      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

      Everything makes sense once you stop thinking about it

      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.
      "“Evil? Good? These are merely words. In the eyes of the universe neither of those exist. There are only three elements, that act as a base for all that you see around. There is Light. There is Dark. And there is the balance between those two. Good and Evil are concepts,used to deny oneself from serving the balance. By serving, you participate in the great creation."

      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

      Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

      For me, for DILD, its realizing I'm dreaming...
      But I think once I hit Lucid it will be just that hard to make me go back? o_O Can't wait to pop the thought "That makes no sense... I must be dreaming!"

      Im just hopefully waiting to be put into an event where my senses go "... I wonder what time is it" like in class at school. ( Its a good place to realize your dreaming right? ) Its like "I wonder what time is it.." -Looks at clock- "Thats not right, School at 3 AM? I must be dreaming!" <- I am just waiting for that

      Other than that, I can be very gullible ( Flying jets when I don't really have one... And shooting down enemy aircraft just doesn't send me the message )

      Currently the hardest thing for me to do is the ability to keep flying, even when DCs chase me. If no one is bugging me, I fly just fine. But the moment a DC tries to catch me, I have the hardest time staying up!

      The hardest thing for me is trying to stay aware all the time in real life. I hope that once I can do that it will carry over in my dreams. I have just given up wild for now.

      Get motivated. For me its the hardest part. As i observed in recent days. It helps, when i have some goals and when i am really happy about them. That helps, but thats the hardest part for me.

      If i am motivated {i know, what my lucid dream should be about and be pretty happy with it}, lucid dream simply comes. And thats fine.

      The hardest thing for me would be the final stages of WILD. I get excited because I know I'm close, and invariably it goes back to square one. Frustrating yes, and frustration and WILD don't go to well together for me. Though a few of my "failed" WILD's end up me getting up out of bed from frustration, INTO a LD/FA, quite humorous actually when I think about it. Other than that, Pure Laziness on my part!

      Remembering to do stuff. It's so hard to do a task, like the task of the month. I swear, I have ADD or something when asleep, I just end up doing whatever I feel like at the moment.

      The hardest thing for me is finding a good time to work on lucid dreaming.

      If I'm in the right mood and there are no interruptions lucid dreaming isn't hard at all.

      Chalk another one up for WILD. I get vibrations and that's it. One time when listening to a bwgen preset I lost my sense of hearing. It lasted for like a second, but that was the farthest I've ever got.
      In dreams of unspeakable joy—of restored friendships; of revived embraces; of love which said it had never died; of faces that had vanished long ago, yet said with smiling lips that they knew nothing of the grave; of pardons implored, and granted with such bursting floods of love, that I was almost glad I had sinned—thus I passed through this wondrous twilight. —George MacDonald

      Stuff really started to get a whole lot easier control wise lately. WILD occasionally late at night/early in the morning, really can't be bothered to set an alarm. Biggest problem though: Staying in the dream after an orgasm. This is pretty much impossible for me, but a DEILD usually works to get back in

      I can't go thru solid things like walls and ceilings. I can finally go thru glass every time, and maybe a door, but I can never just blast up out of a room if I get stuck. I sreem to be getting weaker too; I used to get part-way thru, with my hands stuck in the ceiling, but last time I tried I just cracked it.

      I think it's motivation. Since I can't recall my dreams very well now I kind of started losing motivation. Also, when I get lucid the hardest part for me is to keep it. Staying lucid.

      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
