I don't have an answer for you, but I have yet to have even one lucid dream. I've never had a lucid dream in my life that I can recall. Your once a week may be pathetic compared to other people, but that would be wonderful for me. |

I am wondering why some people have to struggle so hard to obtain lucid dreams. I am including myself in this. I estimate I've probably had somewhere in the range of 15-20 OBE-WILD type experiences, less than 10 DILD's including a few MILD's in about 5 years of trying. This is pathetic, none of the methods work well for me, only occasionally and most of my OBE's have come about after waking and just spontaniously happen as I am drifting off to sleep, I thought that was the answer after having two great experiences with WBTB-WILD's without even trying, the next night, confident I had it down, I fell asleep, and did every time after that untill I started trying supplements. Those work occasionally, but not well enough, I'm still about 1 a week, and it is usually a short lucid. Also the suppossed miricle lucid supplements don't work at all for me, Galantamine does not work for me, (it did twice), nor does GPC choline, B6 works the best, but I am getting tired of being dependant upon supplements, that still do not give the results I want. |

DILDs: 1
ESTP - Extraverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving
I sort of share your problem. |

The Ancient Entity - Now Roaming The Borders of The Watcher's Domain.
maybe it has something to do with the fact that a lot of people can't find the technique that's right for them right away, and they give up and move on too quickly when if they only practiced that technique more often they would have gotten the hang of it. |

Man was not meant to dream Lucidly. |

Some are born to sweet deleight
Some are born to endless night
Hi, I know how you feel. I read about lucid dreams about 7 years ago, kept a dream journal and did reality checks (though probably not as often as I should have) I never had a single LD until about 3 years ago, which was a rubbish one I can barely remember. I didn't start having them regularly until about 2 years ago. Then a few months ago I had a massive increase and for about a month I had one every other night! |

Lucid dreams can be a tricky thing to grab ahold of, sometimes it feels like everything you do you just cannot get it, but sometimes it's like it's there, and you can just have them, my belief is you really have to astablish a connection and relationship with your subconscious, instead of battling it you have to learn to work with it to acheive your goals, thats what a good friend of mine told me who mastered lucid dreaming and I believe the same, some people have a very hard time with this though, they don't really understand these concepts, you have to be a deep thinker or reather right brained to figure it all out I'm afraid sometimes. (by right brained I mean better at working with abstract concepts) |

Perhaps I have been struggling to much, and that might be the problem. Oh, and though I have lately been having about 1 lucid dream a week, they typically only last a few minutes at most and often only seconds, if they would last long enough to allow me to do anything then I would probably be more satisified. |

LD-ing once a week isn't bad... I can dream recall about every other day, but i only get like one LD every 1 or 2 months. |

Dream Stats since joining:
DILDs: 3
DEILDs: 1
WILDs: 0
Getting down on yourself and insulting your inability to lucid dream hurts your ability to lucid dream, imo. Do you DILD only? Seems like it's not your thing. Have you tried WILD? |

That's really weird, I had the same thing this one time on a houseboat when it was extremely hot. I had like 6 consecutive LDs on both nights out there. I'm talkin 90+ or 100+ degrees in a houseboat with no air conditioning... So yah, maybe this heat induced lucid really works. |

Recorded LDs since 2008: A Shitload
There is one thing that I wish to point out, and which has been very important to me. Lucid dreaming is NEVER about techniques... It is about INTENT. INTENT to dream Lucid Dreams someday. If you are intenting to have them(and I do not mean that you should be repeatin' "Tonight I will check out my hands and notice that I am dreaming") just by thinking that LD's are important to you, you will master them... I got no idea how long it takes, but you WILL master it... LD is only about dedication... Just have courage in your abilities to have Lucid Dreams, and believe that your subconsious can help you in the task to gain LD's. |

I've had more WILD OBE experiences than DILD's. All of my WILD attempts (which work) end up as an OBE. This has been happening about once every week or two. |
