im not that experienced at lucid dreaming myself, but im in one hell of a dryspell thats long for even me. ever since my brother found my dj and shared it with some friends, ive discontinued it except for writing the lucids on my phone. i have pretty good recall naturally and i really dont see any reoccuring dreamsigns, and before my dryspell had lucids without the journal. so im wondering if the journal is that importiant for DILD? if it is and stopping it has caused my dryspell i might start it back up again.
