I havnet posted on these forums in a while, ever since I had my first LD about a month ago. I actually quit lucid dreaming after my first LD, because I just thought that it would come naturally. Gradually I started caring less and less, not writing dreams in dream journal, no RC's, no meditation, no WBTB, nothing.

Today it all changed. I had my second(and third) LD without doing anything for a month. It was ever more vivid(9/10), more realistic, and I had more control then the first one. It was really realistic, like I was actually in the real world, maybe even a little more vivid. I had total control, and did many cool things like teleporting, or increasing clarity, flying etc.

Now that I had an unexpected Lucid dream, that left me feeling like I was on top of the world(lol), I am eager to get back to the whole practice. But I know that eventually I will lose my motivation(just like I did before). My question for you guys is how to stay motivated enough to do all the things necessary to have lucid dreams often, and are RC's really necessary? how often?
