Thread: Still No Lucid Dreams

I like the way you think. I haven't had a lucid in a couple of months, but I've still done cool things and gone to great places. Being aware of it is just the icing. Getting frustrated about it seems to hinder me even more so I just think like there's always the next morning to try.

Wow. You are really inspiring. I have recently been pissed off as I can't find a tech that works for me. You are right. I'll let things be for a while because I do have random LDs anyway (like three times a year). Thanks man.

Way to be, Nyx Thanks for posting this!

Yeah, that's very inspiring. I do have lucid dreams now and then, however, they just don't last long. But that's OK, even though they don't last long now, doesn't mean they won't last long later. Same for having lucid dreamings. Having no lucid dreams now doesn't mean it will always have to be this way. And yeah, normal dreams are really cool too. I remember that someone quoted an author of a lucid dreaming book where the author said that you should value normal dreams as much as lucid dreams in order to become lucid dreams.

Personally, I'm not sure whether it's that bad to become frustrated. Acknowledge your feelings. Being frustrated for a few days of not having any lucid dreams, might reach your subconscious. After a few days, let your frustrations go. I think you'll have a pretty big chance of having a lucid dream in that period. Emotions are very powerful.

I think it's really stupid being frustrated of something that should give you fun and pleasure! So yea people, work on your dream recall, that's all really matters!

Well, I think even bad moments might help you. That is, if you stop having them after a short while. Just acknowledge your feelings. And yes, dream recall is very important. Three months ago I started my first real dream journal. At that time I could only remember 1 - 2 (sometimes none) dreams a day. Now, after three months, I can remember 5 - 7 dreams a night. I usually have one lucid dream a week (sometimes more, depends (not sure on what... )).

And you're right Nerte, it's stupid being frustrated about something that should be fun. However, I don't think it's bad to feel frustrated once in a while, as long as you don't give up on lucid dreaming and dream recall. Just acknowledge that your feelings (frustrations) are there, and let them go. At least, that's what I think that helps. That's only when you've got nothing to lose, I guess. Just have fun in dreaming. Because, it is!
