I need help :(

Since I found out about Lucid Dreaming, I've been wanting to do it SO much. To me, lucid dreaming is like an ultimate.. 'skill' or something, you should have learned through out your life.

Anyway, I have been trying to get a Lucid Dream for almost a month now, with little success. I've tried WILD, MILD, WBTB, I even bought the book ETWOLD.

The weird thing is, I've been working at my internship for 2 weeks now. I started with dream recall/DJ 1 week before my internship began, which was the last week of my summer vacation. In that first week, my dreams were pretty vivid, and I was able to recall them very well. But when my internship started, that just faded or something :S I could only recall perhaps 2 lousy dreams in a week, and only fragments of it.

Could anyone tell me what went wrong, or give me tips on how to fix it? I think I need a tutor or something

Did your sleeping patterns change drastically? That most likely has something to do with it.

**Denise** · 09-13-2009 12:47 PM

Well, I go to sleep a bit earlier, and I have to get up earlier as well.

**Marvo** · 09-13-2009 12:53 PM

Then it probably has something to do with what you do when you're awake.

**Denise** · 09-13-2009 12:59 PM

So you have any clue on how to fix it? o.o

**Marvo** · 09-13-2009 01:06 PM

I'd say it's just a matter of adaptation. How long has it been like this?

**Denise** · 09-13-2009 01:11 PM

It's been 2 weeks now

**Marvo** · 09-13-2009 01:13 PM

How many hours do you sleep each night?

**Sugarglider11** · 09-13-2009 01:27 PM

I suggest that you start with recall again, without recall its very difficult to have and remember a lucid dream. Write down everything you remember from a dream even if its just feelings or fragments, it will help your recall improve. Once you get your dream recall back lucid dreaming should be very easy

Thats the problem, I don't recall my dreams anymore

Usually I go to sleep at 22:30, and wake up at 07:00, so thats about 8 and a half hours.

You're already keeping a journal? You could also use the MILD technique for better recall: intstead of saying something like next time I'm dreaming, I will become lucid, say something like I will recall my dream in detail.

**Marvo** · 09-13-2009 05:29 PM

MILD is a good idea, but try limiting it to simply WBTB, as in, you wake up after about 5-6 hours of sleep, stay up for a few minutes, then go back to bed. If you remember any dreams while you're awake, try to write them down quickly, then go to sleep again.

**Maria92** · 09-13-2009 05:56 PM

Pick a technique, and stick with it. I like MILD, because I have decent memory. Some people may like WILD, WBTB, etc. more. Point is, pick a method that you like and keep at it. I agree with Sugarglider: build recall again first. Have patience, and you'll be LDing again in no time.

Disrupted sleep patterns, stress, or even excessive tiredness may be impacting your dreams. I think once you settle into your new sleep pattern, you'll be right back on track. Hang in there!

**Denise** · 09-14-2009 04:25 PM

Alright, well, tonight only a fragment again. I guess I'll give it more time to settle.

Anyways, thanks for the advice
