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:

The promised First Steps Towards Lucid Dreaming Blog is here. Questions are welcomed both here and on the blog. Here is the link:

I remember seeing some tutorial which basically said that if you go to bed then repeat i know i am in a dream in your head until you go to bed

I had a lucid dream that night

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?

I have only experienced lucid dream 2-3 times and all of those dreams were me going to bed. I was kind of conscious and i knew i was sleeping, so i tried to force myself to sleep in the bed to wake up from the dream. Then i woke up, it was amazing :)

I’ve never lucid dreamed before
I’ve tried multiple different methods
None worked

U have any tips?
Avatar of Iconic-freeze
well, from my experience, you have to be super happy before you sleep. one time i had lucid dream was when i was going on a trip and the other time was when i discovered a really fun video game, and i kinda ‘dreamt of reality’

Video games and ice cream make me happy
Avatar of Iconic-freeze
if u are really desperate to try to get lucid dream, then perhaps u should try to play a lot of video games and eat a lot of ice cream one night. (prepare to have consequences tmr lol)

How come I do that every night (it ain't nice)

Avatar of FelixG711

@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.

#17 that’s so true, i also tried to hit myself and see if it will wake me up, but i just can’t control myself (in my lucid dream) to hit myself, i kinda wanna try that

@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.)

I didn't do anything bro that's the problem.
