After I saw Inception in May, I was very eager to learn how to lucid dream. Beginning May 31, I started keeping a dream journal and thus far have 58 recorded dreams. I started off rocky, with one every couple nights, and eventually got up to 5 or 6 a night, vividly recalled. |

Welcome to Dream views Zack! You should definitely read the tutorials here, they help a lot. Are you using reality checks? I got interested in lucid dreaming back in early 2010 but for some reason stopped but three days ago i started back and i haven't had a lucid dream yet but i know i will soon. Some stuff i like to use to increase my odds of having lucid dreams are binaural beats, the MILD technique, doing reality checks like pinching my nose closed and trying to breath through it, "Really's ultimate lucid induction song" (which has also helped people get vivid non-lucid dreams), Puffin suggested "Jeff777s free-falling WILD technique" which i think is really good. I would have posted links but you have to be registered for 7 days to be able to do that, so use the search bar to find them. |

I've been using reality checks, yes, but I've never done one in a dream. The hard part for me is setting a subconscious schedule every day to do so. For example... at work, I don't really think much about it. And since many of my dreams are work-related, you can see the issue there. As for the binaural beats, I have those on my iPod but my headphones always fall out when I sleep, so I've never had luck with that. I've also tried MILD but have a very hard time getting to sleep after taking those steps and usually my mind drifts off of the mnemonics before I end up in dream. |

I've downloaded the MP3 and will try it tonight. Not sure how well it will work as it appears to be more for meditation and autosuggestion purposes, though. |

That's not to long ago. It's probably just a dry spell. Not a bid deal. I had a 3 month dry spell. |

When you were first picking it up, or after you had become seasoned at it? |

Hi Zack. Great job on getting where you have today! It sounds like you might be having a little bit of a dry spell which is completely normal even if you had been having a lot of lucid dreams before that. It kind of sounds like you might be loosing confidence and you need to keep as much confidence as you can. If your confident, it will happen. If your having trouble with Dream Recall then read this Tutorial. As for waking up right after your dreams that might just be a mental block. Like you think your going to wake up after your dreams so you do. |

Alright, I've got a half dozen things to try tonight, then. Thanks for the kind welcomes and I'll be sticking around this forum for a while I think! |
