Hello!
I'm new to Lucid Dreaming and have a question that's been bothering me for some time now. I'm Bilingual (fully fluent in both English and Turkish). I'm curious if one language would be stronger than the other.
I speak Turkish daily but do all my research and readings in English (my thinking is 50/50 I guess)
Would techniques like M.I.L.D. be affected by this?
Many thanks!
Sincerely
Yo! I'm new here so let me know if I'm doing anything wrong... I'd like advice on lucid dreaming:
I tried when I first found out about it every day for about 3 weeks, it didn't work out so I stopped for two weeks and I've carried on since. 2 weeks later I think I had one lucid dream but I got too excited and woke up immediately after, I'm not sure if I was just imagining it though. My dream recall is pretty good and I remember a couple of dreams every night and even though I've tried MILD,WILD and WBTB methods, I just can't seem to lucid dream! I often forget but usually get at least a couple RC's daily.....anybody got any advice other than to just keep going at it?
@TheRealDJZ- I'm right there with you-- I've managed one lucid dream in a couple of weeks and it's discouraging that it's not automatically happening all the time! My subconscious seems to be BEGGING me to become lucid though-- last night I dreamed I was looking through my Instagram feed and the pictures I was seeing were settings where previous dreams had taken place and I was thinking "Wow, I've seen these places in my dreams!" (HELLOOOOOO lucidity cue!!! Wanted to smack myself for not picking up on that one!) There are loads of great articles on this site about becoming lucid. Click through there and see what's interesting. There are lots of great tips and methods. You probably need to do more reality checks (you said you get "at least a couple.") From what I've read on here, they need to be happening around 10 times a day. Here's hoping we both see more dreams soon!
Is it normal when you are on the road to lucid dreaming to feel like everything is pressing on you when you try to change the secene. I was able to change the secene in a dream I had last night and it slipped away. I was only able to change some elements. Not others. And well perhaps I have broken one barrier. One must make sure their energies are stable. A key I think is the confidence to be calm with the dream around you. You feel the dream, you know that you are dreaming and be calm. Is this the truth?

I don't think it would effect it too much. I'm kinda bilingual myself (fluent in both English and ASL), and have had dreams in both languages. If your thinking is 50/50, with regular use of both languages, then you should be able to use either language (or even a combination of them) with the MILD technique, and get positive results.
I would be interested to hear how experimenting with this goes for you. Cheers! 8-)
Hiyah, i'm new to this whole lucid dreaming thing however i have experienced sleep paralysis before a couple of times. The sleep paralysis does come with scary hallucinations but i am now aware of it just being in the mind. I get sleep paralysis 100% of the times when i am sleeping on my back so i thought it would be easiest to lucid dream after receiving the paralysis. I haven't got the lucid dreaming as of yet because i am currently struggling to get into the phase. I lay on my back for 10-20 minutes and become completely relaxed. I feel my body falling asleep and yet i am still able to think. However when i get to the REM stage my eyes start to move uncontrollably and extremely fast. This causes my heart rate to rise and then i struggle to keep my eyes closed. It then causes me to open my eyes which then i lose all progress. How would i ease the movement of my eyes, keep my eyes shut and keep my heart rate low. And also what should i do when i start to feel it kicking in (i'm not sure what is kicking in, whether it be lucid dreaming or sleep paralysis)
Many Thanks
Hello! I'm 25 and new here . I would like to know how can I get LD in a short time ? Are galantamine and choline good for this purpose ? How can I sue them ? I'm very keen about LD but impatient..
Ok so here's what happened. I was having a dream then it went all black. I was like "hey, I'm dreaming." Then I started spinning around. Then I woke up. :/ What happened and did I have a 5 second lucid dream?
Hey,
So, I've been trying to LD for a while now, & I haven't had an actual LD in a few months...every time I DO LD, though, I can't seem to remember to increase my clarity or anything like that. :roll: I don't remember to do anything. What should I do now?
Hello friends, i am new here.. I want to get knowledge about dream analysis. Just going to browse forum.

I did experience that. Try to be more focused and aware while you do reality checks and mix 3 of them together. I usually count my fingers, jump to see if I can float and try to remeber what I did before. Focus while you do them and try to be more present in the moment. Hope it helps.
Nico wrote: At first I'm 13 years old. I've found that lucid dreaming is very interesting. I only like WILD method for LD. But I have some problems. At first, I don't like waking up at 5 am because my alarm clock sounds a lot and sometimes it wakes my parents or sometimes I don't remember I have to wake up at this time to induce an LD and I sleep normally. It's also scary for me having a WILD at 5 am because of the sleep paralysis, so I normally try WILDs while taking a nap. My dad also finds this very interesting and he sometimes sleep in my room so I don't freak out. Ok, normally when I try WILD I watch the LD subliminal video (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/videos/lucid-dreaming-subliminal-video.html) , then I go to my bedroom, turn on my ipod to listen to binaural beats for LDs and try to relax. The neariest experience I had to LD (I think so) is that after seeing those figures (hypnagogic) I started to see flashes, but as I was taking a nap and binaural beats stopped, I stopped focusing because of the noise that my brother was making and I "woke up". Was Iclose to LD? The last thing is that I also try WILD at 10pm. Could that work?
PD: Sorry for my English, and I tried to explain as far as I could
(My copied post)
It’s easier at the beginning with DILD. Do 10-15 reality checks a day and be mindful. Those daily habits will soon show also in your dream state. And read books about lucid dreaming. Start with La Berge. Have fun!
i tried for my first time last night using the wake to bed method and everything seemed like it was goin well. i got myself into sleep paralysis and was fully aware of it and of my intentions but i couldn't cross the gap from random hallucinations to an actual dream. i felt like i was getting close but i started hearing my dad who's been in the hospital for awhile from the hallway so i jolted out of bed and ended up just going back to sleep afterwards. basically what i'm asking is how do i get from the sleep paralysis stage to an actual lucid dream. thanks for any tips.
Hey there. I don't think this would classify as a lucid dream, that's why I didn't want to start a thread about it. It just seemed this is the best place to ask. I experienced something weird this morning. I woke up, but because I could tell it's quite early, I tried going back to sleep. Now, I've been dreaming tonight, and the dream was right before I woke up. So, when I failed to go back to sleep, I just started thinking about the dream. It started feeling like a proper dream again, though I could control bits of it, most of it was pretty autonomous. The thing is, while the 'dream' just picked up from where it finished when I woke up, I knew I didn't fall back asleep. I was fully aware of my surroundings and could move or open my eyes whenever I wanted to. So how did this 'dream' feel like a proper dream, even though I wasn't sleeping? Anyone could please comment on that? Also sorry for repeating the word 'dream' a lot lol
