Thread: Newb experiences and questions, advice welcome..

I've had almost all my lucid dreams from a MILD/auto-suggestion route.

Just started last month, so I've just worked on dream recall. Before I go to bed/anytime I wake up I just chant in my mind "I will realize it's a dream" and imagine myself realizing it.

And I've had 7 or 8 lucids in the past 2 weeks just randomly realizing I'm dreaming, not from any signs or RCs or anything.

Seems like a very good way for a beginner to start, but maybe I'm just lucky. It's not hard to do, so it wouldn't hurt to try. I'm going to put off WILDing until I'm very experienced, I've heard it's a hard thing to do and I don't want to get discouraged.
