Lucid Dream Help

This is the place to learn how to lucid dream if you are stuck, or help people lucid dream if you are already a pro. I will try to answer every comment, so you questions will almost certainly be answered (I don’t have a degree in psychology or anything so my answers might not be perfect, but I’ve been improving quickly!)

I also have a lucid dreaming club that needs members, but no pressure to join:

Hmm, that’s a way of doing it @YauNingC2. It certainly helps. I use daytime MILD, affirmations like yours, critical thinking reality checks, and traditional reality checks, although I’m thinking of getting a LILD mask (maybe not worth it.)

Out of curiosity, what level of control did you have in the lucid dream, or didn’t you experiment? Do you continue trying to lucid dream?

Alright, sorry for missing this conversation.

@Iconic-freeze,

I’ve had that too. I was half-asleep but started to dream, and realized that my dream eyes weren’t real, and that I could open my real eyes and wake up. I probably should have tried to fall fully asleep, but it’s okay.

@ApexVortex,

I’m curious what methods you tried, would need more details to see where you went wrong (if you went wrong) but I have been doing what I said I was doing in the intro and have also been keeping a dream journal (I highly recommend it.)

@Iconic-freeze Yeah, it was pretty interesting to be “between worlds.” However, I’ve had lucid dreams where I was fully asleep, and it was undoubtedly better.

@ApexVortex, what do you mean? I thought you tried several methods?

Yeah…that’s rough.

#24, so you’re saying that lucid dreams just happen, and there aren’t any real methods to induce them?

@YauNingC2,

It can be disheartening to not have any lucid dreams despite trying. My methods only take a few minutes, don’t lose me any sleep, and seem to work for me, despite not being super involved ones. I recommend trying to train to lucid dreams by doing reality checks in real life when something unusual happens.Eventually, you will do that in your dreams (all dreams have inconsistencies that wouldn’t happen in real life, big or small.) Keeping a dream journal helps you identify dream signs that you can notice later

@ApexVortex, there are lots of methods to induce them!
