(I submitted the title with a typo, it’s meant to say “30 lucid milestone”)


5 months (and 1 day) ago, I had my first lucid dream after deciding to not try lucid dreaming— A miracle highly unexpected, yet welcome nonetheless.
After my first lucid dream, I wanted to pursue lucidity. I don’t know what I would be doing in life right now if I haven’t gotten that one lucid dream. My guess is that I’d be thinking things through completely differently. In these mere 5 months, I’ve discovered who I really am and my reason for living.

My first 5 days of trying were chaotic. All I did was repeat “I’m dreaming” when I was falling asleep, nothing else to help.

5 days after my first lucid dream, I had joined the Dream Café discord server to get help with lucid dreaming. There, I found many helpful guides, including some from this site, dreamviews.com, but I wouldn’t create an account here for several months.

I tried 2 lucid dreaming techniques in my first 30 days - MILD and WILD. I wasn’t doing MILD too well (although I was doing more than just repeating a phrase) and I was doing fine with WILD.

But I had taking a liking to WILD techniques, and decided to use them as my primary induction methods.
With that, I was off into the woods. Practicing with WILD, trying to take lucid naps with it, etc.
I tried variations of the WILD technique, like DEILD. I also tried out an obscure technique called MFG.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly. During this timeframe, I even got my first 4 controlled lucid dreams. Even got daily lucids. It continued for 2 months, until the next month hit.

During this month, I was highly pessimistic with lucid dreaming. I had no lucids for the whole month, when literally last month I was lucid daily. There isn’t much to say about this month; it’s simply a dry spell.

Up from late June to today, I have been getting back into the daily lucid zone. This time, I’m not doing it with WILD. I’m doing it with DILD.

Last night, I had 2 lucids back-to-back in the same night. Which changed my lucid count from 28 to 30.


And now I’m here, 9 AM writing this thread.
I have yet to get another lucid dream about my persistent realm. Maybe, just some point in the future, I could become omnilucid. But that’s not one of my goals. I’m at the single focal point of daily lucids.

That’s it, sweet dreams!
