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.

But as soon as that motivates me to read up on lucid dreaming again, it stops. I feel like my mind is playing tricks on me. I won't remember any dreams and won't be as vivid as they were when I'm not concentrating on LDing. I used an app a few weeks ago and for two nights it gave me crazy scary weird dreams. I had found my dream sign finally (although it was the friend of an ex - he just kept poppin up in my dreams which I found slightly odd that it would be him of all people) but now I don't see him anymore in my dreams.

Any suggestions on what to do?
