Thread: WBTB Failure.

haha Im a little discouraged all around... I cant get anything to work again but Im still tryin

Don't be discouraged. I've had so many times when I almost gave up and then suddenly bam I'd have a LD. Eventually I made a rule with myself to never let myself feel discouraged again. I still miss dream signs, I still have failed WILDs but now I just laugh at and learn from them.

Just keep at it. Keep doing RCs, keep recalling and recording your dreams, and keep analysing yourself and trying different things. Try stimulating your brain with some logic puzzles during your WBTB. I find that really helps but the WBTB must be done after at least 5 hours sleep. I also find the CAT method very successful.

It will all be worth it when you have your next LD!

yeah I always make sure Ive had enough sleep before I try. Ill try the puzzles too thanks for the tip. My recall has went from at least 2-3 dreams a night to almost nothing, just bits of a dream the last few nights...

Make sure you wear a sleep mask. That makes a huge difference to dream recall.

Three WBTB attempts in one night are two too many. That will most likely mess with your sleep cycle, and dream recall. Cut it down to one.

Lucid dreaming takes practice. Keep it up, persevere. Continue trying for at least two weeks before you complain again.
