LDs not as clear as they used to be?

i've started to notice that my lucid dreams are becoming somewhat less clear. has anyone else noticed this and had this problem? my first lucid dream was so vivid and so real that it was absolutely amazing. i woke up in the middle of the night, telling myself that night was the best night of my life. honesty, it was that amazing. (this occurred about two weeks ago). however, this week i've had a handful of lucid dreams. last night i had two separate DILDs and they were just fuzzy and not as clear, yet still fun. are some lucid dreams not as realistic as others? i find myself wanting to go back to those feelings that my original lucid dream gave me. i would like to say that i'm still absolutely in love with lucid dreams. it literally gets me excited to go to sleep. i'm also really happy that after becoming educated with the concept of lucid dreaming and reality checks, i've become basically a natural when it comes to determining dream from reality, unlike other people who practice for years :)

There are many tricks to making dreams more vivid. Some common ones are rubbing your hands, spinning, and touching things in the dreamscape.

Hope that helps! ;)

Also, sometimes just looking at your hands is enough. Really, really look at them. Notice the lines in them, their color, etc.
This works for all the senses. Really listen, and think about what you hear. Smell, taste, touch... Any of these things will help you (re)gain clarity.

Yeah, also, it may not be that your Ld's aren't that clear, it may be that your memory fo them is fuzzy, I dunno if those are the same things but I try to work on my Dream Recall before my clarity.

thanks for your help guys!
i'll try some of those techniques next time i LD.
i haven't had one since saturday night, but i'm gonna keep trying tonight
i find it hard to have them on days where i have classes though, which is why weekends are ideal for me!
might have to wait until then :(
i also think that a WILD would be more clear than my usual DILD method.
i have yet to accomplish a WILD, but i'll keep trying!

Yeah maybe you're just not having good LDs.. I'm experiencing the same problem


don't worry though - amazing LDs do come in a while :D
