      I feel like I am not improving

      If you look at my sig, my first year of lucid dreaming I had 23, and this year was only 14. I had 9 less than last year when I was expecting it to go up or at least stay the same. My last LD was about new years, so I'm looking at a 4 month long dryspell here. Maybe it is a motivation issue or I am doing the wrong thing. Anyway, do any of you guys want to tell me how you broke some of your longest dryspells, or when you really started to lucid dream a lot rather than just every month or so? Maybe it will help me out in breaking my own, and I can see some improvement. I still have 5 days untill year 2 is over so with some luck maybe I can shrink that 9 down, and make year 3 a really great one.

      I feel for you. I didn't have any lucids, when I was out of whack for some reason, like being little depressed, or worried about some health issues. Do you experience anything like this? Other than that, you could revisit your technique. Check in your dream journal what worked for you and what didn't. Compare your technique to the tutorials. What are you doing differently. How do you keep yourself motivated? During my WBTB I always read something LD related, or watch LD videos. I find, that it reflects in my dreams.
      Do you take supplements? B6, 5-HTP, Galantamine?

      The only thing I can think of is that I have a ton of homework since I take so many AP classes. I don't feel like asking my mom to buy me supplements, but when I can drive I may go out and get some. Other than that I think I'm going to just have to try harder, start my reality checks back up, and extend the time I stay up for my wbtb and such. I hope I can end it within the next few days.

      Don't put too much pressure on yourself Instead of trying hard, I would say thanks for all your lucids and other great experiences and just let your higher self know, that you appreciate them and that you would love some more. I think pressure of a deadline may be interfering. Many happy dreams

      I recommend for you to read this thread on ending dryspells. I really hope it helps you!

      Just relax, be confident you will get Lucids, and let them come. Best of luck

      For me it's all a time issue. My life gets very busy at times and it can affect motivation and ability. The thread Mancon suggested is great, might help.
