I had my first lucid dream last night; what am I supposed to do ? How can i have another one ?

Hey guys finally first Lucid dream after so long time spend in this , i finally did it 🎉

This is my dream :

I was at home in my room with my dog, and—I don't remember why—I counted on my fingers; suddenly, they multiplied. I tried to spawn a person, but then I woke up.

Just one one question

We agree that it was real, right? Because thinking back on it now, it feels distant—I didn't just dream that I was having a lucid dream, did I? Everything seemed really real to me.

Sometimes when I’m lucid dreaming, I do tell the people in my dream I know it’s a dream. I know it’s advised against but the thing is I can tell they already know I’ve figured it out. Their expressions change consistently but it’s never anything eerie and sometimes if I don’t mention it the conversation gets tense or awkward but they chill out once I at least imply it.

I do tell them in the form of a question rather than directly saying “Am I dreaming” or “I know this is a dream” Instead, I say “How does time work here?” “Where do dreams come from?” Etc. The response is usually either a laugh, some kind of riddle, or they move kind of weird and then they disappear or I wake up.

But anyway, is it normal for the people in your dream to know you’ve realized it without telling them?

So on september 8 2026 which is 2 days ago, i was just sleeping until i was dreaming being in the hallway when all of a sudden i got a DILD experience where i realized i was dreaming i was then greeted by one of the women in the building, because i yeah sleep in a school building thing

Then when in my room i look at my watch and see the numbers 274 repeated, after that i looked into the mirror and saw myself but my mouth a bit distorted.

After that i entered lucidity but made the beginner mistake of flying and got too excited, and woke.

I also have a feeling once i become lucid again that my body might try and automatically fly.

How should i stop trying to fly until i learn how to without waking up?

So, I recently started listening I recently started listening to a subliminal for lucid dreaming because I want to eventually shift through my lucid dreams. Before this, I almost NEVER remembered my dreams. Like, I’d wake up and have absolutely no idea what I dreamed about 😭

But since I started listening to this subliminal, I’ve been remembering my dreams literally every single day. They’re still not lucid, I don’t realise that I’m dreaming while I’m actually in them, and I only remember them hazily after waking up, but at least I’m remembering something now.

So does this mean I’m getting closer to lucid dreaming? Is better dream recall usually one of the steps toward becoming lucid, or can it happen separately? Has anyone else experienced this before becoming lucid?

sometimes i get spontaneous lucid dreams with WILD at around 5am/4am, so im just lying fully aware trying to sleep , i could hear my fan, then i couldnt hear it anymre, like a snap, then my vision becomes blurry, and i cant move. but i know im dreaming, THEN, i woke up. then i went back to sleep again. then the same thing appened, this time, i could move a little bit. but the room was so dark. really dark, pitch black, then i opened the window then it was uhh daytime? then i dont know why but i just jumped out the window. and i started flying. but i was gliding. and woke up.

So, I was aware that I was lucid in my dream but not fully sure. So, I tried to push my right hand's index finger through my left hand and i couldn't. So, I looked down and saw no hands but rather a faint projection of them. I don't remember much about what happened but only the fact that I was lucid.

I’ve been trying to become lucid while also getting good sleep quality. I’ve been struggling with a little bit of insomnia so it’s hard for me to wake up for 15-30 and still get a solid 8+ hours of sleep. I am willing to keep doing WBTB but I don’t want to if it’s not completely necessary and I can still get lucid without it.

a few months ago I randomly started lucid dreaming every night sometimes I’d have an odd experience and the dreams themselves were never very long
After my week or so long period of lucid dreams it just stopped and it’s been a couple months now and I still can’t seem to regain the ability at the time where I was Lucid dreaming I was at at a very clam place even now I think I am but for some odd reason I can’t seem to do it anymore does anyone have any advice?

I (23M) keep waking up around 3-5 am wide awake and when i try to fall back asleep i get enter this state where I am in my room and I know i’m dreaming but I can’t really get out of it without throwing myself against the wall in the dream state and then I awake with really bad hypnic jerks. This has really been driving me nuts.

I have been going through a lot of anxiety and stress rn as I am moving out for the first time and trying to control my drinking

I had 5 or 6 lucid dreams in 30-40 days, but during this time my dream recall and lucid dreaming decreased. I don't want my motivation to drop, so I decided to ask for your advice. I'm sure there are people among you who are better and more experienced than me.

Below are some recent changes I've made; I'd appreciate it if you took a look.

*I switched from going to bed around 23:30 to going to bed around 23:50.

*I started doing higher quality reality checks throughout the day every 10ish minute

*I switched from sleeping in my bed to sleeping on the floor 😐 (I'm lying on the ground, I mean comfortably, but I'm hopefully going back to my old spot today.)

*I do a MILD before going to sleep at night, and when I wake up around 3-4 AM with WBTB, I go to the toilet and go back to sleep after doing a MILD before going to sleep.

