Thread: Beginner's Luck?

That's kind of what happened to me. I heard about LDing, joined the site then about 3 days later I had a lucid dream. Then for about 3-4 weeks I not only didn't have any lucids but my dream recall was really crappy. I had a break, for a couple of months, came back and had a DILD lucid last night (my 4th day back). It's kind of like when you're looking for something, when you stop looking/thinking about it you find it! Now, I'm sure that this isn't true for everyone but for me it def. was

For me it's the opposite. I have had periods where I've had a lot of real life concerns and then I've stopped focusing on lucid dreams and then they've become rare. But in the periods where I really care about lucid dreams, like now, where I spend several hours each day reading about techniques and thinking about lucid dreams, I have at least one per night.

In my opinion it's about focus: When I spend all day thinking about lucid dreams, I get at least one each night. What's on my mind when I'm awake (lucid dreams) is on my mind while I'm sleeping (lucid dreams). All the negative thoughts in the world couldn't change that.
