Hi all love this forum since yesterday
Anyway, I very recently learned about LDing and it sounds so cool I decided to check around the net and this place in an excellent source of info.

After reading up on some techniques I tried doing a WILD last night, I now realize this was silly because I had to wait for the REM stage. Anyway, I think I achieve lucidity very briefly because I started hearing weird noises and I felt like I was moving. At this point I was like, "Yes I think its working!" And then all I remember is walking up at about 4 and going, "Damn must have lost concentration." Good practice though I guess.

Then since it was still dark, I decide to try again and the same symptoms occured again, much faster and I was staying conscious but then a car drove passed my window after about 10 seconds of feeling funny. My train of thought went, "Excellent its working again I think. What is that sound? Oh its a car. Oh damn lucidity feeling is gone."

Soooo, was wondering if some pros could pock holes in what I did (best way to learn) and if anyone has some good tips that might help me maintain my concentration.

I think my main problem is I can concentrate since I've never done it before and don't really know what to look for in my dream/mentally concentrate on.

Cheers
