Thread: Going to start learning how to LD again for the 3rd time I still lack motivation.

I already knew what lucid dreams were then so I got really excited and woke up for real :/ Anyway, I'm gonna follow MisakaMikoto's advice and write down all the things I want to do in an LD and read it over once in a while.

It may sound depressing but I think you won't get the needed amount of motivation until you actually experience an LD again, better hope for one soon.

Well you shouldn't give him bad idea about motivation
But i agree, achieving lucid dream boosts slightly motivation

You should still remember that Motivation is very personal and very unique part in each of us
Everyone's have their own ways to build up motivations and their reasons or causes of losing it

Well, no need to hope for one! I just had one! It wasn't great as the dream wasn't vivid and faded away fairly quickly after I got lucid, and I also drew a blank when I thought about what I wanted to do... But it still was awesome! And I actually forgot I even had one until a few minutes after waking up. Now I guess I should make a list of things I want to do, and read the stabilization tutorial again. At least I have motivation now

Well that is suprising! xD

Persistence also brings along its own rewards, so dont give up man, you'll get an LD soon. But hey for some more advice- look through these forums on DV and the more time you check them out, the more you'll learn and the more you occupy your brain with Lucid Dreaming related stuff which greatly increases your chances of an LD at night.
