Hi there, & welcome to the forum!
To stay motivated in learning LDing, you might want to keep a DJ. Also, you probably aren't going to pull it off right away, & the best thing to do is to keep trying. Never quit, b/c that is just going to make matters worse.

Ive had a DJ few months ago, tho i got bored of this.
Yes, i dont want to quit. I think it like this: If i quit right now, with only like 2-3 lucid ive attained, its pointless all ive done to get those lucid dreams and still no real skill on attaing lucid and keeping it.

You can actually keep a DJ here. You have had 2-3 LDs already?! That is highly impressive, b/c there are many that haven't had any at all, so you are already at a good start, & I bet that you'll have more of them soon!

Those 2-3 Lucid ive had, i had them in within about 3 months of trying to learn it.
It was somewhere in summer, coz from september i havent time to even think about learning it, too much time goes studying ... from somewhere september to this date here, ive had 1 lucid, what i didnt expected. And today, in day sleep, i understanded im in sleep, tho i knew i had no hope no more coz i was to awaked...
but well.. i didnt know that some people have tried luciding for months and no suceed at all

Hey, don't sweat it! Many people wake up upon becoming Lucid, b/c they are too excited. The solution to that is to try to relax upon becoming Lucid, & try to do something simple. And studying can certainly get in the way, b/c stress can make attaining Lucidity quite difficult. Try to relax when you go to sleep, as if there is really no test the next day.

how do u try? i just do reailty checks and that doesnt take long to do

if ive learned anything in lucid, it would be that i can get very relaxed in dreams.
i know that for long time now, coz i had an experiance, and that experience made me relaxed next times.

ive tried lucid only few times on that reality check, ive mostly repeated myself that im dreaming and dreaming, this all is not real, so it must be a dream and so on.

well.. my time is up. going to sleep.

I know how you feel. If it makes you feel any better know there are plenty of others going threw the same thing. To answer you directly, I think a dream remembered is the best motivator. The DJ will not only help to remember dreams but motivation to have one become lucid. Wake up early and go back to sleep for an hour or two in the morning. That’s when most dreams occur.

I'm motivated by the mystery. There are many things I don't know about lucid dreaming and I am intrigued by their mere existence.

I don't think it's out of line to say that it's not likely that you will motivated to learn lucidity if you are not motivated to learn about non-lucid dreams. Recognizing the patterns of non-lucid dreams (recurring themes, dream signs, etc.) can go a long way in becoming comfortable with attaining the lucid experience. So, if you find yourself stuck or uninterested by lucid dreams, and yet you still want to be interested in lucid dreams, focus instead on the dreams you have each night and forget about LD for a while. You may be inspired by your own findings!

Yeah I think everyone whos not a 'pro' or 'natural' goes thru waves of hi and lo intensity. Even if you stop thinking about it, it's not like you're giving up and all your progress will be wasted cuz Im sure at some point you will end up having a cool dream and get inspired to try to get lucid again.
