I followed all the instructions the WILD video instructed. I laid on my back, relaxing all the muscles in my body. I took deep, slow breaths, I imagined the the vivid dream I had a few days ago, saying mentally I was going to lucid dream. Later on my whole body was numb, riddled with vibration. I did as the video instructed and concentrated on my eyelid(my eyes were closed). Dark blue and green started swirling. The darkness started to move as thought it was water but nothing else. I repeatedly kept thinking I was going to lucid dream but after 10 minutes nothing happened. I'm wondering why didn't I lucid dream? Also was the colours I saw close to dreaming? Is it because I attempted it to late? I was going to bed at 6 am btw. Or should I have waited longer? Any suggestion/advice is really appreciated. |

Sometimes we do everything right, and yet it does not work because the timing was not right, we were too tired or not tired enough, some chemical imbalance within us, or another reason that was perhaps outside of our control that night, but we do the same thing again on another night, and it might work. I wonder whether that's what happened. Try the same technique on other mornings, and see whether it works. |

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it! I guess it was foolish for me to expect anything for the first night. Great things comes with hard work. What does DILD mean? What's the most depressing is that usually I remember parts of my dream but this morning I remember nothing. I really want to LD and will do anything even if that includes practicing for years to experience. I'm usually an unmotivated person but this is the one thing I wish to experience and master. |

Here is a tutorial on DILD: http://www.dreamviews.com/wiki/DILD-Tutorial -- I would recommend trying for both WILD and DILD, some people are more successful with one, and some with the other. Best! |

If you got to where you saw colors and felt funny then that in itself is pretty cool for a first attempt! |

To add, if you have time, try napping. Naps are golden for lucid dreaming and can work nicely for WILDing since one is often more aware during the nap and goes quickly into REM or sometimes even straight into REM. |

Thank you very much. I've been reading DILD and MILD guide thoroughly before I went to sleep. My dream recall is getting better and better. I usually don't remember my dreams but after a week of recording my dreams on my DJ I seem to be having vivid dreams every night. Last night I had multiple vivid dreams last night, 9 I believe, 4 of which I can vaguely remember. I woke up in the middle of the night after having one. Unfortunately I was too tired to write it on my sleep journal so I fell asleep, forgetting it, also forgot to imagine I was going to lucid dream. |

No. You are doing fine. The first steps are to increase vividness and recall. You are doing great. Right on track. |
|
Increased recall and vividness is great! It also means that you are getting more aware in dreams, and more awareness means more chances for getting lucid, keep it up! |
