in the 5 months i was really into lucid dreaming i had a grand total OF: 3 lucid dreams.... Woooo... all were spontaneous. i recently got back into LD'ing but.. the problem is...
1. my dream recall is erratic now and using autosuggestion isnt working as well as it used too...
2. DILD's dont work for me. even when my dream recall WAS good (remember 2-7 dreams per night) i could never find a dream sign connecting any of them. and reality checks...ahhh... those never worked either. the time RC failed because i rarely ever see clocks in my dreams, the hand RC failed the first time i used it in a dream, the nose pinch RC...in my dream i failed to realize that the fact i could breathe meant i was dreaming.
3. the only method that has ever worked for me are WBTB's and now when i wake up im not coherent enough to realize what the alarm is for and why im being woken up. so i turn it off and fall back asleep... :/
should i just give up?
