I Don't know about you lot, but my skill level in dreaming seems to fluctuate.

I can try for a week to have a lucid dream, and nothing happens. Then some nights, I can almost have total contol for the entire night.

Same thing goes with visualisations. Some days I close my eyes, and see eyelids. On others I can almost see the visualisation like a real image in front of me. Even with my eyes open.

There seems to be a pattern developing where if I try too hard, or want the dream too much, it does not happen.
Only when I do not take the task too seriously do I ever progress to any degree.

Does this, or anything similar happen to other forum members.
I would be very interested in all replies/opinions.
