He's right.

Is that a hint of sarcasm I see there? I mean, I don't get it when some people come on here after a few days and consider themselves to be doing something wrong if they don't have an LD straight away.

Seriously though, it took me 4 months to have my first LD and another 4 months to have my next 2, but I'm always working on it, trying new techniques and mind-state awareness throughout the day.

Keep at it though and you'll have one within a few months at least I reckon, depending on how diligent you are with the process.

To be honest i was rater discouraged after two days of not having a lucid dream as friend of mine says he was about 3-4 every week with our trying. I know now he is either lying or loved by god. But i figure its not to hard to learn how to lucid dream, doing RC around the day and keeping a DJ only take 5-10 minutes out of my day but its a kick in the balls to hear stories about people that have there first LD in a couple of nights.

Don't try too much. If you're discouraged, stop trying. You're only going to have a bad stigma regarding LDs, and you'll have less in return. Take a break for a few days, catch up on some needed sleep or whatever but keep LDing low in your priority list. Rcing is optional but don't stress it.

I had the same problem back when I first started, but I stopped for a while. It helped my mind relax, and I ended up having an LD in the form of a DILD. Ironic, eh?

haha i was talking to sentaku and not the OP.

ah!
don't get discouraged for only 4 days...
I am trying since 4 months and I never have one, but at least I discover something that will help me a lot...but that's another story

Oh okay, thanks for all who posted to reply.
Sorry, I didn't know it was something you had to work on for some time.
I beleive I was lucid for like 2 minutes last night.

Thank you all.

I´m always a bit jealous when I read that people had a lucid dream the night after reading about it the first time. I had 2 in 2 years now and it needs a strong will to keep on going for month and month, even if you have no success.

nice to hear you did have a lucid experience last night I wish you all the best for more of them.
