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?
