A first LD after 3 weeks isn't bad. |
|
So it's been about 3 weeks of doing RCs. Just a couple days ago I start doing ADA. 5 times everyday for about 3 minutes noticing the details and just noticing everything. And I only had 1 LD. I've also been saying mantras like "I will lucid dream" couple times every night and I say stuff like "am I dreaming?" During the day and do RCs. That still hasn't helped. |

Yes I have a dream journal app on my ipad. I write my dreams down |

Mantras should be engraved into your head - don't just think it twice, think it two hundred times over. The point of the mantra is to reassure you that you will get what you want. |

DILD - 42 | WILD - 14 | OBE - 0 | AP - 0
Is this your first time doing Lucid Dreaming? If so I wouldn't go with the methods you are using. I never had much success with ADA and I had over 100 of em over the years. |

1 LD after only 3 weeks is great. Keep it up, and work for #2 |

I have no say, since I am a natural lucid dreamer (Don't want to brag or anything...) |

That is good progress actually! |

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.

Awareness and intent are the most important things. Keep up with your awareness training, RCs and mantras. They already paid off. Now you just keep doing it. |

I would estimate that on average, people have their first lucid dream after perhaps 4 or 5 weeks - if they practice consistently. |

So much of lucid dreaming is keeping a healthy sleep schedule. I would often go to bed at 1-2AM because of college, and I wasn't seeing results. Finally, I began forcing myself to sleep at 11:30-12 and I became lucid soon after. Go to bed too late, and you're simply too tired to become aware. I also stay off of electronics a few hours before bed, as some tests say it depletes Serotonin levels which help in dream vividness and control. I think many of us here know the feeling of playing a video game ALL day, and then having it feverishly burned into your mind as you struggle to sleep. |

3 weeks is heaven. I've been trying for almost a year, and only this and last month I managed to get RC in my dreams, so i could almost get lucid. Also i started trying WILD this week, gotta learn a little bit about it yet. |

Three weeks is pretty good. For me it took slightly less when I just started and at first my lucids were far and few between…maybe one or two a week. I've been at it for just over 3 months and now I have about 10 lucid dreams per week. I think keeping a journal and practicing self-awareness is very important as well as using mantras and visualization techniques (imagine yourself getting lucid in a recent dream you had and then take yourself through stabilization and what you want to accomplish in the dream). |
