the BIG "Hi, I'm new here!" topic part 53

Hi everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. After trying unsuccessfully for years to LD, I gave up for a long time, but am now going to give it another go. Hoping the collective profound wisdom of the LD veterans here can help me along some. Nice to meet you all! -Clint

hello number1strat, I’m sorry you didn’t have much luck in your earlier attempts.
As long as your general recall is good, I would suggest reading “How to Choose Your Technique” - By Treader and Links and short descriptions to all new and known techniques
They will help you decide which technique will probably work best for you
I really recommend WBTB with whatever method you decide to use. Since it really increases the chance of having a LD

hello DJsnypa

So far I’ve only had one LD that I remembered properly but I didn’t even know what they were then.

I think it helps if you have had a LD before hearing about them because then you know you can become lucid and you don’t have that little bit of doubt in your mind.

I’ve got a lot of stress in my waking life and I don’t get anywhere near enough sleep (avg. 2-4 hrs on weekdays).

ouch! … stress can kill dream recall and 2-4 hours isn’t a lot of sleep
Can you catch up at the week-end? or increase the hours of sleep on week-days?
Most dreamers report that LDs are more common near the end of the night when REM periods are longer.

Oh, and while I’m here I’d like to ask if anyone knows if “white noise” (like the sound of a fan) affects the chance of getting a WILD.

I would think it would have a positive affect if anything, since you could concentrate on the sound while WILDing. (But that is just a personal opinion).

hello ghost

I´ve tried to LD for about 4 months and i´ve had LDs about every night for the past 2 months.

wow, congratulations you appear to have a natural talent for LDing

I hope you all enjoy your time spent here and make some great friends and enjoy some awesome LDs
