Losing motivation

**trollmaster** · 04-21-2012 09:08 PM

I'm beginning to lose my motivation to write in my dream journal and do constant reality checks. Do any of you guys have any advice?

Not to much advice for that other than get more motivated to do it...just gotta push yourself.

You're not meant to do "constant reality checks", you're only meant to perform one when you see something out of the ordinary, plus when you wake up and go to bed. As for motivation, didn't you achieve your first lucid only recently? Isn't that validation enough that you can actually reap results from this? Be also aware that the first lucid is often the hardest, expect progress to speed up unless if you're doing something wrong.

Just out of curiousity, how long were you attempting lucid dreaming before you had your first one? I had my first after a month by fluke (I was WILDing without prior sleep) followed by 3 months of failure before suddenly rising to my current 6. Judging by your dream journal, you have a hell of an easier time with dream recall then I do so I don't know where else to pin this lack of motivation down other then ignorance. Don't you quit when your time has just begun.

Also I have to ask: is this secretly a trolling thread?
