      Take a break

      So I have been trying to lucid dream now for about three months and only successfully had one lucid dream. After a while I was feeling quite tired of trying to do all of my day time prep for a lucid dream so I decided to take a weeks break. During this one week I had many experiences where I was close to lucid dreaming. For instance I realised something was up in one of my dreams so I checked my hand. although nothing happened I felt the same as I had in the only lucid I've actually had.
      This method of taking a break after a long period of lucid attempts seems to of helped me a little. Has anyone else tried this? If so what results did you get?

      That's very interesting. I've just started though, so I'll test it out if I ever get a dry spell ^_^

      Taking a break from something you do regularly always will help to rid you of bad habits that have formed.

      This is very common for people to do, it shows what the stress of lucid dreaming is like n_n
      From my rotting body,
      flowers shall grow
      and I am in them
      and that is eternity.
      -Edvard Munch

      Hello MrZhume

      When I hit a "Dry Spell" with recall I back off for a few days and that is when i usually have my recall hit me like freight train, sometimes we have such high expectations and we are so anxious that the stress of wanting to succeed inhibits our ability to do so, I find 2 days of regular sleep puts my mind at ease.
