Trying to Dream in a Dream

Quest for Lucidity
1

Multiple times now, I’ve tried a certain method of WILD where you lie in bed and imagine your dream and make it as realistic as possible until you go into a lucid dream (I guess that’s VILD). I’ve tried it a couple times now, and succeeded to get into a dream. But, my problem is that, even when I start dreaming, I still think I’m awake. For example, last night I tried the method and started dreaming. There was a DC with me. He was trying to help me dream (aparently). Finally, he told me, “Stop. Do a reality check.” I turned to him and replied, “No. I’ll mess up my chances for having a lucid dream.”
He shook his head. “Come on,” he said. “I’m getting tired of trying to dream. Let’s just take a break.” I was getting pretty annoyed, so I walked away. As soon as I did, I started to wake up. I’m still kicking myself for being so stupid. I mean, the guy even told me to do a RC!

Anyways, how can I help this?

aw, that sucks! :tongue: I’ve tried to WILD and suddenly someone comes in the room. “Get out, I’m trying to WILD here!” I say. But yeah, it’s a DC :cry:

I guess you can try your tech while expecting something like that to happen, being really aware to catch such thingsm, just like you would cathc a FA. And just keep trying, you’ll get the hang of it :grin:

On the bright side, once something like that happens it’s less likely to happen again because you’re aware of it :content:
