Can't order drugs, and I don't want to have to rely on a substance to have lucids. I want to be able to just have them, through training or practice, but right now just feel like the practice I'm doing is wrong or not going anywhere. |

What I had was barely even one. I count it as 1 on here to give me a morale boost. I'm pretty much on track to match you in a few years. |

It is a good thing to get back into it. Hell, I even feel a little better knowing that other people I know don't know about this stuff...know. |

But your not relying on them. I was just saying they can help you get out of a dry spell and then once you get a couple lucids it usually easier to get some naturally. The pills are just lucid aids. You can take them for as long as you'd like. Plus, they're great for your memory because its used to help people with Alzheimer disease. |

Have you tried sleeping on a concrete floor? I slelpt on a concrete floor for 2 months (out of necessity) and had the craziest lucids from waking up like 8 times during the night. Like every night was lucid. Maybe a bed of needles or something for you, though, since it's so hard for you. |

@NrElAx But you would still need them to have a good enough memory to have lucids. Like taking medicine- if you stop taking it, the ill effects return? |

3 weeks ago, 2.5/10 vividness. I was in my room and I suddenly went "This is a dream". I did three reality checks, which failed of course. I then just lost it after a second. Dream faded for no reason, I woke up and was underwhelmed. |

Dang, that sure is a little lucid dream. I kinda see your frustration. For a several months i was unable to go fully lucid, until i was sleeping on that concrete floor. After having that many lucids for that long period of time, i'm completely able to tell dream from reality and i have lucids almost every night now. I don't know if it's the same as if you had an alarm set to go off at certain times during the night, because i've done that before and it didn't work for me. |

Origami...let me put this in perspective for you. Let's pretend that your not trying to lucid dream for a moment, but your trying to learn to ride a bike. Now, you have a really strong desire to ride a bike, so you jump right on it. What happens? You fall down. You get really angry, because you see all these other kids riding their bikes, and you really want to ride yours. You think its the coolest thing in the world. You keep trying and trying, and then you tell yourself- I have to ride this bike. You get really frustrated when you cant. Then you say- This is SO HARD, how can these other kids do it SO EASILY. You cry to yourself a little, all you wanted was to ride a bike, and you couldn't, whats wrong with you?....nothing is. Then a thought sparks in your head...you start researching on how to ride a bike. You learn all of these techniques, starting off from a curb(SOFC), jumping off from a building onto the bike(JOFBOB), riding a bike in pool(RBIP). You read several variations on these...and you forget what your doing in the first place- learning to ride a bike, and your focusing just on doing the techniques. Do you think Stephen Laberge uses the technique he told people to LD? Do you think Carlos Casteneda did at the time of him writing the book, talking about finding your hands...no, it is the entry-to get you into it, so that you develop your own technique. How do you start riding a bike? Do you get on it, put the foot on, then pedal, or do you put your foot on, then jump and ride at the same time? Or some other variation? And once you get really good, can you ride with one leg, one hand, no hands? How long did it take you to learn to do this? AT first? Then later? |

All of experience is fun for me, whether in a dream, or in reality, because I love existing, learning, and continuously evolving and sustaining. Then again, who knows, I may not enjoy existing so much if I caught a face full of buckshot from an angry farmer. But hey, at least I'd got out with a bang.
Well for me, I still got lucids after I stopped taking it. It just helped my confidence and confidence is what helps people get lucids a lot of times. It just helped me get the feel of the dream world and that helped me differentiate the difference between the real world and the dream world. |

That's seems like a good sign if your getting half asleep half awake dreams. It could mean your getting closer. When you say half asleep, are you seeing things or just hearing stuff. Or both? |

this is one way to look at it, damn if you put it this way i still have the training wheels on. |

Well right now I'm starting school again for my final year before college, so I'm as stressed as much as you think that would entail. For me, I don't think it's that much. I'm mostly negative because I have had this bike for a while now, and have barely made it move 2 feet with me on it. It makes me doubt that this bike will even go, and I'm starting to think if I want this bike or not. Is it worth the effort? |
