Hi everyone my name is Jake and i'm kinda new to dreamviews.com but kind of enjoying it so far. My question is why is LD so hard?! I have been trying to achieve a lucid dream since last october. Of course i got frustrated often and around christmas took 2-3 weeks off believing that it might help me a little to stop obsessing over this. Then I began trying again around the middle of January and then around the 2nd week of February I just completely gave up. I lost all hope believing that I'm the one person in the entire world who can't have a LD. Some of you are going to read this and say what a little baby he doesn't want to Lucid Dream fine with me who would ever want to help this little cry baby? I would love for you to be on my side of this whole situation. You don't think I have read all the posts, all the books and watched all the youtube tutorials. You don't think that i have 2 dream journals filled with only little bits and pieces of dreams that I haven't done Billions and Billions of RC's or that I haven't said to myself every night "Okay this is it tonight is the night I will have my first lucid dream" Well guess what I've done all that and more and still haven't gotten anywhere. I just don't know what else to do I have just now decided to get my courage back and try again but i have to tell you I don't know if i can take much more of the disappointment. There is so much I want to do in the dream world stuff I have been building up since October. There isn't anyone i can talk to about this stuff, no one to help me or tell me what i'm doing wrong. So if any of you can do anything to help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks everyone for reading this if you even made it this far it means a lot (:
