How did YOU learn to LD? - Part II

Well my body just wanned to ld lol, then i learned more about ld and learn how to rcs and stuff.

My brother told me something about controlling own dreams and I felt like testing it :tongue:
now when I have tested I can’t stop because it is so fun :smile:

Reading books helped me a lot , then I started doing RC ,and keeping a dream journal was very helpfull too.

my story is kind of weird…a friend of mine told me about lucid dreaming and it dint really intrigue me then…after around a year or so, i tried that movie which he had recommended, ‘a waking life’, and everything else just followed as if it was meant to be…

for me, that movie was life changing…it added a fresh new perspective on the subjective nature of reality…

I read about it on another forum that referred to this website. So I read the guide on here and started reading forum and doing RC’s.

hi all, i had my first LD few months ago… for some time i stopped practicing LD’s, but now im back :smile:. To have first lucid dream i was doing RC, keep DJ what am still doing…
So I was doing DILD tec. and it’s a very good start i think, and I will try to combine DILD with MILD. It should give a good result. If someone have some advice pls post it.

sorry about english… im from Europe, small country called Croatia…

by going on this forum!

It’s kind of the core of my family. My uncle Stark-and he didn’t dissapoint the name- had so many books, articles, notes, and even documentaries for the family that’s down the line to use. In fact, my mom especially gets down with the dreams. That’s another long story though…too long and complicated. Good thing I like complicated.

i found out about lucid dreaming on a show called American Dad (a pretty common show). they basicly had half an episode about it. they tricked th kid who trained himself to have lucid dreams to think he was having one in real life. long story short he thought he would be able to fly and jumped out a window. he lived so its alright.

Haha, I saw that episode a few weeks back.

I found out about lucid dreaming from a forum, but I still haven’t had an LD yet :\

My first lucid dream was during a free-falling dream that had kept repeating itself quite a few times before, and I had read an article about how if you stayed in your dream before you hit the ground, you wouldn’t die or anything hurtful, so I became lucid and what do you know, I didn’t die c:

I did not learn to get it. Something trigers it to happen every night without effort.
Side effect: Weariness every morning

I don’t think the tiredness is from LD’s. I know whenever I have LD’s I’m just as rested as any other night. The fact is your mind and body are still at rest. Even though you are aware you are not awake. Perhaps the LD’s are a side effect of whatever makes you tired?

I was able to at a young age and i used it to deal with my night mares including a long lasting reacurring one which bothered me a good few years. Then after that i was experimenting with dreams and music through age 13-15. Then i tried internet search’s and i couldnt find much untill i was 17 then i found this site and my dreams have increased dramatically. i would say i lucid dream twice a week now.

The problem is only my body is at rest during Lucid, my mind is not. Felt like…my mind is somewhere else at night. Anyway…I just don’t get it. Is it really that hard to lucid for you all?
One thing I know for sure is, the reason why I Lucid so easily is why I’m so tired…just don’t know why or whats causing it.

I wrote down every single one of my dreams as well. I was scared of “Old Hag” at first but once I got over that I had and LD the day the North American clocks rolled back an hour, which was an extra hour of REM. Ever since I’ve just recorded everything. I also recently exited a dry spell with 3 LDs in 3 weeks.

I learned by keeping a Dream Journal and learning how to meditate and clear my mind with ease so doing that it made the WILD technique so much easier and pretty much works every night

I learned about LDing from a good friend of me. He thought i would find it interesting. Now we share our dreams and we motivate each other. A few days ago i talked to him and he said he was stopped to Lucid Dream. I told him it was amazing and he needed to start again. The next day he told me he have had 5 LDs in his last hour of sleep. He told me all 5. They were amazing!

The first lucid dream i ever had was when i gave up :tongue:

Yep, sometimes taking a little break can make the difference. Getting rid of the added stress of thinking “I WANT AN LD” every night can really help.
