Thread: Hello

Hey guys.

I recently discovered the concept of lucid dreaming when I searched for the word "dream" in Wikipedia. I found the whole thing pretty interesting, and after doing a quick Google search I stumbled here. For the past three days I have been amazed by this whole lucid dreaming thing and have been browsing these forums and reading tutorials. This community seems pretty user-friendly, and I'm hoping that I can gradually become a frequent lucid dreamer.

I have read through a good bit of tutorials, and found out that right now, as a beginner, the best way for me to start out is by doing the following:

1- Keeping a dream journal. This should help me recall dreams more frequently and possibly increase my awareness in future dreams.
2- Doing a good deal of RCs during the day. This will gradually become a habit, and I'll be becoming lucid in dreams more often.
3- Becoming aware of my surroundings. This should help me become aware in future dreams, meaning that I can better recall them and become more frequently lucid.

From what I understand, it seems like the best thing for me right now is going with the DILD and MILD induction methods. After getting the hang of lucid dreaming, I'll gradually start trying out other methods.

Is my approach a good one? Should there be anything else I should do? Did I overlook anything?

Your replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
