      Did I just have beginner's luck?

      The same week I learned about Lucid Dreaming, I had about 3 or 4 lucid dreams. But now it's thursday, and I haven't had a lucid dream in days, and I haven't even remembered my dreams very well! My DJ IRL looks terrible.. just a few sentences here and there.
      Did I just have beginner's luck? I thought that I was just a natural lucid dreamer, but I think it might have just been a fluke...

      Well it could have been just beginner's luck. A lot of people tend to have their first lucid dream within a week of first reading about it, and then it stops.

      It sounds like you just need to focus on your recall right now, and then start working on having lucid dreams once your recall goes up. You have to remember to be confident and positive that you will have lucid dreams. Good luck!

      Agree 100%. Also, you'll most likely find there are certain days where you're more likely to have a lucid than others. I'd recommend keeping a tally chart or likewise to deduce what days are best for you.

      Maybe your initial excitement was enough to cause a few lucid dreams. You are lucky. Now you know exactly what you are working towards.

      lots of times it comes in spurts, your brain just got a lot of new information and it's sorting it for storage. It does this during dreams, so if you learned a lot about lucid dreaming, your brain is going through all of that while you are dreaming, which is why lots of people have them right away. Try WBTB.
