Thread: My First Lucid :)

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Cool avatar by the way I was thinking of using mine too. I'm am unsure of your question though. I have had no success yet, not a single LD but I have just started my journey and have only begun to record my dreams.

Well, I had my first lucid last night, so I decided to register. *It was lifelike, but short. *I tried WILD, but never got far enough into it. *I managed to become lucid by training myself to look at my alarm clock and do an RC everytime I wake up, it just so happens that I start off most dreams at my bed (so this works out for me * ).

PS-Is a HILD or a WILD more effective?

Congrats on the LD! Well done!

To answer your question...it depends on you. Techniques work differently for everyone. For example, I average about 1 LD per week, but I've never EVER had a successful WILD - go figure. The key is finding what works best for you and go with it.

Good job on the LD.

I find that for me, a WILD is more successful. That might be though, because I am used to them. You might want to devote a couple months to each method to see which works best for you.

Thanks for the tips!
