Thread: Help with LD?

Helo and welcome to DV!

So, a few things. First off, how good is your recall? How long have you been keeping a DJ for? I normally tell people that they shouldn't even attempt lucid dreaming until they've been able to recall vivid dreams for 2+ weeks.

Another thing - stress can greatly affect lucid dreaming. If you're anxious about having a lucid dream, or stressed about lucid dreaming - stop. This can completely halt everything. If you are anxious about lucid dreaming, I would say - stop for a week or so. It's actually surprising how many people do this and end up lucid dreaming!

Also, reality checks before bed are good - but it's most effective if you go through your dream journal and find your dream signs, and do reality checks actively when they appear throughout the day.

I hope some of this helped! Please feel free to let me know if you ever have any questions

thanks! i have only been keeping my DJ for about a week so i have a bit to go. my recall is pretty good. when i wake up i can only remember one thing, but while i am talking(i record the dreams before i write them) tons of bits rush back to me. i can get pretty detailed dreams. ill post some later on.

Awesome! Yeah, the dream journal part of this site is really awesome and incredibly helpful! I look forward to reading them

I've also had my DJ for a week now. I'm trying to get into the habit of actually doing RC's throughout the day so that they may seep into my dream thus, inducing lucidity. I am also excited jack9. Here's my problem though, I try to allow my body to go to sleep, it happens; when I have LD in mind, I'll stay in bed awake for the rest of the night. It's so frustrating to try to gain lucidity. BTW, my dreams are vivid and I have excellent dream recall when I wake up. (well I guess I can't remember how I got there...)

Just added my craziest dream this week caco. i have others but they are long too. i will take my time adding them.
