If you think you're ready, the WILD technique could be a good way to have a fully conscious LD. At any rate, you've made better progress than I did in that time frame. |

Hi, just signed up to Dream Views, used it before but didn't have an account until now, anyway I have been practicing Lucid Dreaming for about 6 months now, I have had a few semi-lucid dreams but not a fully conscious one, I'm doing reality checks all of the time and trying my best to keep a dream journal but I feel like I'm getting nowhere, I haven't had any lucid dreams even at their most basic level for a long time and I'm really starting to wonder if I will ever get to the point where I can have them by will like 75% of the time like some people claim they can, hell, I even wonder if I will ever get a full conscious LD, so have any of you been in a similar situation as this and how did you get out? |

I came back to the hobby about 5-6 months ago, after about 20 years of not practicing LD. In the past 5-6 months, I have succeeded only 4 times, and yes, there have been times when I have doubted whether I could do it. I am in a better situation than you because I know I can do it though because 20 years ago I remember being good at it, but I do not remember why I quit, and frankly I expected to be much better at it faster when I joined here in February. |

You may say I'm a dreamer.
But I'm not the only one - John Lennon
I know this feeling as well. I have tried last year, but then I stopped after not succeeding (bad idea) and now I re-started trying to achieve lucidity. To be honest I really regret having stopped.... |

I have herd about people saying that they have been more aware in waking life from learning lucid dreaming but truthfully I feel no different, is this something you gain with experience from analysing the dream world and seeing what is real and what isn't? |

Have you considered making a dream catcher? I know it sounds lame and gimmicky, but the physical act of making a simple dream catcher (which can honestly be made out of an old coat hanger and yarn), can be a big help. Traditionally, these items are intended to catch bad dreams and let good dreams flow in. I built mine to catch all the dreams and funnel them to me regardless of content. It's all about the intent you put into it when you build it. |

Legacy, I think that feeling simply comes from practicing ADA. Lucid dreaming certainly helps, though. |
|
I used to think that Lucidity Control would not become a reality for me, I have been trying for a good couple of years with different methods, Then suddenly I have two of have them without really trying. I was really surprised and sorry for ever doubted the possibility. My dreams have always been ultra realistic just could never realize i was dreaming until i woke up. |

Im me ull see
I feel the way you do tonight man...I had one amazing LD experience (the first one after a few weeks) but it took so much energy to enter into it and for some reason I'm just discouraged. I feel like It won't ever happen again. But reading about all this inspires me again. |

Never doubt that you can have a lucid dream. Anyone can do it, it might be hard at first but anybody can do it. |
|
What everyone else has said before me is true. The act of lucidity is all about expectation and attitude and determination. Being negative won't ever help you in this hobby. |

Legacy, have you read Stephen LaBerge's book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming? This book got me started. I highly recommend it. The first few chapters really explain the techniques. |

Hey Legacy, you're not alone! |
