Have you hit that golden stage?
Hey,
Within the last two weeks, I've finally hit the stage I want to be at in lucid dreaming. I spent over a year tirelessly investing every waking moment looking into lucid dreaming, involving myself with the dream world (whether it be art, helping others, or just thinking about dreams) and trying to WILD and DILD so much, I eventually started to get mentally drained.
Over the last few months, I've just been too tired to keeping WILDing. But with all the experience I developed over my intense lucid dreaming year, I've finally achieved what I wanted.
For two weeks now, I've been realizing I am asleep flawlessly, once a night. The best part is, usually this happens after I've had a big adventure in the dream, so after the non-lucid fun is over, I become aware I am asleep, usually wake up, and can DEILD. I have noticed that sometimes I become aware I am asleep, then just don't bother to do anything-- but now I have so much opportunity, I don't feel as desperate to make use of the lucid time as I used to, which leads to a better quality of dream.
Its very low maintenance now, I don't have to keep up with those hardcore RCing programs and whatnot, I just RC when I feel appropriate (which I find is about once or twice a day now).
I want to know, have you hit the stage where you get huge results with less effort (Its almost like I've been promoted to a job, with less work and more profit. :P )?
I know for a fact there are people here that have got to that stage already, which has always been motivation for me, knowing that it is possible. I've always been astounded at Mzzkc's lucid ability, which also kept me going.
