Personally I keep my motivation up by thinking like this;As everyone does I make lots of RC's,keep dream journaling and also meditation so I am doing all this to achieve lucidity right? |

So im going to try my best to get back into LD and I need advice on how I can stick at it and keep motivation, I stopped the last time and the time before that because of motivational issues, I have never gotten to the point of becoming fully conscious and I think once I reach that I will be hooked. I have my goals, I know what I want to do but its keeping the motivation to stick at it, any advice? |

Having goals that I am excited about helps for me. |

same position here. ive taken 2 rather lengthy breaks and am trying to get back in. this may sound kinda dumb but watch inception again, sometimes it gives inspiration. I've been trying more lately again, reviving the practice. staying active on the forum also helps. the community here is one of the most supportive I have ever seen, and dealt with. shout out to my fellow forum users, you guys and gals are awesome! |

New goals TBA

Just keep trying to the point you are fully conscious... because yea once you get to that point you will be hooked. I really don't think there is any more to it than just being aware before sleep, repeating a mantra, and visualize lucid dreaming in your mind (when I say visualize I mean believing that when you dream you will be aware enough to become lucid). If you can't do that... then you are just too lazy to lucid dream haha. It still might just randomly happen, but I'll tell ya a little goes a long way at least in my experience. |

I have a lot of dry spell of lucid dreaming, and it's very hard to get a lucid dream(I always thought that once you get your first LD, the others will come naturally, but it was not the case). But what motivate me are: sharing my dreams here on my DJ, my goals, reading subject about LD etc... |

+ Make a promise to yourself that you will not quit. Allow yourself like one day a year (Sensei does this) where you can quit LDing if you want to, otherwise, you MUST continue with practice. Many people get those moments of "what am I doing, spending all this effort on?", but it's all worthwhile when you get awesome dreams and can recall dreams every night. |
