Thread: Is It Possible That Someone Can't LD??

It's all right but have you ever tought that maybe you're trying TOO hard? sometimes its best to forget it just for 1 day or 2 and then with new energy try again

thats good never give up, what you should do is take a cold shower around 5am, it works very well, at least 50% of the time or try deild or fild. just dont expect it wont happen, if you think it wont work it wont, if you think you will you will.

Yeah I know. And I am taking a day off. Im thinking that I might be doing something wrong. Maybe Ill try and get a mentor at the adoption area. Idk, I just really want to experience what all the hype is about! It sounds amazing!

Maybe WILD isn't for you? I've nearly perfected my personalized DILD. With proper motivation, a consistent sleep schedule, and a reliable alarm, I can lucid dream whatever night I plan to (usually on weekends)... But that took time. Months. Seasons. You've been on this site for what, a few weeks? And you've only been trying WILD? WILD is very hard for some (... Me.), while it is the only way to lucid dream for others. Perhaps you're a DILD kind of person?

Branch out. If WILD doesn't work for you to the point you get discouraged... Try a different technique!

Well I have a feeling that Wild is going to be it. Becuase I can get into an SP state at will. I have never DILDed in my life, usually people have done it without realizing it before. And whenever I try FILD I get too tired to keep my fingers moving and it just keeps me awake. I think with a little more practice, I will be able to WILD. But I am definitely taking tonight off.

Not trying DILD because you've never DILDed before? That's a lame excuse. That's like me saying I'm not going to try WILD because I've never WILDed before...

Anyway, do whatever fits you best. Just remember to keep your recall up, and reality check every time you wake up, even if you don't care for DILDs... Because what happens if you WILD, and then lose it to a false awakening because you don't reality check?

That's my advice. And you will improve, no matter what technique you do. It just takes patience (if only we knew how much!). But you will succeed. It is inevitable!

Thank you. You have helped. I guess Im just really tired from my lack of sleep yesterday so in turn made me semi-depressed. Ill be back to my normal chipper cant-wait-to-LD self tomorrow. And I WILL LD tomorrow....somehow. But yeah, thanks!

Give the WILDing attemps a break for a few days, and just keep up with your dream journal and reality checks. I think maybe you are just wanting it too much, and trying too hard. Perhaps if you give it a break for a few, it will be easier to achieve. Or maybe you will DILD right when you give up

That could be cool.

I've done that. My first decent LD was a DILD during a three day break from trying.
