The BIG "Hi, I'm new here" topic part 75

[Splash (She/They)]

Also a totally valid goal! I hope you find lucid dreaming and the community here helpful on your journey!

Hi everyone!
I am a 30 year old woman living in Sweden. It’s only about a week since I really discovered exactly how much I want to learn to lucid dream (even though I have heard about the phenomenon earlier), both for the sake of creativity and personal growth (including anxiety management). I have always had a close relationship with my dreams, mostly for good but even sometimes for bad. Some of my best creative ideas, mostly in fictional writing, have actually their origins in this mysterious subconscious, but from time to time I am struck by dreams so depressing that I can feel sad, empty or confused a big part of that following day. On the other hand, a really cheerful or beautiful dream can during the right circumstances give the most ordinary day a slight shimmer of magic. Therefore, I have always naturally been quite good at dream recall and can still remember fragments from dreams I had when I was a child.

Dream journaling has now improved this skill even more, even though I only have been doing it for about six days. And guess what, I am quite sure I got my first few moments of lucidity already the second day (or morning) of it!

That has indeed made me even more eager and inspired to learn more about it!

I expect that you have already found the Dream Journal forum. You may like to post about the few moments of lucidity and the rest of the dream in there.

[Annissa]

Oh yes, I will! =)

How can I learn to touch dream objects? I rarely touches things in normal dreams, at least not without noticing it quite much (but I think still do).

[moogle (mognet)]

You ‘just do’ … if this doesn’t come naturally to you, set the intent to touch objects in the dream. Visualise doing it. You could also touch items in your own home when awake to get used to it.

It’s amazing when you do it in your early LDs especially. Feeling a solid object … yet knowing it is the dream world.

[Lumiscnt (Exo)]

You just do touch.Like moggle said,she/he gave you a start

[the_JJ_bug]

I’m new here too. I Used to LD but family responsibilities became more important. Now it is time that there is more time for LD and it would benefit family if I was more relaxed, like I used to be when LDing was my focus. I have had many LDs and am looking forward to getting back into it. Much Love to you all.

Welcome to the forum @the_JJ_bug

Did you used to keep a dream journal? If you did then reading old LD experiences would be a brilliant idea to get your focus back on to LDing.

"How to Choose Your Technique" - By Treader

[color=red]Treader’s guide should really be in the Knowledge Base. A special thanks to Treader for writing this tutorial. Thank you Treader Enjoy! [/color] Treader the Lucid Layman Presents: How to Choose Your Technique Note: You will need to know about MILD, WILD, WBTB, and reality checking techniques to understand my post. Understanding how to improve dream recall is also recommended. Most of the proficient lucid dreamers I meet offer vague advice on choosing a technique such as …

and

All LD techniques

If you think a technique should be added to this list, you can post here WILD: Wake Induced Lucid Dream Generic explanation (in the LD4all Guide) When using the WILD technique, you go from being awake, directly into the dreaming state. That’s why it is called Wake Induced Lucid Dream. The trick is to recognize the hypnagogic state and stay conscious while it develops in dream images. You will then be able to literally step into your own dream world. The hypnagogic state occurs on…

Plus I’m sure your brother can give you lots of advice.

Thanks @moogle! I knew there were posts,bu ti never knew the posts would be this helpful!

aah,I see,my brother?he’s a funny one.

Hi everyone, new to this forum. I must agree with Moogle’s reply to Exotic - WBTB is also my preferred method. I’ve been lucid dreaming (I always wonder if I should say ‘dreaming lucidly’?) for nearly 20 years, and I’m currently using lucid dreams to try to generate ideas for a book cover. I love it when your subconscious surprises you… presenting you with something unexpected, rather than just seeing what you expect to see.

ooo, @benjhenry what is the book about? We have the Garden (for anything you create) and even Fruits of Lucidity (for things from LDs)
Welcome to ld4all

[Lumiscnt (Exo)]

Welome to the team @benjhenry;

My preferred method is my own,with FILD or MILD itself.Nice to know you like WBTB,and for nearly 20 years?I haven’t eve reached 20 yet,i’m still a teen!And as moogle said,your book cover ideas could be placed in #garden-of-creation for anything you do!Hope to see you in future posts!
