Hello fellow lucid dreamers

**jarjar** · 05-14-2012 11:17 PM

What's up fellow lucid dreamers? I'm jarjar and I just found out about lucid dreaming earlier today. A couple of weeks ago my brother had a lucid dream by mistake a remembered it, so now I want to see if I can do the same thing on purpose. Hopefully after a lot of practice I can fly to Hollywood in my dreams. (that is possible right?) Well that all for now, see you guys around the forums.

Welcome to DreamViews, jarjar!

A great place to start is the Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming. This guide covers the basic information about lucid dreaming.

Flying to Hollywood is definitely possible. With lucid dreaming you are only limited by your imagination - as long as you can imagine it you can do it.

Enjoy your stay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks, I'll be sure to read the guide. I guess that If I do fly to Hollywood I won't see what it actually looks like, just what I think it might look like

That's right. Unless you've seen Hollywood before, your mind will have nothing to base the Hollywood in your dreams on, so it will be based on your expectations.

After practice, you can lucid dream when you focus on it.
Imo it's not that important to try and have them more than 1 a week.

Welcome jarjar!

Start by checking out the DV Wiki and pick an induction technique - the way to have a lucid dream. In general, DILDs are easier than WILDs.

And yes, you can go any place and do anything in you lucids. The frequency differs for everybody, it will depend on you and on your practice. Post if you have a question. Happy dreams

OK, DILD is a lucid dream, that starts out as a regular dream. So you go to sleep normally and in your dream you realize you are draming. For this to happen, you must train your mind to alert you when you dreaming and get you conscious. You do the training during day and as you falling asleep. The practice is really easy and takes just a few minutes couple of times a day. You can read about how to train for DILD here.

WILD is a lucid dream that you enter from waking state. You do it after at least 4.5 hours of sleep and you let your body fall asleep first, so you are still aware when dreams start. I'm not gonna lie, it's tons of fun. But it's not so easy to achieve as DILDs. That's why it's recommended to start with DILDs to get a feel for lucid dreaming. I'm not saying you shouldn't try WILDs, but at the same time it would be a good idea to practice for DILDs.

There are some classes opened in DV academy for intro to LDing, WILDs and DILDs and meditation and other cool stuff, check it out, may help you decide.
I'm not sure if binaural beats are hypnosis, but they do temporalily change your brain wave length.
Happy dreams
