I don't know what to do.... I can barely even remember my dreams while I am at school. When I was at home for spring break I had a LD which brought me back to these forums. I could remember dreams every single night when I was at home for break. Now that I'm back at school I can't do it.... There are too many distractions to WILD. Falling asleep is a hassle. Anyone else experience a problem like this? Have any solutions? :crying:
You could try going to bed earlier.
I know how you feel. I went through the same thing of having a hard time recalling anything and I blamed it on my school hours. I do fine now with dreaming.
How much sleep are you getting? Maybe you do just need more sleep. Or maybe you just need to relax more?
I know how you feel. That use to happen to me. Do you keep a DJ, and is it up to date? I ask because last month, I got very serious about updating daily, and before I knew it I was remembering dreams on school days. Going to bed earlier is also a great idea. :)
School and work have always done a number on both my recall and lucidity. It sucks big time. Every time midterms or finals roll around my recall tanks and what I do remember are nightmares about school.
For school I really don't recommend WILD except on the weekends or days off, because then you can sleep in if you need to. I highly recommend MILD if you have to go to school. All you need to do is go to bed a little earlier than usual and spend ten minutes or so on the MILD before you fall asleep.
Totally agree man D: On holidays I can usually recall 3-5 dreams at once every day and DEILD a good like 6 times if I can catch it. I've even gone to bed pretty early, making sure I atleast get 9 hours of sleep, but yet I still can't seem to manage. I think it's more stress than hours of sleep. MILD doesn't seem to work so hot with me, and usually when I WBTB I can't sleep again. I don't sleep long enough to DEILD, and DILDs don't happen so often. I don't know what to do :/
Same here dude, I've had shitty recall the past two days that I've had school. I'm going to try and make up for that tonight though.
When I was in school I had the same problems with recall and LDing. Then I started sleeping less at night, and taking long naps after school. My recall and LDs shot through the roof during these 3-4 hour after-school naps. And I'd wake up from my naps feeling much more refreshed than I would with a full 7-9 night's sleep.
i think its becasue of all the stress of school, when you wild its harder when you have stress most of the time.
I'm so glad that I got really interested in lucid dreaming pretty much straight after I graduated from school. Now I have had an abundance of long nights devoid of any stress. I hope this can last!
I guess the additional work, study hours, reading, and projects with deadline at school stresses you out. Ever thought about practicing relaxation techniques everyday? This might help you get a lucid dream even when you are at school. You cannot really have success with paranormal activities when you are stressed.
Agreed that relaxation will help.Quote:

What are you talking about Naiya, they ARE considered paranormaly, but proven not to be lol
Anyway, has you tried going to sleep earlier, and wake up a little earlier so you get time to journal/take notes/record the dream?
I rarely LD in school days, I don't have much time to do a WBTB. So I say to myself that I'm gonna LD at the weekends, and I do. But that doesn't mean that I can't have LDs at school days, because I know that DILDs comes eventually.
Hehe, point taken. :panic:Quote:

I'm with you on this. Also I have to get up at 6 a.m. so I'm so distracted by the day's actions that I don't have time to think about dreams when I wake up. But I'm graduating this week so I won't have to worry about this anymore.
I dunno, maybe you could study in school rather than sleep and waste my tax money if you're going to a public school. Just an idea since school was a place to learn and not practice dreaming.
