Had my first lucid dream! It was a hazy DILD, but it was lucid. I have some questions about it; I made a thread ( http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/blurry...-dream-112959/ ) if you want to help me out.
I'm going to try a WBTB tomorrow.

LOL last night, I woke up at will. I tried to WILD but I was too sleepy. But I didn't gave up, I tried to WILD as hard as I can. When suddenly, I started to say this strange Mantra: "The Power within, the power within, the power within, etc" I kept with the mantra's flow. Again, it changed, i started to say "Earth Fire water wind, Earth fire water wind, etc" after a few minutes, I had a successful WILD. Any explanation for my weird unexpected unintended mantra???
Ah, you were only missing "heart." With those powers combined....you would have had...Captain Planet! Lol.Quote:

LoL cool joke. I remember captain planet as if it was yesterday. Anyways, LDing sure is full of mysteries. More discovery must be done.Quote:

Ah, the best way to make a DC appear is to simply look for them. It is pretty difficult to just spawn a DC out of nowhere, so here is what I like to do. I will walk around corners, through doors, etc. Just walk around imagining who I want to meet. It is also a good idea to call out the name of the person you are looking for. So, if you wanted to meet Obama, simply walk around looking for him while shouting, "OBAMA! OBAMA! WHERE ARE YOU OBAMA?!? :P. It sounds silly, but it works :D!
There was someone I was looking for on my first LD. I thought I could spawn them out of no where but that's not how it happened. I shouted their name and spun around and I was transported to a brightly lit exterior front of an old fashioned diner. Streets were dark, high contrast, reminded me of a level out of Max Payne. The person I was looking for I caught a glimpse of in the window of the diner. When we locked eyes they began walking towards the diner exit. But the dream destabilized right as they were walking down the steps to the street where I was.
I'm surprised to see how the mind works out things. You call out for someone in your dream and you find them, almost naturally, as if it were a scheduled rendezvous.
Yeah, calling out for someone or something helps a lot in dreams. If you are looking for a particular object, like a bowling ball :P. You could search around for it and call out, "Bowling ball!" It will help your chances of finding that was well. It can be used with items as well as people.
Ey I just want to ask, how old are you when started training yourself to the art of LDing???
I was 20 years old when I first joined DreamViews and started lucid training. I turn 23 next month...
Ey Yoshi, I had 2 LDs last night. So the first one was about this resort, beach resort to be specific. I was Lucid, but in the dream, I act as if it is Reality even if I know it's a dream. I even do the rub-my-hand thing to stabilize it. There was a part in my dream that I told my mind that I am dreaming, and I woke up. Disappointed, I slept, and I dreamed again. in the dream, I was Lucid. I was riding on a POGO. Pretty weird. I was at the middle of a road in a forest. So I just went north going where the road is taking me, I saw signs that were weird, just like what I expected in a typical LD. The dream was relaxing, hopping down on a pogo, enjoying the scenes. I then put in mind that it is a dream, And I woke up. It was 7am. I told myself: Damn! I forgot to do awesome stuff like flying, telekinesis, etc.
I got a question:
1. What technique did I performed to LD? I didn't do WILD for sure. All I know was that I'm in a dream.
2. Why did I forgot that I have complete control over my dream?
And also, advanced happy birthday my friend! :breakitdown:
1. You simply had a couple spontaneous DILDs. Nice job, btw :D!
2. Sometimes you just get caught up in the feeling and the amazement of the dream world. I have had dreams where I just walked around looking at everything in amazement.
Thanks a lot for the Happy Birthday :D!!!
This technique sounds very promising and simple. :D I'll try it tonight for my first LD since joining DV! (I've had natural LDs before) I'll post results tomorrow!
Good luck to you and let me know how everything goes!
I think I fell asleep while trying it. :lol:
Ah, that happens from time to time. Don't get discouraged just keep trying. Remember, you need to keep your mind active enough to where you don't lose consciousness, but not so active that you can't fall asleep. Falling asleep is key, but you want to do so while staying conscious.
If I am comfortable on my back and don't feel the need to move. Will not doing the position change affect this method?
Nah, that is fine. If you are nice and comfortable, you can go ahead and stay in that same position.
What is Reverse Blinking?
wow, that actors technique is exactly what I did to get my first lucid.all day I told my lucid dreamer friend that I was going to lucid dream that night for sure, like I had a hunch or something and was going to do it that night.I just new it. so I got up to WBTB and had a my first successful WILD.
Reverse Blinking is where you have your eyes closed and blink them open and closed every so often. So, its name describes it exactly. Its just blinking in the opposite manner of normal blinking. People use this to relax their bodies for the WILDing process. It can help you relax as well as make you sleepy. I'm not exactly sure how or why it works, but I have used it occasionally and it helps a bit. You can give it a shot if you like and see if it works for you.Quote:

Help please!
