      College and LDs: Mutually Exclusive?

      I don't know what the deal is, but I've heard a few offhand remarks from people talking about how their amazing LD success screeched to a halt when they entered into College Life. Since I have no LD success to begin with and since I'm moving into a dorm in a month, am I pretty much downright buggered? What causes your LD frustrations in college - is it the workload, the booze or drugs, your roommate, the other occupants, or just the change of setting?

      I'm coming in with 26 credit hours from AP so I'm probably taking a 13-hour schedule at least to begin with so workload shouldn't be a problem, I'm essentially straightedge but without the bad music taste that usually entails so booze (at least in my system) shouldn't be an issue, my roommate is a mild-mannered music major, and my dorm only has three floors and ~200 occupants so it doesn't seem like other people would interfere with my nocturnal habits too poorly.

      Is there some quintessential college factor I'm forgetting that's bound to damn my efforts to hell? If any of you have made the transition (and it seems like half the population here is 17 and another fourth is even younger so maybe that's not many of you after all) I'd love to hear your experiences.

      UGA, if any y'all interested.

      Hmm. I'd like to know what people's responses are to this too since I'm going to be moving into my dorm soon also.

      College is when I really started dreaming and gaining control. That's when I had several lucid dreams. Aquanina might be able to give you some advice about mid day lucid naps. She is infamous for those.


      About college though, I would take more classes earlier in your college career. I had to take four semesters in a row of 17 credits because I took like 16, then 15, then 14, then 13 the next semester. The courses do get harder, so it's better to have more easier classes followed by less harder classes than the other way around. That way you also have more free time during the day and might be able to work an internship during the last couple semesters of college.

      What may (and probably is) be the problem is the lack of sleep and the stress. I can't think of anything else. New people should give you more vivid and easy to recall dreams.

      when I first got into college, I did lose a lot of my lucid dreaming and dream control. I even had several dreams where my precious dream sign was destroyed before I could use it.

      this was because I was stressed out and still getting used to the flow of college. but after I adjusted to college life the dreaming went back to normal

      I didn't start LDing until I was in college. I can assure you that college and LD's are not mutually exclusive. However, I have to agree with Marvo that lack of sleep and stress will be your biggest roadblocks to lucidity.
