I once saw an Wikipedia-article about “Nightmare on Elmstreet” and in that movie, the kids managed to kill Freddy with the help of lucid dreams/they killed him in their dreams. That led me to the lucid dreaming article and to this site.
Since that, I’ve prefered the MILD technique and was succesful, just once but I was ^^ I also use the RC where you try to breath through your nose while you’re covering it with your hands and I always count my fingers.
i learned by many videos on youtube. Especially ones by ReeceJones i think it is… When i first learned about lucid dreaming that night i was so scared of going into SP hahah. I got kinda lucky on my first lucid dream After only 2 days of researching things on LD, i got my first one and it was LONG!!! That was also my 2nd dream ever recorded Heres how i was lucky-- it was a crazy night. SOOOO in the middle of the night— i had my phone in my lap and it fell off my bed when i was asleep which woke me up and i remembered and wrote down my first dream!!! I was so excited when i was writing it down. Little did i know the pen was out of ink and nothing was written down. This time though basically served as a WBTB. When i went back to sleep i had my first LD which was very long and i had GREAT control. I woke up in the morning to find that my other dream was never written down and i forgot it. But i wrote my LD and then later in the day i remembered my original dream That really got me staretd on lucid dreaming
I’ve heard of it before but I didn’t know you could train to do it, I thought that it just “happened”. But now that I saw this website and some Google search about I became very excited, and yesterday I had my first lucid dream and it was amazing!
i first started lucid dreaming just because im a very curious person and when a friend told me about it i just had to try it. It took about 5 months i think to get my first one, and i’ve only had a few, but im working on it!
I have learned LD at about the age of 16 (Yeah very old).
My friend was trying to achieve one and he told me about what a LD is so I thought that I could attempt for it as well.
My first LD was induced with DILD by the help of just doing RC and paying attention while I do it all day and every day.
The first LD lasted for something like 15-30 seconds and it faded really quick since my heart kept on pounding
Today I am trying to return to this world since I have neglected it for the god knows what time. I use mostly auto-suggestions MILD and WILD.
Back in the days I was constantly LDing (At least 1 LD a night in average) I was LL, autosuggestion and MILD in the weekends. Only if I woke sporadically at night I would attempt a WILD/VILD.
Both of my dreams happened when I went to sleep early and wasn’t really tired. I rolled around for an hour or two, then I give up and go take a drink because my mouth usually dries out very fast, maybe even take a leak, then I laid back down, and fell asleep and woke up probably 5-10 times during the night. The last period of my “irregular” sleep is the one where I become aware and lucid. Then I wake up and get out of bed. It’s weird.
I should add, I never used RC.
I tried WBTB, WILD, but accidental DILD is the only thing that seems to work…
Also my first lucid dream was on August 7th, the second was on August 17th. I have no idea how many lucid dreams per year you guys have, but 2 in a month, is this good or bad for a starter? (I’m not a “natural” either)
Well, when I finally found out what a lucid dream was, and what it can do, (this was 1 year ago) I searched it up, and saw a bunch of reality checks. So I often did the hand checking one. Eventually, I did a hand reality check in my dreams, and so, that’s how I learned to lucid dream
One day, I wanted to know how to lucid dream at will. (the day I joined) So I searched up “How To Lucid Dream At Will” and I got the WILD method. After researching and researching, this one person on yahoo answers told me to go on Ld4all.com. And so I joined! And I learned more about other techniques I am currently using
Hi Before I started looking into LD’s i may have had 2 or 3 years apart. But since Ive been studying reality and obe and ld ive had say 3 in the last year. Im now training myself with the RC to try and make them more regular
I learned about LD from Castaneda’s books. I was trying to look at hands for about a month, then had a LD. I wish I had known about other methods, not only about this one. Then I could learn to LD much faster.
I was looking up stuff on preventing sleep paralysis on Wikihow when I came across lucid dreaming. I was hooked but nothing happened so I gave up.
Then, I found a WILD-related post on Tumblr and so I got hooked again. After heavily researching lucid dreaming in a scientific view and other things, I went to the lucid dreaming subreddit (/r/luciddreaming), where I came across Dreamviews and this lovely site.
It’s pretty sad I gave up. I had a couple of really short lucid dreams but I couldn’t do anything about them. Now that I have been here on ld4all for a while, I’m now teaching my friend how to LD.
I wonder who else has gotten into lucid dreaming from Wikihow and Tumblr. Hmm.
As far as I know, ive always been a lucid dreamer. It wasnt untill last year that I actually realized what I was doing so I decided to do some research on it. Now I lucid dream whenever possible.
He he… When I was a child, I was there, fazed in a dream… A big giant red “hit me”-like dreamsign came out of the blue. “This is a dream!” I told myself in excitement. The dream characters looked at me with faces like they are so confused. I didn’t care about them that time. Some even asked me “If this is a dream, can you fly?” I took that as a challenge.
Wings materialized (I was a child! Vivid imagination was my middle name) as if out of my very will. I flew, breaking the 10-foot ceiling as I escaped. I flew all the way to the place I always wanted to go in my dreams… Mars…
I had very little idea what Mars actually was that moment. I just heard its a red planet near Earth that no one visited. So I went to it. Of course, I believed in aliens back then, so they were there. Little green men. I also noticed I didn’t run out of air cause it was a dream!
Anyway, point is, got interested, went to the library, used the card catalog, made a side trip about what running sentences was, and saw the book about lucid dreaming. I KNEW about lucid dreaming at the time, my dad had 2 of those… He told me its name before that incident, and I always thought that LDs were made by chance.
I had been reading about astral travelling and was practicing a technique from the book, similar to MILD, and found myself at a friend’s door and spontaneously became lucid. I became so excited that I woke immediately so the whole thing lasted about 5 seconds! But the experience blew me away - awake in my own mind! That was 35 years ago and I have been studying and playing with LD ever since
I am learning from this site. it is very helpful. a few of my friends have thrown in suggestions. I have been doing reality checks, writing in a dream journal, and mainly reading through this site. All of you have been a great help and thanks.
After only 2 days of researching things on LD, i got my first one and it was LONG!!! That was also my 2nd dream ever recorded 
Heres how i was lucky-- it was a crazy night. SOOOO in the middle of the night— i had my phone in my lap and it fell off my bed when i was asleep which woke me up and i remembered and wrote down my first dream!!!

That really got me staretd on lucid dreaming
