I have a formidable memory. It rarely fails me… And now that I’ve aspired to become a lucid dreamer, it does not surprise me that this morning I woke up and wrote out 4 dreams in heavy detail… covering about 3.5 pages worth actually.
But what do I do now? I tried MILD (I woke up after the first three dreams I was writing in my journal, then tried the MILD, then went back to bed), telling myself after I woke up that I WOULD be lucid and that I would remember my next dream. It almost worked, but my mom’s shouts woke me up before I could even attempt to remain lucid. It seems that during this waking up was when I became lucid actually. I tried flying and stuff but it just turned into me thinking about myself flying into the scenario I last recalled. I wrote about this in my diary…
Valkor! Next chance you get, go ahead and introduce yourself in the Gathering.
Have you been doing Reality Checks? If you haven’t, you should get into the habit of doing them whenever you can. They build into a habit and help you get lucid in dreams.
Now you have to choose an induction technique and practice it during a while. There is a How to choose your technique? topic. It may help. From what you say, I’ve the feeling that DILD techniques based on autosuggestion could work well with you.
Do WBTB. I wrote an extensive article about it in the Lucid Library, if you’re interested. It raises your chances of having a lucid dream by more than 50%. It’s well worth the effort.
