don't be frustrated, give LDing a rest for a week or so |

This is by far not the only thread on limited LD success but I feel like I've been investing so much effort into lucid dreaming, writing countless journal entries, reality checking throughout the day, practicing awareness and all but the lucid dreams don't come any easier at all! |

Be AWARE of your surroundings!
Lucid dream goals: Become a consistent lucid dreamer [], Jump off a building [], Visit mars [], Speak with my subconscious [], Create a work of art [], Meet my dream guide [], Materialize people and talk to them [], Relax on a beach under the stars []

flowers shall grow
and I am in them
and that is eternity.

It's definitely not something to get frustrated about, because it just makes it harder to LD.. I would stop trying to WILD for a while, and just keep writing journal entries. if you find you are spending too much time writing in your DJ, focus more on the points that were memorable to save time. |

How brief we talkin here? Immediate dream fadeing upon lucidity? |

Achievements: 1. Have explained the concept of lucid dreaming to many dream characters. 2. Have seen a television screen display DILD in big flashing letters -- and responded only with a raised eyebrow.
my stubbornness knows no bounds
I have been through some pretty inspiration-crushing dry spells and one thing that may get you out of it is to get more sleep consistently. I know every one thinks they cant, but you can find 2 extra hours every night for one or two weeks and you may be surprised at how quickly you see improvement. It worked for me! |

Only had 7 and you have been on here for 3 months? |
|
I've been practicing lucid dreaming since 2010, i've only had only ONE lucid dream. It was a pretty boring one at that. |
|
...except really wanting something is a damn difficult way of getting something, especially lucid dreaming. I should know this, 3 months and no success, I was just about ready to give up. But everyone on here said to keep going, 3 months is nothing, so I keep at it. |

You are having good progress. 7 lucid dreams is more than most people have in there life let alone a few months. Be happy for what you can do and don't worry about what others can do better. Let other peoples strides motivate you but do not worry. You can never go wrong with being grateful for what you can do. Don't view it as aww i only had this many view it as "Woot I had some more lucid dreams." It takes awhile to start having a few lucids a week. Some people it takes weeks, others months and some years. most fall between months and years. During WILDs don't worry to much about it you will either have a LD or you will not. Just relax and focus on something simple like thinking Lucid Dreaming repeatedly. |

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.
It took me 18 months to have my first proper lucid dream. Trust me, I'd have welcomed 7 lucids in 3 months; I'd have been the happiest guy in the world. You're doing really really well. Don't stress |

"No... my avatar isn't changing. You're changing."
WBTB, MILD and WILD are the most favorite methods so far I have noticed amoung people here. That, coupled with regular Reality checks and ADA. Once you can get all these (one method, or all, your choice), then you shouldn't have much of a problem. |

Wow man.. You're actually quite lucky. Ive been at it about 2-3 months, and I've only had 2 Lucids!!!! Seriously. |

@ Nightspy Not anything serious, but you said you only had 2 lucids, but your info LD count says 4... why? |

Okay.. I get it, kinda insulting though. It's simple maths, anyone can get it. |

Sorry, no offense intended. |

No problem. I made a similar mistake before once- did not go down well with that person.... |
