Thread: cycle of results

I wanted to write about this a long time ago. I actually might have done so, my memory is so bad, forgive me if I have, but anyway!

I'm the kind of person that kind of goes head first into everything and then loses interest. Even with Lucid Dreaming, I dove head first! I bought books, read many posts, and posted my own. After a while, however, I kinda lost interest (I know..: "how can you lose interest in lucid dreaming?"). But in my experience I've found some pretty interesting things..

What I noticed was that all that effort, all the focus and concentration I put towards lucid dreaming burns a hole in the mind! For weeks I would strive for a lucid dream, with no results. However, It seemed that the week that I gave up was the week that I would experience a lucid dream!

What I am suggesting here is not a cycle of results, but a cycle of effort! The idea is to dive into dreaming! for at least a week! Make it all you care about. Do RCs as often as you can, read any literature you can.. Then, after a week, forget about it! Relax, just enjoy your life.. After a week of relaxing, when you are going to bed, just suggest a lucid dream to yourself...

I am usually very busy and this technique has produced amazing results for me. I have been having long, vivid, controlled lucid dreams about every 3 weeks. I would love to know if this helps anyone else. Please respond with questions, compliments, or complaints.
Thank-you!
