Hello, I am a new member, lurking since August 10, but this is MY first post. Duh. I am 18, and my name is Alex.
Well, I learned about Lucid Dreams only since July 14th, and just by the awearness of that very fact, I hit my first DILD in July 20th. Awful. My second one came on Aug 1st (so-so), however the third one was today, It was 100% realistic with 100% full consiousness and I 've drawn some great conclusion about these little miracles. Todays dream must have lasted about 5-6 minutes.
So novice darlings (like me):
-
Avoid conjuring broken up boyfriends, lost relatives, or died people. You will 99% try to convince them that they are dreaming, then will lost concentration on the fact that the specific situation is unreal, and kiss your lucidity goodbye…
-
Keep telling yourself that this is a dream.
-
Unless you are something like the God of Lucids, avoid any sexual contact. In my today’s 3rd lucid dream I was having a 10/10 lucidity. It was a high dream. I ruined it all when I tried to unpack the “package” of a sexy bussinessman I’ve once met. Honey, he was having like 10+ underware one inside the other and my (sexual?) frustration lead me to the end of this - wonderfully realistic - LD.

My first flight was 100% successful. If you are having problems, DONT “SWIM”. Just imagine you are ‘Storm’ from X-Men, and imagine you control an amount of air which will fly you high. I could feel the cold air through my hair and toes!! EXTRA TIP: Try to change the weather!
-
Talking about X-Men, I had enough time to performe some great experiments. I tried to throw fire flames from my hands and it actually happened! I actually heard a 100% realistic sound which was that “whoooooosh” sound you hear when next to a flamethrower! Try that!

Your dream will not fade unless you have the fear it will fade. Personally, today I experienced an incredibly stable dream. I actually yelled “OMG this IS like reality!”. I was certrain that NOTHING could mess up with my dream, and so it did.

Tips: MILD technique works fine, but in order to induce DILDS, you will find your conciousness more… helpful when there is a “pause” of action in your normal dream. In all of my three LD’s, I got Lucid when I was bored by the dream’s action (1st: a boring trip to the city I live [athens] 2nd: a 2 minute stay in my grandma’s bathroom 3rd: a teacher trying to learn me how to paint kittens)
-
If you find yourself in a very familiar environment, change it AT ONCE. It messes up with your Lucidity…
-
Try to eat a fruit. That’s ONLY what I have to say.
P.S. I’ve tried WILD like a million times and it doesn’t work for me for some reason. The procedure seems to keep me awaken…
