      Lucid Practice

      Hey all!

      I was just curious about practicing lucidity. How long did it take you (the reader) to practice lucid dreaming in order to finally be at a comfortable rate of awareness? I've still found no comfort zone, personally my motivation, courage and belief is damaged in some way and I havn't really been trying my hardest to lucid. I've been trying to use lucid foods to help me lucid, it's not been working at all though. I read about dreaming all the time on here, I'm on here most. Basically I need some help still, I don't want to WBTBWILD because I'm too lazy for that and I really do not want to go to bes, sleep for five our six ours, do whatever, and then do SPWILD. It's too much for me, I'm lazy and I don't like putting that much effort into things. So how long did it/will it take you too lucid dream? Ofcourse guessing the date is impossible, but I don't want to filter people out.

      Lucid success is not a destination, but a journey. The true lucid dreamer will never be satisfied with their current level of lucidity, instead they will always seek to improve. That being said, it's always encouraging to be able to measure success.

      Once you get used to lucid dreaming, it's hard to get that original excitement back. It's especially hard when all of your recent lucids seem to pale in comparison to older ones. I haven't figured out how to restart my motivation yet. I thought I had it during a recent lucid. Spectacular things happened. Yeah. Just hold on to the inspiring dreams, and I'm sure your will will return.

      Also, I dislike WILDing during winter. I can't even get up to WBTB. It's just too cold!

      I know this has been said by many of DV fellows, but why don't you try to convince yourself in some period of your time during the day and make believe that everything you see is a dream. In this state of mind where you see everything as a dream, what happens is your mind develops a stable state of consciousness.

      This state of thinking actually believe it or not has gotten me many DILDs. Thinking this way, your mind gets confused and actually starts to question this reality, but it is you who is causing this confusion on purpose. Dude believe it or not, we can fool our own minds and that's just plain creepy.

      So, making believe your daily reality is just a dream will eventually have an impact on your mind and your dreams. Good luck and just remember, don't do anything crazy while trying this technique or you just might end up looking like a lunatic. Try and control yourself as you do this technique and just know that it's only your mind that you are fooling

      I've never heard that said before, so thank you!
