Too much stress?

[torin_93]

So I have been reading Lucid Dreaming in 30 days and on day 14 it told me to do some free dreaming and not to say anything (mantras) before you go to bed. So that when you sleep your mind will balance out again. So yesterday I kept the mantras to a minimum but still did occasional RCs that night I had an LD! So im wondering maybe im to obsessive with the RCs and Mantras? Maybe not thinking so hard on LDing helped me relax and actualy help me LD!? Thoughts?

Hm, I'm too impatient to try that out ^.^ That is weird though, I would think that the more you focus on lucidity the more chances you would have at becoming lucid

That wasnt all of it, I got out of bed after 5 hours or so of sleep then had the LD!

Sometimes when I am really focused on having a lucid and then I completely stop and not care about it, I have a lucid.

my two brothers are home for half term (one of whom is autistic) = stress. so im putting LD ing on hold for the next week. because if i try i will fail and get anoyed. my dream recal has gone from remembering 2-3 dreams a night, to none, none at all. before waking up in the moring would cheer me up, because i remembered my dreams.
