How often do you have lucid dreams?

[The_Andyman]

Well, I'm new to the boards, but not so new to lucid dreaming. I suppose i've been toying with information i read about lucid dreaming for about 4 months, with little success. I guess the problem i have is a lack of motivation. hah I bet the amount of work and reward a 'motivated' beginner could get out of a week of practice is about equal to the amount of stuff that i've accomplished in 4 months... to get back to my point, i guess as a boost to 'motivating' me to work harder, i was wondering how often some of you have lucid dreams? Is it like 1 every night? or not that often? and are these lucid dreams that you have control over? Thanks for the time and your responces -- Andy

Hiya Andy, welcome to the forum! In answer to your question, I find that when I'm motivated (which is a problem for me as well ) and really working at it, I can have 2-3 LDs a week. Some folks seem to be able to do it every night without much effort. Everyone is different, but I think that if you really are dedicated that having at least a few every week is an achievable goal.

It depends on the time of year, in school I will not have very many at all, if I'm realy motivated I'll probly have them every week end, in the summer I could have them everyday if I was realy motivated and had realy good dream recall, I sometimes will have 2 and even get in pationt if I only have 1 a day, but it was usualy everyother day when I'm fairly motivated. I would have to say Tygerhawk is right about the 2-3 thing, thats the averidge lucid dream rate if you averidgly motivated

Welcome to our funny farm! We hope that you'll stay 4ever. Anyways, I have them for extended amounts of time every night & have had them since I was 3, & hope to continue doing so (can't resist adjusting the difficulty on Fire Emblem in my dreams, making it harder!)

I'm studying LD since january and I'm having 1 LD/week. I'll be very happy if a start to have 2-3 LD/week :-)
