Hi, I’m pretty sure I’ve lucid dreamed before (last year, I think). But they were no where as vivid and powerful as the ones I hear about, here on this forum. I stop with LD last year, but after finding this forum I’ve wanted to get back into lucid dreaming. I’ve been reality checking quite vigorously for about 2.5 days now and no success. My dreams don’t feel like they used to be.
I hear everyone talking about flying and stuff. SO my question; is this stuff real, and how long would it take for me to get back to lucid dreaming?
Yes, this is for real. It is really hard to believe at first, I know it took about 16 lucid dreams before I had a really good, vivid one. It can feel just as real as RL, if not realer.
Getting into it can take some work. I suggest you look around the Quest for Lucidity section, but definitely also look at the FAQs and Tutorials as well as the Article Space. As far as how long it might take, it depends on you. I know some people get their first attempted LD very quickly and others it can take days, weeks or even months. Once you get the idea, though, it’s easier to do it again.
