heyyyy guys i need some help please! during 2007 summer my boyfriend and i got into lucid dreaming and we talked about it a lot and looked up websites and stuff. after that school started and we had other things to do but a few months ago we got into again. we bought a bunch of books and made a list of things we wanted to do while lucid. he looked up techniques and we tried them and he got a couple lucid dreams but i have yet to get one. im not trying as hard as i can, but im still trying. i dont know what im doing wrong? or maybe its just not possible for some people to get them? i tried to do a WILD a couple weeks ago and i remember staying awake but after a while i was so tired that i gave up and i immediatly went into a dream. i dont know if that means something, maybe i shouldnt have given up on that but i want to know if i was close… thanks for helping me!! dream on!!!
welcome to LD4all
You shouldn’t judge yourself against someone else’s progress. Some people just have to wait longer for their first LD. Also different techniques suit different people.
It could be you aren’t trying to LD often enough. I would suggest reading the choosing your technique thread in the knowledge base which may give you a good idea of which tech may work the best for you.
But talking about dreams and lucidity with your boyfriend in the daytime will help and a simple technique that won’t keep you awake is FILD it is a WILD variation using a RC to show you are dreaming
thanks! im going to learn about a FILD and i’ll probably try it tonight.
