Hey everyone, im new
Ive recently been trying to get a LD (gave up a while ago but now im trying harder lol). This time ive been keeping a dream diary and now, pretty much every morning i remember my last dream very clearly. but so far, no LD.
My main method has been WILD. i read most of the tips on the site and my technique has been repeating “One, im dreaming. Two, im dreaming. etc” in my head and attempting to visualize myself flying as i do this. i seem to remember myself doing this the next morning up to when i fall asleep, but i think i am losing track and drifting off into sleep before i can initiate the LD. I usually fall asleep really quickly (within 5 or 10 minutes at the most). Is counting a bad method for me? Should i just focus on flying, or something like that?
Also, when my alarm clock goes off in the morning ill hit snooze and then concentrate on LD’ing as i fall back asleep quickly for another 10 minutes. Is this method effective as well?
uh, you could try not having an alarm clock that goes off, because then you arent distrascted by turning it on snooze or hearing it? im notsure, but i think that would help
The method I have used is a MILD/WILD combination. Instead of counting, try saying something like: “I will realize I am Dreaming” “Will take control of my dream”. That helped me. Another rmethod that I have recently been using is the Mental Scream Method. I found doing this took me deeper into WILD. I am also one of those people who fall asleep withing minutes.
Don’t get frustrated. If you find one thing isn’t working for you. try a new method. Personaly, I would try each method or combination of methods for a week or two before moving on to the next one. Don’t think to yourself “I hope I will have a LD” be confident and and say “I WILL have a LD tonight”. and mean it.
Well, good luck, and hope to hear of your 1st Lucid Dream soon.
Dream Oracle- i need the alarm clock because ive got school
Weasel- thanks a lot for those tips! ill definately try repeating those phrases tonight. do you suggets i picture any visions while thinking it? and also, how does mental screaming work?
Do you use WBTB with WILD ? if not try that it might help.
I mostly say before going to sleep, “when I am dreaming, I’ll know that I’m dreaming” it always helps me a lot.
and just remember if the tech you are using now doesn’t work for you, there are many more techs here that can be used.
As suggested, you should really try to combine WBTB + any method, but especially with WILD or MILD. Chances on LD’s are very much higher that way! Good luck
