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

Well I perform reality checks regularly. Ill just have to see what happens.

It's all right but have you ever tought that maybe you're trying TOO hard?

That's probably true. I remember that I was trying too hard at first too, and I decided to just take a short break. That same night I had my first long DILD.

Also, if you want to take a break from WILDing, I came up with a sort of variation of WBTB that might be of some help: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=41644

Try a day of doing them every 15 minutes or so, as often as you possibly can.

Also, be sure and keep a good dream journal.

Don't give up mate - but don't try to hard or force the matter. Simply accept that one day you WILL have a Lucid Dream. It's a phenomenal experience. The sleeep paralysis experience you had is a landmark experience. Most people don't have or fear them - it is us oneironauts whose nocturnal practices pave the way to such experiences and we eventually rewarded with the fruits of such practice - LUCIDITY.

Donl't allow yourself to have any negative thoughts as the subconscious mind finds it far easier to manifest negative results - they simply take less effort to produce.

Repeat some positive affirmations to yourself as your fall asleep - and then, forget the WILD and MILD methods. Just simply enjoy sleep for a few nights without 'trying'.

Then, when you have broken free of the negative loop you will be in a better state of readiness and your subconscious will assist rather than hinder your desired goal.

Good Luck.
