Thread: How long before technique establishes itself?

Im disappointed that i have only had 3 DILDS in 3 weeks (or should I be?) How long would it take on average before this frequency increases? Or will it increase at all?

There's not much data on this: we have reports of pioneers on lucid dreaming reaching high frequency rates in the matter of months (Daniel Love makes reference to one of them in his book), and also some people around here who also display a very specific path and progression (ask around). But we know that habit formation is very relative, as some habits take a few weeks to automate, and others several months....regarding to lucid dreaming, the picture is even more abstract.

What to learn from this? Focus on keeping up the rhythm you've been maintaining throughout this time, and slowly increase the efficiency/efficacy of your techniques, as well as gradually increasing the use of your DJ (as knowing your dream signs is a quick and painless way to achieve more lucids). If you want even more solid results, start applying a weekly WILD routine, where you make use of your best opportunities to apply the method to achieve frequent lucids throughout the week.

PS: Just to give you a better notion of lucid dreaming frequency, I've seen articles of study in which the rate of lucid dreams per month of the participants was less than 10 per month. But regarding lucid dreaming, the randomness of lucidity still dictates that your rates might be higher/lower than other people due being influenced by factors that you cannot control. Work on the ones you can control
