Thread: The hardest part of LDing for you

I find some ppl struggle with diffent things in LDs so my question is whats the hardest part for you.

For me id say i dont have one coz they are all easy but if i had to pick it would be patients while attemping Wild though that can be easy if im tried enough. well what about u guys/girls etc... = )

I CAN NOT WILD, I can't ever reach SP, I've tried a bunch of times but even when I exit a dream and stay completely still, it just never happens

I haven't had a WILD. I've not found that balance between awake enough to stay conscious but not end up staying up all night. Usually I'll end up awake from the time I start (2-3 a.m.) until about 20 minutes before I have to wake up (7 am). Then I'm just upset about losing almost a whole night's sleep.

On a couple occasions I've made it to the point of my body starting to vibrate/hum, at which point I get excited and wake myself up.

As far as DILDs go, I have a hard time getting around my dream logic where everything makes sense no matter how ridiculous.

I would have to say right now would be maintaining lucid-ness after consciously attempting, and achieving, a LD. Things have been progressing well... practice makes perfect.

Hardest thing?


Achieving lucidity

WILDing is pretty tough for me but i managed it a few times both times i had my longest, vividest, most lucid LD. So i stick to it

Same here.

if you'd asked me, it would be a mistake to answer this question.

A negative attitude really doesn't help anything with dreaming. Just makes things harder.

Even though I could think of something, Im not going too

I tottally agree! i'd have to say (from the standpoint of newbies anyway) that finding good INFORMATION on lucid dreaming is probably the hardest thing to do. If you practice LD'ing diligently with good methods you will see results fairly quick.

Strangly enough, WILDs come much easier for me than DILDs. I just can't realize I'm dreaming most of the time. I'll actually wake up and remember myself doing a reality check and still not knowing I was dreaming

Without a doubt, the most difficult part of lucid dreaming is the fact that even though I talk about LDing with almost everyone I know, and it occupies a lot of my thought space, I still go 11 days without having one (my current dry spell)

worrying about dry spells and identifying them as "dry spells" only helps to prolong them.

The hardest part, is probably getting lucid while dreaming, and then actually having some power. Keeping stability and lucidity is usually not that much of a problem, I know how to keep my cool

But yea, if I could get more lucids, I guess I would become better at the entire power thing.

avoiding the "fade to black"

1) Staying calm while first entering a lucid dream.. I usually always end up waking myself up after 2-3 seconds because I'm too excited.

2) Not jumping out of almost entering SP

Well I haven't tried I just started my journey but I think it's going to be recognizing I'm dreaming and taking control because I never have thoughts while dreaming I just go with the flow, any thoughts on how to break this?