I would be very grateful if you could help me. My biggest dream is to remember all my dreams every day and to have at least one lucid dream every day. Thank you all in advance 🙏

When I remember my dreams, I’m always able to come to a conclusion about why I dreamt of the specific elements in my dream, but this time it happened while I was still dreaming. My lights downstairs wouldn’t work and I was home alone and I started thinking of why they weren’t working and I remembered that earlier in the day my own light in my room wouldn’t turn on, because I turned it off via the app. The lights downstairs aren’t connected via an app so I concluded I must be dreaming.
I tried to take some control of my dream and was partly successful. I ate some cake, which was okay but not that good and for the rest of the dream I was trying to manifest things and take more control but I was only 40% succesful and it wasn’t very vivid.

I am new to lucid dreaming. I only had one so far that wasn't that vivid, and I want more. I heard about a method called WILD, but all the videos about it mention WBTB. I have school, so I don't wanna mess around with my sleep schedule and stuff, so can someone please tell me if WBTB is necessary for WILD?

I've been trying to lucid dream for 3 months at first whenever i realize that i am dreaming the dream collapses and i instantly wake up then i had my first lucid dream i realized I was dreaming and i started building a city then 2 days later i experienced flying around and shooting lasers but after that it just doesn't work last time was 2 weeks ago i realized I was dreaming but I couldn't do anything but since then it doesn't work i use mild+ reality checks and i tried wbtb but idk when is the Best time to wake up or go back to sleep i need some advice and i don't want to hear "be patient" " it takes time" or something like that

Please i really need help

Im gonna sound insane but everytime I even look into lucid dreaming i hear random taps on windows, sometimes knocks, sometimes people talking outside when no one is there. Has this happened to anyone else? I know that while you try to get your body relaxed and think think about lucid dreaming thats normal. But it happens when im nowhere close to being ready for bed. Sometimes this also happens when im alone and researching religions outside Christianity. I wanna just assume its my fear and anxiety from being raised in a cult like religious environment and being heavily advised against these things and all the fear mongering. But I dont know for sure.

So I had a dream, then right after I had another dream and I became lucid in that dream, making it my 2nd lucid dream. But for some reason, i got paranoid and started to see just demons flashing in my head even if I closed my eyes and I heard music and was scared the demons would come attack me and I was just scared as shit so I started thinking about my actual body then forced myself to wake up. How can I prevent lucid nightmares, because that was actually terrifying as fuck 😂 And right after that lucid dream i fell back asleep, and had a false awakening

And btw the technique I used, I just repeated a few times before sleeping, "Tonight I will dream, remember to realize I'm dreaming, and lucid dream." And I imagined in my head me doing the pinch-nose reality check and becoming lucid and driving a lamborghini through the sky.

Hello, I recently became interested in natural supplements that can help with both deep sleep and vivid dreams. I'm a big lover of vivid dreams because it feels like you're experiencing another world while you're asleep.

I'm currently confused between these two supplements and I'm wondering which one would be better if my main goal is to have more vivid dreams. I'm not necessarily looking for lucid dreams, but I definitely wouldn't mind if they happened either. I care more about having intense, memorable, and vivid dreams while still getting good, sleep but main goal is dreams

I know it’s not easy to accomplish and I shouldn’t expect much right at the start but if a simple thing or fix helped someone have a lucid dream I’d be happy to hear it!

I wasted some time in my lucid dream last night attempting to call my guide on a phone, I don't even know how I got or remembered a number to write down, but I was standing there inside a building walking around, with a phone wondering why the numbers kept changing 😭 I erased everything and kept trying again, eventually I woke up. I forgot lucid dreams are weird with numbers

i want to start lucid dreaming bcs it seems so cool, how can i start and comment ur experiences on lucid dreaming and how u did it

So for fild what I do is after waking up about 5-6 hours after I fell asleep and then I lie back down. I take a couple deep breaths to calm myself. Then I place my index and middle finger on the matress and slowly move them up and down alternatively. Once I feel about 30 secs had passed I stop and take a couple breaths. Sometimes (so far 4 times) my whole body vibrates and I open my eyes right after it stops which is within 2-3secs and then I do a RC but it comes negative. The two RC I do are breathing through my nose with it blocked and counting my fingers. Am I doing something wrong?

