Frequency of DILDs?

**bsurfer2d3** · 01-19-2009 10:12 PM

Just wondering what everyone's frequency of DILDs are. For some reason I only get a DILD once a month, maybe 2 times if I'm lucky. What about you?

Most of my lucids are DILDs, so 1-2/day?

Wow! Do you take or do anything to increase your chances? Or are they just natural?

Walms is a natural

I get about 2+ a week. Usually just 2, unless I DEILD. I'm already full on this weeks quota, damn

Usually 2 or 3 a week, but now that I have a dream sign, it has been 1-2 a night

Natural is just another name for: "Lucky SOB!" I'm so jealous Walms.

My DILD frequency isn't stable it seems. When I first joined I would get one or two a week. I think that eventually climbed so that I could get like three a week. Now I'm down to an average of under one a week. I'm trying to get back to my joining levels though. I haven't even had one LD since the start of 2009...

"bites shift" You know I doesn't like to be called natural... makes seem those 8 years of training like nothing ;.;
Also, I get them trough RC, gravity RC, never took anything to increase the rate, dislike medicine <.<

Aw, I feel your pain. Mine evened out to 2-4ish low-quality a week after a few months of heavy duty practice, but I had one tragically awful dry spell that lasted essentially from November until December, with a few sparse ones in between. I hope that never, ever happens again

Have you slacked on your DJ? I found that for me, as soon as I stop keeping mine every night, dream recall and LD frequency plummet

And, sorry Walms! I didn't realize you don't like the term. Hey, when everyone gets over their jealousy they'll come running to you for years and years of natural experience and eight years of applied technique and experience

Anyway... *mental note not to use 'natural' again*

so it sounds like most of you have at least one a week minimum. For some reason I only have one a month on average. I keep a dream journal and think about dreams pretty frequently. Do you guys do RC periodically throughout the day? Any tips to help me increase my lucids? Thanks.

*I've read other threads about some techniques on how to possible increase lucids. Just wondering what you guys are doing.

I used to do RCs a lot, but now I only do them every once in a while.
You should try and find a dream sign. That would help you a lot.

**shotbirds** · 01-20-2009 09:46 PM

eh, once a weekish but they arent good.

I need to find a constant dream sign

**Shift** · 01-21-2009 12:17 AM

I do a handful of intense reality checks throughout the day. That's literally all I do to lucid dream (besides spend hours and hours of my life on DV with you people

But the LDs were happening before that

)
