      I've got an hype about LDing...

      See the title.

      Is it good for me to have an hype on Lucid Dreaming, knowing how many things I might be able to do in these? Or should I try to calm down on the stress a bit?

      That right, I used to have an ellipsis. I used to be cool... Oh wait I never was.

      It is definitely a good thing to have motivation, or there will be no real point to trying . On the other hand, if you get too over excited, then do not achieve immediate success, this could be a harsh blow, and you could find yourself going in the opposite direction.

      A piece of advice: try and spend a lot of time browsing these very forums. They are packed full of useful tips, and will give you loads of motivation if you start to lack it.

      Also, stick with your chosen technique for a good amount of time, then if you have no success, you could try taking a day or three off from techniques.

      There's my twopence worth (although I hope it is worth a bit more to you)

      some people say that stressing too much about having lucid dreams will make it harder for you to have them. I was once told to not even try every night, just to try every few nights and then take a break. I think that it could be possible that trying hard every day would hurt your chances, but it also might not. every person is different so you gotta just find out what works for you.

      i've read on here that quite a few people tried to LD for 1-3 months (maybe even longer but thats usually the amount of time) with no success. Then they said that when they gave up they finally had one

      I don't know about stress, but beware the excitement. You just might make yourself wake up earlier than you normally would from your first lucid! If you realize you are lucid, try to calmly say it to yourself (so you don't forget, which is actually easily done) while examining the environment, and make sure you don't get so excited that you wake yourself up!

      Well, it seems to be different for everyone. But for me being excited about it really helps. Since you dream about the things that are the most prominent in your mind. the excitement can bring the idea of Lucid Dreaming into your dreams quicker. hence, helping you to become Lucid.

      But yeah, it can be true that if you get to excited after becoming Lucid, it can wake you up. But at the same time, if you don't wake up the excitement can really make the experience intense. Because your excitement will be reflected in the environment around you, giving you an experience you will never forget.
