How did YOU learn to LD? - Part II

Been lucid dreaming as long as I can remember… before I even knew what they were called. I don’t remember my first LD, but I remember my first flying dream, and the two probably happened around each other sometime, because now I use flying as a dream sign.

I had LDs for years, but rarely until I read a castaneda book “the art of dreaming”. After that, I started recording my dreams every morning on a digital voice recorder (They are awesome for this…) and ever since, I have had about 10 in the last 3 months. Very cool.

Theres a book called “creative dreaming” that as a beginner I found awesome as well. Lays out all the basics.

Me too I found about it in Castaneda’s books but I didnt knew it was called Lding, later on I found out from the internet.

Hah, I learned from this site believe it or not.
Learned the techniques but didn’t use them much, let it come naturally.
I’m sure I have had many LD before I knew of the term tho :wink:

me and my friends found out about these supplements that would help us sleep better i did some research and found out about lucid dreaming
from then on i’ve been recording my dreams and going/triing to lucid

I already had LDs before I knew about them…but I had to develop a few strategies before I could have loads more.

Before the internet had much to say about Lucid dreaming I read Castaneda’s the art of dreaming. I’m glad i found a site that somewhat validates what I have been trying to do and understand. If you haven’t done it keep trying its attainable.

This fella I know years ago used to visit me by doing it. It made me research the whole thing and I started doing it and after a week, I pulled it off. Been doing them for 10 years now.

I had them naturally, but very rarely as a kid. When I was about 12 I did some research and discovered the MILD technique. I didn’t really put much into it at first, and as a result didn’t get any dreams. Now I keep a dream journal and use mild and wild.

I had a few more when I was little, and they came about from randomly realizing in the dream, “Oh, I’m dreaming!” I may have known about LDing in general before I had them; I can’t remember. Most or all of them have been low-level, since I’d try something lucidly then I’d slip out of it as I let things unfold on their own. I recall several times that I’d try to fly, and either I couldn’t get very high, or I’d run into a ceiling. (I found myself in my basement in the dream once.) My last low-level lucidity dreams were mostly creepy dreams in which I said, “At least this is only a dream, since I won’t have to worry about this in reality.” I had more when I kept my dream journal for a while, but I got lazy after a while, so last night I started it again in hopes of getting more. :content:

I learned how to LD by reading the Lucid Dreaming wikibook by R3mot :content: . At first, I tried MILD for a few months, without success, and then WILD, which I still haven’t had any luck with. My first LD simply happened. One night I decided that I simply couldn’t LD and gave it up on the induction techniques. Surprisingly, I had my first LD that night. It seems that I have a better chance of having a lucid dream without induction techniques. :eh:

I learned to Lucid Dream from the dreamviews forum. The method I used was WBTB, ( I kept falling asleep and waking up)

I still don’t know what exactly they are, that’s why I’m here. :smile:

I havent… :cry:

yet :content:

I can’t believe I haven’t posted in this topic before! Owell here it goes:
I first visited sites over sites in search for techs and advice, then i stumbled into EWLD, and it was love at first sight :content: read it in a jiffy, and that’s pretty much what got me started. To this day, i still look for new techs/pointviews to improve my LD ability.

I never really “learned it”; It has just happened at some moments. Not actually sure how, but my dreams would become clearer than normal (so darn clear I had trouble distinguishing them from reality), and then I’d pinch myself to see if I was dreaming or not – and voila! I knew I was dreaming, and freedom had been acheived. Awesomeness ensued.

Uhm yea I never learned. I was a natural thats all. Been doing it since I was 8, thought everyone else did the same thing. then my friend comes up to me and asks me if I know im dreaming when I dream and thats when I relized what it was called and not everyone did it. So now I am researching and practicing to make my Lucid Dreams better and to expierence them. So far I had Ice Cream, Mermaid, School, Baseball famouse, Books, Inks, School Bus, Lost, Funeral, party, whales, saving sister from ocean by my sisters pellow. Haha thats my favoritee!!! I saved her when we were on whales being chased by sharks and then We came to shore but she was no where to be found so I saw my sis pellow and stepped on her and saved her! lol

I think my first LD was WBTB. Hard to rememebr though because i’ve been LD’ing on and off for 3 years. I found out about LDing because I was interested in my subconscious mind. Once I started creating a dream journal my dream recall and ability to LD improved significantly. I’ve found that if I set my mind to LD’ing I can get one about every other day. I just have to keep the intention in mind throughout the day that I want to be aware that i’m dreaming. That and having good dream recall.
