I have a question. Do you have to relize you are in a dream to be LD? Is the tingling I feel normal? Please resond with answers or suggestions.

Yes. That’s what lucidity is, the realisation you are dreaming.

As Darkness said, lucidity is achieved when and only when you realize you’re dreaming. (Or, for a broader definition, when you comprehend your current state of consciousness, whether that be awake or asleep.) If you know you’re dreaming, you’re lucid. If you don’t know you’re dreaming, you’re not. That simple. :smile:

Tingling? Yes, that’s normal. When are you experiencing it? During a dream, or while falling asleep or waking up?

That’s a relief. I am experiencing it when I am bordering sleep. Like I am almost asleep then all of the sudden, if feels like my eyes shoot to the back of my head and I start tingling and it’s hard to breathe.

Can you move at all?

thats a stage of SP, u can actually induce lucidity off that using the WILD technique.

No, I can’t move at all. I think I had this old hag once, but I didn’t see anything and nothing came at me or anything. What I mean by:

was, is the only way of having an LD is realizing you are in a dream? Is there a direct aproach to an LD? I’m guessing that’s what an WILD is right? Is there alternate methods of doing a WILD besides the walking down the stairs method?
