Thread: Am I Attaining Lucidity Correctly?

Ah, okay. It's usually a good idea to get up and stretch, etc, for at least a couple minutes to up to an hour. If you'd prefer a nap, you can go for 5 hours after waking up before it starts getting hard to induce a WILD. I would also really recommend building up a solid recall, even for the WILD method. Sounds silly, but keep a dream journal. It's truly surprising how effective it is. You could also try a mantra such as, "I WILL remember my dreams," which you repeat to yourself as you fall asleep.

almost the same thing happened to me. My pulse went skyrocketing lol and my eyes were twitchy.

what did you do to resist the urge to open your eyes?

Try to relax and tell yourself you are in control and simply resist to open your eyes. For a beginner it's generally better to start off with DILDs instead of WILD, since WILD is usually harder for most people. Out of my 26 lucids 2 have been WILDs... And I've been trying to WILD quite a lot. It's easier for some people though, so keep trying.

Oh, I've never even heard of a DILD if it is easier i will definitely try it out. I'll do some reading on it and choose which method I want to do tonight. Thank you very much for the info. very helpful

Thanks.
