Let´s achieve LD together!

Didn’t know about this, can you explain a little more than what is written on the site? Because I’d like to try it today :content:

Well I can only describe how I do it:
First I set the alarm clock so that I get about 3h sleep. I don’t get up I just stay in bed. The my middle and ring finger alternately up and down. It’s important that your index and little finger are staying on the ground. I do this for about 30 seconds, but I don’t actually count. When I think it’s enough I make a RC and I’m hopefully in a dream.

It could be that your vision is a mess. You can solve this by putting on glasses or “tearing” the vision apart. It could be that this doesn’t work, but to be honest, I don’t know more techniques. Request on members: Does anyone know other techniques?

Detailed version:
FILD

Does it work well?

For me it works! :content:

It didn’t work this time…

Does it usually take a few tries?

The FILD tech? Ive been doing this tech, but only during summers. It works most of the times and doesnt reQuire so many tries, but the important thing is to be tired and relaxed, if you are tensed when doing FILD it wont work. And then when you do the nose-RC, dont move your arm too fast or you might break the SP :wink:

How lucky I am, tomorrow I just have one free hour before going to school and I’m gonna try WILD again! This time I’m gonna do it! :tongue:
About FILD, I think I can do that also in the other days because it doesn’t require me to WBTB so I don’t loose sleep time. Actually I was programming of doing it this morning but yesterday night my mobile’s battery was completely empty and so I had to put it on charge instead :sad: well I have a lot of time to try it! Really looking forward to the end of school, I’m gonna WILD / FILD/ ANYTHING everyday :cool:

Success! :hurray:
Today I had my first LD that lasted longer than a few seconds. I did WBTB after I woke up this night(like 10 minutes before my alarm would go) and wrote my last dream in my DJ. I then practiced MILD repeating my mantra.
Next thing I know is that I’m in this videogame counterstrike(I should play less in RL :wink:) where I just knew that I was dreaming. I did the nose RC and I could breathe.
Because it was my first LD I didn’t want to try some crazy stuff so I just explored the environment and played a few rounds. But I can’t really remember if I was lucid until the end of the dream or if it went to a normal dream.
Anyways, I’m looking forward to the next LD :smile:

well done :smile: I hope I’ll achieve it soon too! I’m gonna try something again today

I´ve been wanting to do VILD with WBTB last two nights. I set my alarm to go off three hours after I´ve been sleeping. I have had no luck by doing it because everytime I wake up, it is morning already. So either my alarm doesn´t work or I just turn it off in my sleep and forget that I did it.
Tonight I will put my phone farer, so if alarm goes off I have to come out from my bed to turn it off, which means I have to wake up. If I still wake up in the morning then I know that my alarm is broken.
Wish you success with LD :woot:

Yeah good idea moving the phone! Because I can’t have an alarm go on in the middle of the night as my sister sleeps in the same room, I putted on the vibration and putted the phone under the pillow. This works very well for me, never missed the alarm! Also I named the alarm WBTB so that when I turn it off I remember what I have to do too! :tongue:

I’m new to the community.
I had read a lot of LD stuff. Yesterday tried to get my first one. But couldn’t, tried WILD and FILD.

I didn’t get to a LD, neither to SP, but got too closer. I saw like some bubbles and a light orbiting around me. Did a RC, but I wasn’t in a dream, maybe I was in an intermediate state, really don’t know.

Which method is the best for begginers? (the most effective, even if dreams are short)
Also, I’m very tired at night and can’t concentrate very well. I think I need to train my memory first with a DJ.

Yeah which method is best for achieving your first lucid dream

hey guys wish me good luck I’m gonna try FILD today :tongue:

Yeah, Ive been wanting to know that too…

And good luck!

thanks I’m gonna tell you tomorrow how has it gone :happy:

:wallhit: bah :wallhit:
I tried WILD-it wasnt very fun. My alarm clock plays ode to the joy at 4:00 a.m(decided to try some different times). I woke up at 4:00. So now im trying WILD. Close my eyes, no HI, but I get the roll over signal. I go with it, roll over, and the next thing i know my alarm clock is sounding like a telephone and it says 4:65 on it. I think to myself “thats strange”, then go back to “sleep”.
:ding:
Its amazing how fast you fall asleep though. Now i’m beginning to see how FILD works. However, a miracle has occured. A bit later, the MILD i was doing at the begging of the night kicked in. Was fun being lucid. However, it has led me to writing This

Yeah I know the feeling! I missed a FA too the other day where I wrote my DJ, now the cover of my DJ is full of phrases like “Are you dreaming?” or “Lucid Dreaming!” or “Reality Check!” :tongue: I hope it works if I ever dream of writing my DJ again.
Anyway I had no luck with FILD today but I gotta say that I had never done it before so the results were good anyway because now I know that I have to wait a little longer before doing a RC :content: gonna try again tomorrow!
-------------------------- EDIT --------------------------
I tried againt with FILD but I failed. It seems like I’m to sleepy to be really conscious of what I’m doing and I can’t even remember completely what I did before I fell asleep again :sad: I’ll give it a shot another time today, but finally I’ll do another WILD sunday :content:

Hi everyone! I just had my first LD last night after about a month of trying.
It was awesome! Although all I did was realise that I was dreaming and then did a few cartwheels and trying (and failing) to fly. I lost lucidity after a few minutes, though.

well that’s a good result anyway :smile: congrats for succeeding in your quest!
I can’t get why but FILD seems not to work for me. I get the feeling that I’m too sleepy when I wake up but if I am not I can’t succeed in the thecnique either :sad: Well, tomorrow’s a sunday so it’s WILD time! :grin:
