I figured I might as well post this. It's interesting enough.

I haven't had any lucid dreams in an extraordinarily long amount of time. Well, that's not particularly true.

In September of 2008, I had surgery on my small intestine. While I was recovering in the hospital, I had several vivid lucid dreams, one of which I still remember today. I was at a water park which replaced my school's track. I'm pretty sure I completed a "task of the month" with this one. The problem is, it's been five years, five years, and since then, I haven't had many... interesting... lucid dreams. I'm pretty sure the best I got was realizing I was lucid but not actually remembering that I can actually do something in my dreams. I kind of just let them play out how they are.

Other than those dreams, the next best things I've had are lucid dreams where I wake up pretty much instantly.

I can't really blame anything for this except myself, for I haven't made an effort to keep a dream journal in a very long time. Maybe I'll start one again.

My question is- what was your longest dry spell, what instigated it (if anything) and how did you break out of it? I'm curious to know how other people respond.
