i have had many lucid dreams. every time i've read exploring the world of lucid dreaming by stephen laberge i've had ten or so in roughly usually a three month period. i have read it about every three years since i was 15 then typically slacked off and stopped having them. i read it recently and had one. that was in early february then i started trying to do it with dream yoga for two and a half weeks with zero success. i gave up and am trying MILD again, i'm using random times to state test throughout the day decided on and written out a week before that i only read in the morning and hitting all or at least three of four each day. still nothing. any ideas or theories on why i'm having such bad luck when i've always been good at it before? the only differences in recent years are i quit drinking and smoking. is it because i'm leacking the alcohol created REM rebound??? i don't get it please help.

You're just hitting a dry spell, you will get over it if you continue to try. Remember to stay optimistic and confident in your ability, it tends to help.

You're kinda going through the same thing as me - I've hit what you'd call a dry spell, it's been a week since my last LD, but I'm still trying. I think it's due to the slightly increased stress from going back to school now that spring break is over. Have you had any added stress lately?

Have you had any added stress lately? yeah i actually just went back to my stressfull job after three months paid leave, and a new baby! so maybe thats all... thanx. hope it turns up for you as well.

alright lucid last nightttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!! soooooooooooo happy!!! i was standing in front of some kind of weird machine while looking at a cell phone thingy and choosing what i wanted to be (fish, goat, bird) and realized i was dreaming, i wanted to be a human again and wanted to go to talk to the buddha so i started spinning and said buddha or something and was worried about the idea that spinning can cause false awakenings. then i woke up and went into the kitchen and flipped the light switch and nothing happened. so i went to the living room, same thing. i went back into the bedroom and told my fiance' the power was out and then woke up for real ha ha! (and i HAVE adjusted light before in dreams so...) so i lost lucidity but that moment of knowledge and the feeling of limitless possibilities felt great i'm happy and i'm glad to hear clyde machine had one too!!!
