Your brain is giving you a cruel situation now. Could it be the stress or excitement? Or just the focus on lucid dreaming which causes your brain to mess with you? |

So I have been trying to lucid dream since last July. No luck although there were several opportunities to possibly slip into one but I just do not realize it while in the dream state or when I tried after going through SP. I stopped trying for about a month or so after experiencing the crazy scary SP, but during that time of not reading anything about lucid dreaming...I found that my senses while dreaming were all heightend. I felt many things (including having sex at one point and I remember feeling amazing) but also just touching random things and everything was very clear and vivid. My dreams ran more smoothly than sporadic scenes like they normally are. |

Dream recall and having lucid dreams fluctuates. You may not be doing anything different, and sometimes you won't remember your dreams and you won't have any LDs. That's normal. But if you are forcing or trying too hard to have LDs, that could be a problem. It's better to "know" that you gonna have a LD tonight, than "wish" to have it. It will come back, don't worry. |

Yes this happens to me too, but the good thing is it probably isn't all bad news. The expectation and excitement of having a lucid dream could indeed inhibit your ability to have one, maybe because you are spending more energy etc. |

Awesome, thank you for all of the advice! I am excited to someday be able to lucid dream so that is the outlook I will keep. A couple of weeks ago I was practicing MILD every night and meditating right before bed and that did help. I just got stressed out with school a little, but I'm going to start it back up tonight. Thanks again! |
