Hi, im new to this stuff, got told by a friend tht had a LD and wanted to try it out…can anyone please give me some tips on what methods/techniques to try etc.
wud be much appreciated…
https://community.ld4all.com/t/how-to-choose-your-technique-by-treader/21732 should give you some ideas. The main page also has good explanation of these techniques.
By the way, don’t forget to introduce yourself in the “BIG Hi, I’m New Here” topic in the Gathering forum. 
Hi barker, welcome to the forum! 
First of all, you’ll have to enhance your dream recall. You can look at the “BIG Remembering dreams” topic in this subforum.
Then you’ll have to choose an induction technique. You can look under the “How” button on the site main page and the “How to choose your technique?” topic on this forum.
And of course, the first thing you should do is looking at the BIG LD FAQ in this very subforum too. 
Put a good effort into your DJ, it really does wonders if you have good dream recall. Not only does it make you remember all your dreams, it also gets you familiar with the dream state and makes LDs more frequent.
