Clarifying Questions

[Zach113]

Hello everyone, if don't mind, I have a few questions. How often are lucid dreams? Do you practice for many weeks and then get one dream, then continue to practice for a week or so and then have another? Or are these an every night kind of thing? I am wondering how I can practice controlling dreams and living out fantasies if I only have an adventure in my sleep four or five times a month. So let me know, how many LDs do you usually have in a week or a month? Also, can you recreate people you know in real life in a dream? For example, is talking to passed relatives, or chatting with current friends a possibility? Do the people respond to you as they would respond in real life? And there's one more thing I need cleared up, if whoever is answering these questions doesn't mind . Does one have to practice LDs for a long time before having extremely complicated ones? Or can you immediately leap into a fantasy while having your first lucid dream, while in total control of your surroundings? For anyone who answers one or some of these questions, I truly appreciate it!! Sorry for such a large amount of questions! Thank you very much for your time

Moved to General Lucid How often are lucid dreams? Do you practice for many weeks and then get one dream, then continue to practice for a week or so and then have another? Or are these an every night kind of thing? I am wondering how I can practice controlling dreams and living out fantasies if I only have an adventure in my sleep four or five times a month. So let me know, how many LDs do you usually have in a week or a month? There are no rules as to frequency of lucid dreams. You can have more than one a day, than none for a few days, weeks or even months. You get better results if you practice every day, but nothing is guaranteed. 5 LDs a month is not bad at all. Also, can you recreate people you know in real life in a dream? For example, is talking to passed relatives, or chatting with current friends a possibility? Do the people respond to you as they would respond in real life? You can, but remember, those will be just "actors", not the real people. They can act like the people you know, but there is always an unknown element - you never know what your mind will throw into the mix. Dreams don't always go as you think they would and you often say to yourself "why did that happen? I would never do/say/think like that." Does one have to practice LDs for a long time before having extremely complicated ones? Or can you immediately leap into a fantasy while having your first lucid dream, while in total control of your surroundings? Sure, it's possible. If you lucky and you get a long dream with good control and awareness. Happy dreams

With persistence you'll get it with ease! Keep on trying! I'm certainly working on it! I am very excited to have my first LD. My dream recall is going great after just three days. I managed to remember two dreams last night, for the first time ever in my life! Thanks for the motivation, I'll certainly keep it up.