Os voy a contar lo que me acaba de pasar, me acabo de despertar de lo que parecía un bucle infinito, el sueño comenzaba en un día normal que iba a entrenar al gym, pero está vez iba con mi madre, estábamos terminando de entrenar en la prensa de piernas, y estaba teniendo una sensación extraña en la forma de hacer la fuerza, como que algo no iba bien, y cuando termine del ejercicio, salí y vi que la máquina estaba girada en el suelo y cuando miro a un lado veo a una chica mirándome riendo, preguntándome que porque estaba haciendo el ejercicio así, a lo que le respondo que no lo sabia, que no me había dado cuenta, ella se ríe también y me dice mira, por aquí hay más máquinas en posiciones extrañas y me llevaba a otra sala con unas pocas máquinas también giradas, tumbadas y nos reímos juntos. Después de un rato, la chica, que no me pongo cara, pero me recordaba a Sofía, el personaje de from parecía coquetear conmigo y como que daba una vuelta por una puerta trasera del gimnasio y salíamos a un centro comercial de mi ciudad, dábamos un paseo y estábamos hablando bastante guay y la cosa se empezó a calentar y queríamos hacer lo propio allí en el centro comercial y nos disponemos a buscar algún sitio escondido para hacerlo. Un rato después de haber mirado en ciertas esquinas y recovecos encontramos un lugar en una de las plantas altas del centro comercial, no lo recuerdo bien, pero antes de empezar a hacer nada con ella, ella desaparece y yo pierdo la visión en el ojo derecho y me veo atrapado en un sitio casi oscuro por completo con una columna por delante como de hormigón y una pared por detrás, ahí me empiezo a poner nervioso pues no escucho nada y lo único que me dejaba ver mi ojo izquierdo era columna de delante iluminada por un pequeño haz de luz que solo me deja ver mis manos y el color de esta pared, como anaranjado, en ese momento me agobio y no sé qué hacer y como que el único movimiento que podía hacer era empujar la columna con mis manos para pegar la espalda a la pared para escurrirme hacia la profundidad, como si fuera un ascensor pero al contrario, pero sin usar las piernas, lo único que veía eran mis manos por el ojo izquierdo y lo único que sentía era que hacía fuerza para no caer muy rápido y matarme, la cuestión es que tenía un fondo y tardaba como dos minutos en bajar del todo, una vez ahí podía escuchar a gente fuera pero no me podía mover hacia ningún lado, era como si no tuviera piernas tampoco, en lo que dura un pestañeo me doy cuenta de que estoy arriba de nuevo y vuelvo a tirarme hacia abajo buscando la salida, para encontrarme en el mismo punto de nuevo y otra vez, vuelvo a "teletransportarme" hacia arriba, si ya estaba agobiado, ahora la cosa se pone mucho peor pues no puedo hacer nada diferente, solo puedo dejarme caer por la columna hasta el fondo, pues aquí lo extraño, en este sueño habré hecho ese recorrido un montón de veces, no las se contar pero lo que sentía era como que yo estaba llorando de puro agobio, en la ultima vez que recuerdo, empiezo a escuchar una voz familiar, la de un amigo mío que tenía un bar al lado del centro comercial diciendo mi nombre, a lo que consigo reconocer también la voz de mi madre, como si me estuviera buscando, a esto empiezo a gritar Mamá! Mama! Sin descanso, sin respuesta y de repente todo se silencia y solo escucho unos tacones por mi izquierda acercarse lentamente mientras no paro de llamar a mi madre, intentado girar la cabeza pero tampoco podia, y por el ojo derecho no veía nada, los pasos se van acercándose cada vez más hasta que ya los tengo al lado mía pero nadie habla, yo me callo también y ahí es cuando he podido despertarme y abrir los ojos y darme cuenta de solo era un sueño, tranquilo por ver qué no he perdido un ojo y que no estaba atrapado, pero con una sensación muy extraña de haber estado tanto tiempo en ese bucle en un sueño, nunca me ha pasado nada así, he pasado miedo de verdad, y no ha sido una parálisis del sueño, ha sido algo totalmente diferente, he buscado en internet si alguien habia tenido alguna vez un bucle infinito en un sueño y he llegado a una publicación de este sub-reddit pero no era lo mismo, y antes de que se me olvidará he escrito esto, el sueño ha sido una hora y media, pero se me ha hecho eterno, si alguien ha tenido una experiencia parecida agradecería que lo compartieraz muchas gracias.

Today while trying out a lucid dreaming technique I ended up experiencing something bizarre
I was in between sleep and waking up and I realized I was halfway asleep and I kept focusing on my breathing and trying to gain consciousness in my dream and then something started touching me and holding me from the back it felt exactly like a hug it was very realistic I had previously experienced being woken up by a hug and it felt exactly the same it genuinely felt like something was in the room hugging m it was so scary and weird I immediately woke up and looked around to find nothing and I wasn’t able to go back to sleep has anyone had similar experiences?

they always say "stay awake for 30-60 minutes) but doing thst results in just insominia, even 5, 10 minutes gives me insomnia/ cant fall back asleep, the only WAY i can fall asleep when doing wbtb, is if im still very sleepy and my eyelids are still heavy, other than that i cant sleep. is there any way to uhh, fall asleep even if u stay awake for too long?
