I started studying Lucid Dreaming about three weeks ago and finally I had my first lucid dream two days ago! It only lasted for a minute but it was intense and very exciting… I’ve been using WBTB method and last night I tried the FILD technique. However, I have not had successful results with either. (My first lucid dream came naturally just sleeping and not thinking about it)
Anyways, when I use WBTB the moment I wake up I get excited knowing that I am trying to have a lucid dream. I get anxious about it working I guess. WBTB usually gives me very vivid dreams and great dream recall but no matter how vivid and strange they are I never remember to do a RC. With FILD (tried for the first time last night) the same thing happened… I woke up at 3:30am about four hours into sleeping and began the process… But the fact that I’m thinking abut lucid dreaming keeps me awake. I was starting to get that tingly vibration/falling sensation when I start a dream and I told myself to do an RC… but that act woke me up immediately.
I have also tried the LD mp3 inducer on youtube which helped me relax but I could not fall asleep because of the noise. Am I expecting results too early or can I do anything to improve?
Thanks!
