Beginner LD competition?

**PennyRoyal** · 03-02-2013 05:04 AM

I was thinking maybe it would be good motivation if some other beginner LDers wanted to challenge me (and each other) to a Lucid Dream duel!

If you havn't had a Lucid yet, you can't induce them regularly, or trying to break a dry spell post here!

It starts with the first challenger!

I have not had one yet

I bet you can get your first one before I can get one!

How about that then? First to WILD Wins?

**Phased** · 03-02-2013 07:35 AM

What's the challenge then?

**Phased** · 03-02-2013 07:44 AM

A DEILD? - Hmmm, I am currently working on WILDs, not sure if I should mix up techniques to much :3

Sounds good, I try to WILD in the later hours of my sleep/naps.

**PennyRoyal** · 03-02-2013 10:35 PM

**PennyRoyal** · 03-02-2013 10:36 PM

I am going to try one this afternoon

**azoller1** · 03-02-2013 11:35 PM

I'm definitely in one this, but Im going to use deild, just cause I'm a true beginner, not a single second of lucidity ever

Alright, sounds good to me. The main reason I created this was more for motivation than competition

Good luck man! Post your attempts as well!

**PennyRoyal** · 03-03-2013 12:55 AM

I attempted to nap earlier, around noon. My original intent was to just pass out for 15-20 minutes, but as I was drifting off I could see a fair amount of HI. I watched them for a while and eventually felt some pretty odd sensations. I really dont know how to explain it into detail but I felt like something was... twisting me. Anyway, it did not result in a successful attempt so I'll try again tomorrow morning.

**azoller1** · 03-03-2013 01:27 AM

I would try napping but I'm not tired enough in the afternoon but I remember once a long time ago I fell aslep on my couch about 2 hours after I woke up and I actually had 30 second lucid dream of flying so I lied about having any lucidity;p but it still didn't feel like a real lucid dream, and seems like you got ! Nice job

I have not had a moment either, I just like the idea of WILD A lot better and find it easier and more interesting

**JoannaB** · 03-02-2013 10:40 PM

Hey! Why focus on WILD? I almost feel like I should not be eligible because while I have not done it in years, but I used to DILD quite a lot, and fully expect to be successful again soon, now that I am trying again. However, I never did WILD, and to be honest am not very interested (don't know why).

That's ok, we will do DILD next I suppose, but for now WILD Is good for us, once we have a winner we will pick another challenge

I don't see why people can't also use whatever technique they prefer, I havn't had any more luck with DILD than WILD personally.

I had agreed to WILD because I didn't think there would be much interest and Phase had suggested WILD :p. I'd like everyone that would like to participate be able to. Whatever you think your best chances are to induce, by all means - use them.

Good luck you guys.

If you need any tips for WILD check this out:
WILD (Sageous)
Mzzkcs Comprehensive WILD Guide - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Why You Fail at WILDs - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

^^These are some very good tips for WILD, remember that everyone is different in almost every area, so doing a WILD step-by-step may not work for you, but you should be able to feel what is working for you. If you have any questions, PM me.

I am not joining, I will be watching though

, and I was wondering this:
Are you counting DEILDs? Because technically they are "WILD"

I think it would be better to not restrict what kind technique everyone is using, that way everyone can participate.

Gotcha! Remember when picking techniques to pick the one that is as fun to do failing as it is succeeding. Making LDing a chore is a sure way to fail, but if you have fun at all stages, you will achieve all sorts of lucidity.
