Thread: My mind is a wreck

For some reason there is nothing I am really good at, not even dreaming. I just don't have clue how to begin LD'ing. I've heard about stuff like WILD, but it sounds like a waste of time to me. It works, like 1/1000 times; and is boring. (Lying still for hours..how exciting)
Usually in the morning I wake up with racing thoughts (about ANYthing) and I forget to remember dreams or keep my journal up to date. I feel REALLY desperate right now because dreaming was the only thing I thought I could be good at...

To get to the point, keeping a journal or doing reality checks doesn't help me at all. I had 2 LD's in the past (unintentional) but that was just pure luck.
I heard some of you say that you can remember up to 12 dreams per night...I could NEVER do that.

ehr...help?

Maybe try and stay still and try not to think of any thing. Relax and let the dreams come to YOU.

Hi, I think U should take a break from LDing...because from Ur expression Ur mind is already tired and desperate. Meanwhile calm Urself down and just because U can't LD does not mean Ur not good even in dreaming...it's not an easy task..in fact it's the most difficult task of all tasks....because don't forget Ur doing it when Ur unconcious.... Stop doing the checks like as if U never knew of LDing..clear Ur mind of it and anything LDing related for a week or 2, that's what U need right now.

I would say that my mind is quite the wreck at the moment also. LDs have proven much more exciting than the real life. My mind is constantly racing as my friends have me on some twisted guilt trip. Any who try Idoser. It will give you something to focus on. Don't focus on LDing at all this way... Im sure you can get the lucid dream sound from Idoser off limewire or something.

I've just done a little experiment, but I don't know whether it was succesful. I tried to communicate with a real person who is also dreaming, through my dream. Since there is a 9 hour time zone difference I had to go to sleep at about 10AM-1PM. I managed to have a dream during this period, and this person was in it. But I don't know whether she was a part of my own mind, or a real person.
I'm gonna give negativity a rest and try to get some more results

Should have asked her...Was it lucid?

Sadly, no. Shame :-(
It was stupid, really. She went jogging together with her mother. I told her that I'd follow them on my bike, so they could start without me. But when I got my bike I noticed that I had a flat tire :-( and I couldn't find a pump. So I didn't really get the chance to talk to her.
