Thread: How to Lucid Dream

Can anyone explain this to me?

Then for you, once a day would be the amount needed.

As I said in the tutorial, though its fine to just reality check that one time during the day, its also ok to begin to look for more things to reality check about in your day to day life (become more aware of your environment and you will begin to see more "odd" things about it).


An example I like to use is the paper clip.
Lets say I walk into my room and see a paper clip on my dresser. I don't remember putting that paper clip there, so I reality check just to make sure I'm not having a dream.

You can look at even the smallest odd happenings as cues of being in the dreamworld.

Cheers to you BillyBob and my inevitable DILD tonight

Excellent!
Congratulations on your first LD of the week
