This is for those of you who've only had less than a handful of LDs (or none at all) despite trying diligently. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

Yes, but.... I've tried so hard I've had only 2 lucid for the past 10 months. If my subconscious was a real life person he probably couldve been killed by me now. I am doing my best but it's like theres something wrong..but now right at this moment I may just have realized what it is. ZOMG. |

Lucid dreams detected: 2 \\ 1 MILD & 1 DILD
Spoiler for Spoiler to + infinity:
I think that's what my problem is now, trying too hard and trying to force myself to have one. I'm afraid that if I don't try hard though, I won't have lucid dreams or I won't remember my dreams at all. |
|
Trying too hard makes you fail, that's true for sure. However, you can't have LD's without working at all either. I guess the trick is to find a balance between the two. |
|
I'm a natural, but I was losing my ability and it wasn't before I started practicing that I regained it, and improved it so much more. It is kind of like you say, that I am confident that I will get lucid at certain times. I have so much faith in my ability to lucid on friday/saturday night, that I don't have to give much thought to do it. |

I've been Lucid dreaming for almost two years now. I have gotten better at it, but I still have trouble. The past week hasn't been very good, especially compared to the week before. I think I'll take a break for a day or two. |

The worst that can happen with not trying is not getting what you want, which is also the worst case scenerio in trying. |

Just try to be aware and conscious generally, lucid dreaming is just being conscious in the dream |

I have tried lucid dreaming, off and on, for many years. I've had a few, but they're usually short lived. I've had a few awesome ones though, powerful enough to keep me interested. My biggest issue is that I focus so intently - that I often lay awake in bed all night and can never go to sleep. I would say that's trying too hard! Other times I become lucid and feel totally in control, then it just slips away without warning, just another short-lived lucid dream. I know, it can be very frustrating. I've always had extremely vivid dreams and have always been able to recall the vivid ones. I've always loved to sleep, loved to dream, you'd think I'd be a natural. But I'm not. And I think I know why: |

Whenever I think I'm trying to hard, I always take a break. |

Its like what he said . what clairvoyance just said.. it made me think.. |

I have been this way for the past week but the last 2 days I've had lucids. |

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To lucid dream is my real test
To control them is my cause
I've been looking into LDing for a while now but I've still yet to have one. Thanks for the post, LucidDreamGod, I'll try that tonight. Here's hoping it works. |
|
Yeah it is basically a perfected WBTB. |

So you're basically suggesting to fully wake yourself up before going back to bed, right? |

Well try to find an equilibrium between how much you are waking yourself up and being able to make yourself go to sleep. I used to call this idea of mine mind melting because it made me feel disoriented. Where I'd just think of the most random thing, the first thing to come to mind and then the next thing that came to my mind. after awhile the thoughts would just come on their own and I would watch them as they made me go to sleep. Don't mistake it for a WILD but it is possible you will be so aware that you will feel yourself go through sp. Actually I think it is the essence of what a good WILD should include. You doing something to make yourself fall asleep fast and not focusing on staying conscious, yet your so aware that you won't lose all conscious anyway. Do not mistake consciousness with falling asleep. To fall asleep means your physical brain and body begin the REM cycle or any other sleep cycle. |

So...try to find the point where you're as awake as you can be without going past the point of not being tired enough to sleep? And at this point, try to sleep again? |
|
Yeah, good luck, I can be confusing sometimes sorry |

I have had multiple lucid dreams every normal week (boot camp didn't count) for fifteen years. When I attempt to have them I have a 80-90% success rate. I have had lucid dreams that lasted for 6-9 hours. I developed the ability naturally, with no advice. I didn't know anyone else had the ability. |

---o--- my DCs say I'm dreamy.
Thank you very much. WILDing should be that much easier now that I know how long to stay up for. I've been experimenting with the time and I've stayed up for like, half a minute and dropped off straight away (non lucid) and stayed up for so long that I couldn't get back to sleep. One step closer to LDing now. Thanks again. |
