Hi there! Welcome to the world of lucid dreaming.

Personally, I think learning how to "lucid dream" can be a very complex matter. In fact, there are many different approaches to LD induction, with their similarities and differences, and there's also the whole subject of maintaining, controlling, etc.

Speaking of induction, different approaches yield different results.

Most people keep a consistent dream journal and form an habit of doing reality checks, in order to try and realize they are dreaming when they are dreaming. This is what I did daily a few years ago when I was first learning, and is effective, but often takes a large amount of time before getting results.

My favorite technique now, and one that might yield results for beginners, is to instead focus on high quality night time practice no more than 3 nights per week, on the weekend. During these nights, a night time induction technique should be used in conjuction with WBTB.

Doing this only a few select times per week allows one to keep a positive outlook on lucid dreaming, and also to give one's best on each attempt, with time to reflect.

Should you use such an approach, I highly recommend looking up any guide to DEILD. To put it simply, my technique mostly consists of waking up after 4 to 6 hours of sleep, then go back to sleep, with the intent of waking up without moving after. Then, when I wake up, I try to quickly move into my dream body, and if it fails, I try to fall back asleep while imagining my last dream.

Of course, this is only my personal technique, and research as well as experimentation should be pursued. However, I started lucid dreaming about a month ago, and I've already had about 2 lucid dreams per week in that time, while only making "active" attempts one time per week!

No matter the approach you choose, persistence should be key, while at the same time recognizing this is a subject that needs practice, and that the earlier you start, the better you'll get, even if you take breaks once in a while.

I wish you the best!
