I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I kept forgetting it... Maybe because I stopped caring for some weird reason, or real life got sufficiently interesting for me to stop caring about LD adventures. Maybe after this little exchange I will be reminded when I am about to sleep and I will report on what happened.

Hey NyxCC, I'm a bit desperate. I had a nice little period where I was getting lucid almost every day. Like 5-7 lucid dreams a week. For a few weeks. And now I'm not getting lucid, like not at all. Maybe a few minutes once a week. Also, the frequent LDs were 5-10 minutes and I wasn't very clear minded, sometimes semi-lucid. I was very happy about it, thinking it would improve slowly and I'd be having crazy adventures every night. :( Well I was wrong.
So I'm going to start doing reality checks again. And repeat this phrase: "Next time I'm dreaming, I look at my hands and realize I'm dreaming."
I'm also going to read Sensei's dream journaling tips. Also, I've been writing in my journal (with paper and pencil, it's a lot better than my phone, it's revolutionary! which is a little ironic, since a phone is more modern :P) every day, for about 15-45 minutes a day. My recall is alright, but it seems to be hovering at about the same place. But I know from years of experience that progress is not straightforward, I must keep trying and remain patient. I remember 1 or 2 dreams, about 15-30 minutes of content usually.
Couuld you give me some tips? I thought I didn't need a mentor anymore but now I do. Also, nice talking to you again. I admire you for still helping out people :)

I'm also going to read some stuff here and there on DV.
edit: this is the next day. I just had a really cool lucid dream. 7/10 a 10 being the best lucid dream I've ever had

Good to see you Ginsan and congrats on the ld!
Are you still in need of tips? How have your practices been? Were you doing them often or decided to drop them altogether? I know this can have an influence on lucidity even though it doesn't show immeditely. If that's the case then you just need to make a nice plan for yourself and follow it.
You can go back and read your own awesome lucids to remind yourself of all those moments and that they are totally attainable because you've been there before. :)

I'm not motivated anymore so I'll just chill for now.
