How to LD

[liquidreality]

I have only had a hand full of LDs but when I do they are magnificent, in every one I was able to fly and in every one I had an assume amount of control... my only problem is that i can never get my self into one from the waking state and I can only get a LD when dreaming if something like the trees getting up and running away happens. would someone please help me to learn how to get into an LD I love the ones I had in the past but I wish I had more....any ideas?

Dream journal. Dream journal. Dream journal.

I know you already know this, but I can't overstate it enough!

I have one... but i want to learn WILD do you know any posts that would help me?

I think your first WILDs and your more frequent WILDs will happen in the middle of the night or the early morning, as you are finishing writing dream journal entries. Your mind is freshly attentive to the idiosyncrasies of dreamlife, while your body is begging to go back to sleep.

At least, that's how it happened for me. Since then I've had a few daytime WILDs, but I still can't just do it whenever.

By the time you start WILDing between dream journal entries, the differences between reality and dream reality starts to become very confusing, as you'll have dreams that seem startlingly real. It can be traumatic if you let it get to you.

So, I'm sorry, no, I don't know of any specific posts that would help you, but I'm sure that you'll find some nuggets of insights using the search tool. Until then, good luck!

Heh, whatever works. Some people use drugs. Some even hold their breath until they pass out. I can't say I recommend anything other than dream journaling, dream journaling, and dream journaling.

its funny, i used to take a dream journal about 2 years ago and since have started using it again and man, i have LD's almost every night...anyways a couple of friends just out of nowhere have told me they could lucid dream, i helped them out and they also take journals of their dreams and can have them regularly.  Telos you are right my friend the key is a dream jornal....

I had my first LD a in a while a few days ago.

I became self-aware and said to myself:

I am lucid dreaming

I am having a lucid dream

Oops, I am awake....

All in about 5 seconds.  lol
