I just had my 3rd Lucid Dream!
I woke up pretty early, I was feeling really tired and wasn't looking towards doing the cycles but I did anyway. Forced myself to do the cycles, dragged through them. It took me about 10 m
I happened across this term here yesterday and found the description of the technique from the link in the sidebar. The OP claimed this technique was something he developed. But the truth is that it originates from a lit
Hello all. As of now, I've been LDing for a year - doing the typical beginner cycle of quitting and beginning over and over. As of late I've been trying to be more consistent in my efforts. This year I've had about 45
Last night I tried SSILD after I woke up from my alarm and used the bathroom. When I did the cycles, I had a really hard time focusing on my senses, especially touch and my mind wandered a lot. I was wondering, how does
In real world we are bound by many rules such as law of physics, conservation of energy, life and death, and so on. In our dreams we are also bound by many rules. Where are they from? They are our own creations. We a
So I've learned about SSILD about a week ago from here and decided to practice it every night since then. Things have not gone as smoothly as others have claimed. So far no dreams I've had were lucid, nor were any of my

For those who can lucid dream, after you wake up is your memory of the dream more, the same, or less detailed than your memories of regular dreams? And does it matter whether the lucid dream was early in the night vs. r

This post is a reply I gave to a SSILD user on another forum. It explains what I believe to be the theory behind SSILD. Previously I have always refrained from getting into such theories, or rather, hypothesis. I still d
I decided to take a nap today because that is when i get closest to having an ld. As i was nodding off i tried that new ssild method and started letting my mind wonder and drift past random pictures and sounds. Then i fo
I've run into the hardest challenge of my ld career, and I need some help to solve it. It all started a couple of months ago when I went on a road trip to Chicago. I was really bored in the car and I started thinking abo
Okay, so I'm someone who falls asleep really fast. I've never made it through a single long cycle without zzzzzzzzz'ing off.

I have had some LDs before, but most of them felt like "nothing" upon waking up. It just felt like some random blurry dream. Yet I have some non LD dreams that were so vivid, that I sometimes mistaken them for memories!
Hello, I'm 16, I've tried WBTB with FILD and MILD many times without success. I'm kind of slacking with RCing as I didn't recognise any improvement with them. Anyways, I have got my dram recall rate up, remembering scene

I just had a n-LD and reflecting on it, there was really nothing too weird about it, at least what I remember of it. There was one strange thing which I questioned within the dream (there was a stream I went to visit wi
