Thread: What am i doing wrong? Please help

Hi there Mikeyy and welcome to DreamViews!

I find that nights I either try too hard or try too many different things at the same time I not only lose full recall of any or all dreams but I have a tense, uncomfortable and fitful night's sleep.

Practice a few things at a time until they are almost second nature before adding more and always look to the eventual goal of having a LD as not having a set time frame. Some people are born naturals, some people just get it and others it is difficult for. I was natural as a child to the point I would get reality and a dream mixed up and now I find myself starting from scratch but it doesn't bother me. As Spock said it is like learning a new language (which I am doing, will be starting a third language soon) or stretching a muscle, don't try and take on too much at once and take breaks every now and then but always remain optimistic that you will get there. Trust me, even if it takes you a year it will be worth the effort, time and practice.

P.S. My experience with alarms is that if I here one I bolt into action, I use them to wake up before work and I always hear them. Alarms can have you conditioned for the 'fight or flight' reaction we use in every day survival. Any alarm also will require you to move to reset it and if it is on your phone the light from the screen could be enough to dazzle you and leave any dream memory fragments that could have helped you recall the whole disappear. Although I do know many people use them with great success, this is my experience.
