Thread: This Is So Frustrating!

Almost everyone has to go through it, exept for the lucky ones. I didn´t achieve anything on my first year of trying to LD.. But I wasn´t to serious about it either. You should switch between different techniques and find the one that might suit you. I whould recomend WBTB for succeding the first time. And try it in different ways.
I succeded many time by just sleeping 6 h, being awake 15 min, and then some simple affirmations before I fall asleep again. Just tell your self that it is easy to LD, and that you will realise it´s a dream, and that you will do a RC.

You will have an LD some day. If you get to frustrated, just don´t bother about trying. take a break, and get back into it when you fel like it.

dang a year! I would be way too impatient for that lol

I read up on WILD and MILD, I was thinking about using the WILD technique but everytime I set my alarm to 5:00 am I just turn around and shut it off then go back to sleep lol. I'm interested in the WBTB technique if I could bother you for a good link

Are you keeping a dream journal? Are you doing any reality checks during the day? Those have been the two most helpful practices for me.

I agree with JaphyR, I'm no expert (only 1 LD), but during the first 8 days since i joined DV, all I did was keep a DJ (even if I have to write "I didn't remember a thing") and do RCs whenever you think of it, don't do an RC because you think you have to, only do it if you remember to, eventually it becomes a habit.

Not trying so hard, but truely wanting it also seems to have helped, because the night I got my only LD, I wasn't even thinking about it too much... and I did a RC in my dream out of habit.

Do not get discouraged, you will have one, and maybe when you least expect it, as long as you keep your mind to it.
