Call me impatient but I haven't had a proper LD for 12 nights despite doing heaps of reality checks throughout the day and recalling and journaling my dreams every single night. I had been having a LD every 2-3 nights but now I wake up every morning having slept and dreamed "normally". |

I haven't had a lucid dream for over a week now since I had my last one if I remember right and somehow I can't seem to recall more than like 2-5 min of my dreams now and what I recall is what I dream right before I wake up, and before I had more vivid dreams where I could remember a lot. It's fustrating, but I still don't give up. |
|
Your trying to hard i think. |
|
Thanks peeps. I've just been to the gym and the exercise endorphins have cheered me up somewhat |
|
12 days is a bit short to give up, i havent had a lucid in 2 months even thought my vivedness and recall has shot through the roof. All i can say is i wish i was you :O |
|
I have only had 2 LDs...both in the beginning of november. My recall and vividness is great. I get a little discouraged too but I figure if I did it once im bound to do it again. So I have been reading like crazy different techniques aids ect. To tell you the truth since I have been into LDing I have more patients in life itself...strange I think but it will happen again just dont give up on your mind and the things it can do! |

Hey, I know what it's like...You become almost addicted. Just one fight with a T-Rex, that's all I ask! haha, but I've only had a few pretty lousy LDs, so it must hurt more for you. But hey, it's silly, the more you dream the better you get. I'm sure if we persist we'll all get to the point where we can become lucid any time we want. In the meantime, having withdrawal symptoms is just part of the process. Winston Churchill said "Never never never never never give up" but I say Never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never hmm what was I talking about?? |

Aww thanks paragon, you're a sweetie too and your post made me smile. |
|
Well thanks so much everyone! I just had a LD! Yaaaaaay! I'm sure all your support and encouragement helped |
|
I've noticed with anything I've practiced to get good at, I'll have periods of great success where I'm much better at whatever it is I'm practicing than I ever had been before. However, inevitably I'll enter a slump after that and get very discouraged. I've noticed if I push through these slumps I always seem to end up with another period where I'm even better than I was the last time things were going well. |

Could I add a supplement suggestion? There's a B-Complex by a brand called Source Naturals and it's called Coenzymate B Complex. I have tried every B-Complex available and this is the ONLY one that actually delivers. |
|
Your trying too hard, give it a break for a week, then try again. |
|
Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity for infinite creativity.
Yay |

"I'm doing everything right so why can't I LD?" |
|
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
give up for a while and then when you come back to doing it it will work. |
|
Keep it up. Change up your routine. I just got over a month+ long dryspell and it sucked. Unfortunately I'm a DG so I had to keep coming back and being reminded how much it sucked. Just take a break, relax, try some new things. Read up on a certain technique, or try an aid or apple juice. Try NOT RCing intentionally. Try NOT to think about lucid dreaming. See if you can go 12 days without it or something |

A quick tidbit for lucid dream induction... Piracetam is a nootropic that is under prescription in Europe called Nootropil. I've been researching it's use before bed (I haven't tried it yet, though I have some) and I have come up with all positive and very dramatic reviews for those who take a dose 1 hour before sleeping. One such review on the topic that I pulled from another site: |
|
In the book advanced supplements for lucid dreaming the writer states that piratetam inhibits dreaming. It is used, in his book, to counteract the desensitization of galantime and nothing else. |
|
It was as surprising to me as it was to you, as piracetam has been deemed to have a stimulant effect (as opposed to it's fat soluble pramiracetam). But when I read more into the actual experiences of users who have tried it, they all say that it does some wonderful and bizarre things. |
|
Yeah, I feel happy again lol! Hey, I sent you a PM yesterday with some helpful advice for your first LD. Perhaps you didn't get it? It's a good idea to set your account so you receive an email when someone PMs you |
