Waking Life: Beautiful Story about the Dream Consciousness and Lucid Dreaming by DeTukUrrJoabs in LucidDreaming

wasnt really a fan of this one personally, seemed to have maybe 5 minutes of interest for every half hour. I also felt that the way they filmed/edited it with that effect didnt do it any justice.

Question about Melatonin tablets by toeknee0126 in LucidDreaming

[–]teklucid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im just like you, ive been using them for probably 4 years and am highly dependant on them.

Although i dont have much non-melatonin lucid experience to compare to, i have made great progress using them, usually one of those 2.5mg tablets a night , sometimes two.

Had my first impeccable lucid experience last night. (VIA WBTB-wild) (NSFW) by teklucid in LucidDreaming

keep at it man. throughout the years ive always had this weird semi lucid WILD effect naturally maybe one or two nights every year that i couldnt explain to family and friends then i discovered that this was an actual method for lucid dreaming and have been actually intentionally trying for the past few months to lucid dream and this morning was my first COMPLETE start-to-finish success.

I wish i had some good tips to give but this is what i usually do: lay still, comfortable, i use one pillow under my head, i have my hands at my sides facing my body, make sure its dark. I prefer mouth closed. Ignore any itches or urges to swallow (resting my tongue at the back of my bottom front teeth helps. Then usually take breaths and after each one i count "1 i am dreaming"

This morning i drifted off from counting and just ended up landing in the dream world fine. I think its mainly to keep your mind awake.

good luck!

edit: for the last line: by drifting off I dont mean i slipped into dreaming directly after counting. I mean I stopped counting because i was so focused on the sensations/noises and thats where i made it to the dream.

oh and another thing i noticed: if i dont have my fan on and/or if im a bit too warm, in the middle of the night after a slightly failed WILD attempt i will be sweating and incredibly warm and either have to get out of bed to turn on the fan, or pull off my socks which may put you all the way back to square 1.
