Does it matter if I have never had a lucid dream but start to try wilds. I am quite impatient and figure this is a faster method with out having to rely on sheer luck. I have had a dream journal for around a week now and regular reality checks but no luck. I know it has not been long but if I fail the wild I could still have the chance of having a mild. Anyway how hard are wilds to do? and how exactly do I do them?. Does it help if you have had one before well sort of. when I was around 10 or 12 I was really tired one day and went to sleep and around 3pm and imagined being on a surfboard paddling out to the ocean. I kind of entered that thought so it was a dream I guess but I did not know what lucid dreaming was so that's all that happened.
