't a DEILD though, this would have been a DILD had it worked). I was having a conversation with two DC's... they did something that I can't remember, and then they started laughing at me, saying, "Omg, I can't believe you didn't become lucid from that!" and then the other DC said, "What are you waiting for? Someone to spell it out for you?!" I was all like, "Haha, yeah, I'm a dork!"

Then we stared at each other. I had this nagging feeling that I should be doing something (that something would have been a reality check!), but I couldn't quite grasp what it was... And then just shrugged it off, to the dismay of my DC's...

I'm getting better at catching things. A few nights ago, I became lucid because I shot electricity out of my hands at a DC. The more aware you are about your capabilities and the world around you... and the more aware of your dream signs you are... the more chances and successes you'll have for a DILD

hehe thats pretty funny thanks for your advice
