      trying to hard?

      Is it possible to try to hard, and have negative results? I have been doing a lot of RC's keep dream journals reading Exploring the Work of Lucid Dreaming, and other stuff. Could turning down what I am doing help me?

      Lol we all try way too hard in the beginning! I think it's a necessary step.

      There is no such thing as trying to hard, no offence. Maybe you're not going about it the right way? PM me if you want any information, or read some tutorial on DV. GL.

      There is definitely such a thing. Stress in other aspects of one's life can have a negative impact on their LD count, as well as working to prevent them from achieving their first LD if that's the case. If you get frustrated, it creates a mental block. The key is to NOT make lucid dreaming something you "have" to do; you just have to enjoy the journey towards your next lucid, however long it may be. :3

      To the OP, how do you go about your RCs? It's important to be very mindful when doing them; it's not the RCs themselves that cause the lucidity, but the mindset and awareness you create in your mind while you do them. You could even become lucid without doing checks at all, but they're definitely needed to simply confirm whether you're awake or not.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.
