Stef, I'm right there with you.

When i wake up from a good LD, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is right with the world!
But, if I've tried to LD and failed (especially if I've failed three or more tries in a row), I feel kinda "depressed" for lack of a better word.

But as they say "the sun will come out tomorrow" and so will lucidity!

the whole worker behind lding is your subconscious mind, its what contorls everthing, to ld u have to program your mind for ONLY THE POISITIVE or else you subconsciuos will act on the negative thoughts that you cant do it....... my advice it to stay positive, set your alarm clock for a certain time, and keep doing your best much luv

Frame of mind makes an incredible difference in how easy it is to get lucid. For me, it can even have a severe effect on my dream recall. About a month ago, I was getting lucid with increasing frequency, and I could remember 3 or 4 dreams per night, more than I ever had time to write down. With the end of my senior year of highshool approaching, I've had so much work lately that I've been a little stressed, and between that and friends, I haven't had much "me time." The result has been a month-long dry spell, with no lucids and pretty bad recall. It's also kept me away from this site, which hasn't helped. However, with strong enough willpower, almost any mental barrier can be overcome. Keep believing that you can dream well, and that things really aren't all that bad, it can make a huge difference. And maybe just take a day off once in a while, just chill out and do whatever makes you feel good, and leaves you happy when you're headed off to dreamland.
