Thread: How to regain Motivation for Lucid Dreaming

Hey there People,
so i am here since May 2015. i started my lucid dreaming career because i was meditating at that time and thought being aware during the night is an awesome addition to the whole being aware during waking. i started with it out of curiosity. And dont get me wrong, lucid dreams are awesome and it makes a lot of fun in general.

But this year i didnt practice it nearly at all and even tho i have some random lucids here and there it got less and less and now the induction is also more difficult than it was a year ago where i just knew what to do with not to much technique...

i really want to jump back on the boat and get my practice started again but i am really not a big fan of writing a DJ. and in combination with my perfectionism to write down EVERY detail i remember so my recall gets better is not very beneficial.

and i am lacking big times of personal goals. its not like i always wanted to visit middle earth or build my own persistent realm or fight something i am afraid of. i enjoy being lucid and practice my skills like fireballs or teleportation or walk thru walls and stuff and what ever and i like some competition but i really dont have any longterm goals for what i do this. its not like when i finally will be good at teleportation THEN i can go to middle earth or something. and even tho it would be interesting to "meet my inner self" or to meet my dream guide or to get to a point where i can actually get some advice or something productive out of my lucid dreams these goals are too abstract or vague and i think even tho it would be nice to have a dreamguide its not an inner strong wish i have so i would invest 20 or more lucids into it until FINALLY my goal would be completed.

And even tho i know this is my problem and everyone is different and has to find his own motivation i thought i would start this thread because everyone was there at a point where the motivation was lacking and some quit and some find them something to keep on going and find something that motivates them to keep up the work and get what they want from it.

So maybe some long term lucid dreamers want to add some of their experiences how to overcome those motivational downs?
