Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way
You've got 2 other recent threads that resemble this one in several ways. In the future, it's easier to just keep posting on them so other members can read your previous doubts/concerns and give you a more complete answer. |

Thnx very much. Both of you! I'll adopt a calmer attitude and reassure myself that I can't possibly stay stuck in one part, especially that I didn't get stuck at the first part, which personally feels the hardest (achieving the first LD). How can I repay you?( I know it's only a forum, but it has helped me greatly), especially you Zoth, since you've helped me in almost all of my previous concerns. I really love LDing more than you can imagine. Then again, don't we all do?! |

When I first started this, I pressured myself so much to get LDs that it just wouldn't happen. I eventually just got to the point where I realized that it will take time, much like any other skill. Just like other skills, practice does help. Let go, don't feel so stressed to do this. This is supposed to be fun, not a chore. |

Although I do believe that uncompromising effort can and will allow you to do an "easier" technique like DEILD (for some people it requires not much more than determination and will), if you really wish to have lucid dreams on a regular basis then it is self-exploration that helps the most. If you work on your self as a regular life practice, you will naturally raise your self-awareness and (hopefully) confidence as well. That said, there are many ways to focus specifically on self-awareness for dreaming purposes, though in all my years of lucid dreaming I have not seen a more generally applicable and concise way to do this than Sageous's method. I do recommend you work on your overall self though, introspectively in life and in studying your regular dreams, and with this combination, in time you will truly understand what self-awareness actually means within the context of a dream. |

LDing is very important to me, and I believe that I can build my confidence to achieve Lds at a regular basis. Still a little frustrated though. I am taking a break till Christmas, then I have a two week vacation, where I will work on LDing much more. It's nice to have that free time for LDing, and I expect to have a LD or two, and would last for 5 minutes hopefully. I am so excited!! Thnx all for your help. |

I fill my heart with fire, with passion, passion for what makes me nostalgic. A unique perspective fuels my fire, makes me discover new passions, more nostalgia. I love it.
