We should take a poll. How often do you, members of DV, lucid dream? Whether it's often, rarely, or never.
If your options vary in between the poll's values, then vote for the next lowest choice.

I respond "often." Several times per week, at least. I don't like to lucid dream every night. My regular dreams are too much fun to give up.
(EDIT: nevermind, I see the poll, now. I was too quick)
Thats pretty interesting. As someone who doesn't have the ability to lucid dream every night, I always thought it would be awesome to escape into a dream world nightly where I could have god-like powers. I guess doing that, though, gives up any fun you could have letting your dreams guide you where to go.Quote:

Normally, 6-11 times a week.
Dryspells, once a week.
Bad dryspells, like once a month or less. I've had a few of those and it sucks. >_<
My current trend is a few times per month. Some stressful situations are beginning to calm down, so I hope to be at a few times a week soon.
About every other day, often more.
The strangest thing is, the dream control seems to bleed over into my non-lucid dreams. It is not really a factor in deciding whether to dream or lucid dream. Even in my nightmares, I still always seem to have god-like powers. My subconscious mind has decided the rules no longer apply :PQuote:

When I'm just casually 'hoping to catch a lucid dream', I may have about 3 or so a month (that I can remember. Weed and alcohol have a big part to play in this. :P).
But when I'm actually focused on it, I tend to have them every other night, sometimes multiple times a night.
I chose the 1-6 per week option.
So for you, stress makes you LD less? Is it like that for everyone?Quote:

Once in 2 weeks! Was my first though, really hoping to make it regular, though i somewhat agree with having a decent amount of non-lucid dreams to balance
Agreed. In my opinion, I'm sure in many others as well, dreams come as a sign for whatever you're dealing with. They are there to help you look into the inner depths of yourself.Quote:

But I wouldn't say that I really have lucid dreamed for real I mean I get a lot of lucid dream but they only last for seconds or minutes.
But i'll work on that.
I have them about once a month.
I don't beleive in dry spells.
I don't see why you wouldn't or do you mean it never happened to you before?
Bad recall, only 5 lucid dreams total that I can remember, so probably a few times a year.
I didn't vote on the poll since my lucid rate is bound to change in the next days/weeks, but so far it looks like few times each month. Since my first breakthrough (real lucid with visual input but no control) I had one more lucid just 2 days after (though without control and any input, woke up a few seconds later) and a few awareness related phenomenons like this: Odd state between awake and dreaming
I assume if I keep staying on the good way I'm currently, I might be able to achieve few times per week within the next month.
I have lucids every night. :D Usually something between 1-3 a night, it really depends on how motivated or lazy I'm feeling because I mainly use MILD to do it.
I have them at least once a week now that I am back to the training, but I spent a lot of time without having a single one.
:pissed: Me and all the other Dreamviews members are jealous.Quote:

Once every 1-3 months I'll usually have a nice memorable LD where I exercised some sort of control over the dream.
What kind of dream is Counted as a Lucid dream? I'm not too sure... Can someone describe in a bit of detail?
