Thread: How can you keep having Lucid dreams after Experiencing First?

Hi.
So i had my first lucid dream yesterday.

I was hoping i get another one last night(today's early morning) but i din't. I did have recall though.

But i didn't have lucid even though i did exactly what i did the day i had the lucid dream.

How do you keep having lucid dreams. Do i just continue what i'm doing(RCS , mantras, meditation, visualizing)....
and it's just a matter of hit or miss? sometimes you just don't have any lucids. is that how it works?

or do masters of lucid dreaming just have them every time they want to? Cause i definetly want to become a master.

Just keep practising, doing RCs and try new techniques/focus in the one that better works for you. Somedays you practice all day to have a lucid, thinking about it all day long, etc and you don't succeed and other days you're busy with other things and you have an unexpected lucid.

I was so tired today that I took a nap, just to rest a little bit and bam! A very good lucid. Want to become a master? Continue practising, that's all. Good luck!

Time, patience, enjoy the dreams, even the non-lucid ones (as Sageous says, some dreams are just fine the way they are), be positive, keep up the daily practice. And *don't stress or create anxiety* about progress. Frequency comes with time. You're already waaaaaay ahead of the curve, you've had a lucid dream! Keep remembering that success! Many people go way way longer without any. You can now say fully with confidence, "I'm a lucid dreamer!"

As it was said above. Patience...
In my experience one of the most important factors is excitement. When I began with it I was really excited about it and I got for example LD every day for a week or so. Recently I had a lot of things to do so I was tired and didn't have much energy to concentrate on LD so I didn't even remember my dreams but now I started again and got one second day after I returned to it. So just keep trying and looking forward to it :-)

There are a huge variety of factors in play as to whether or not you'll be lucid. They range from when you go to sleep, how tired you were, how stressed you are - all the way down to perhaps what you ate that day.

You have to find the right circumstances to coincide to help you to remember to check whether or not you're dreaming. And continue to practice so that it becomes a lifestyle, engrained in the way you live life. Once you've done that, you'll be a master lucid dreamer.

Don't forget to enjoy non-lucids and the experience of getting to lucidity as much as the lucids themselves!
