I read about lucid dreaming a while ago, and I thought that it would be very useful for my Gender Identity Disorder, but I never managed to do it.
Is there any lucid dreaming method that people here have successfully used?
I don't think "lucid dreams" exist. I tried quite a few times.

Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean nobody else can.

Wake Initiated Lucid Dream, or WILD for short.

I'll redirect you to that website, which is one of the larger LD communities. You can find all sorts of tutorials and guides to help you.
Yes, Lucid Dreaming is possible. Just because it doesn't work for you the first few times doesn't mean it won't work for you later. It takes some people weeks or months before they have their first successful lucid dream.
Practice and dedication.
Well you could try the WILD technique many people say it worked for them (some even on the first night). Here is a very helpful site: [url]http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/wake-induced-lucid-dreams.html[/url]
How is lucid dreaming with WILD like? Is it exactly the same as being awake, but with the ability to control everything? Do you remember it all when you wake up?
Shit in a sink

Yes, however at first you may have some trouble controlling your dream world. And yes you are very likely to remember everything (unless you have trouble recalling your dreams).
I used this site.

Controlling a dream =/= Lucid Dreaming
Lucid Dreaming is simply the act of becoming fully aware that you are dreaming, which then often leads to controlling your dreams. Some people choose to not control your dreams, which can be just as fun (if not more fun) as controlling your dreams.
WILD will transition you from the awake state, into sleep paralysis, and then into your dreaming state. You're mind will be awake during these transitions and allow you to slip right into a Lucid Dream.
I used to lucid dream using the DILD (dream induced lucid dreaming) method, which involves making it a habit to check your hands and things such as clocks to determine if you are dreaming.

Only problem I had is that I did not always wake feeling rested.
i think i had a lucid dream once before but wasn't aware of it weird
Does "lucid dreaming" feel just as if you are awake?

Sometimes. Sometimes it feels so real that you know you must be dreaming, if that makes sense.

DILD is basically what I rely on now :v:
I tend to be pretty aware of when I'm dreaming now, but I've been Lucid Dreaming for almost 4 years now.
Is there a way to guarantee a dream?
How do you get out of a dream?
