Thread: Help again

i can remember my dreams pretty good normally 2 dreams per night.

during the day i do things that puffin says like being aware if your dreaming by looking around you and using your senses and stuff. and then doing reality checks. ive been doing it for around 2 months now but i only have had 1 semi-lucid dream and that was quite some time ago.

in my dreams i never question where i am or how i got here. i seem to just go with the flow

what can i do to help
thanks p.s i use the MILD technique

well im no expert in lucid dreaming, so i cant help u too much.
all i can really think of is choosing a different technique

Well this is how it is for everyone, just keep on trying, it requires most people a lot of time, patience and determination
Try switching up your techniques, like said above

Hmm. Are you sure you're doing everything right? Looking around at everything closely. Becoming aware of all the colors, sounds, sights, etc around you? Then really questioning if it is a dream several times throughout the day? You haven't just made it into a habit you don't think about?

Like Lizh said, if you really don't feel like it is working you can try switching techniques for a while, or taking a small break from LDing. It's good you have been sticking with it for 2 months! Sometimes it takes longer for different people. Just remember to be confident and believe that you will really have a lucid dream tonight. Good luck

I can somewhat relate to this because prior to this week I was not lucid dreaming much. I have had 2 LDs this week, which is far better than ever before. I figured out my own way to be "aware". I had been trying the ADA and SAT awareness techniques but I would too easily forget to do RC's and check if I was dreaming. I decided that every time I changed scenery (walked into a new room, a different place) I would do an RC and ponder my waking state. Primarily, I would ask myself how I got there and visualize everywhere I had been before. I then think something like,"In my warm bed, I wouldn't feel the air conditioning in this room." Then I do a few RC's and get back to my schedule. The awareness techniques work, for me it is just a matter of making it a priority to know if I am dreaming or not. Hope this can help.

A lot of people wait a lot longer than 2 months before even getting 1 lucid dream, so if you really want to have one, I would keep trying. Remember that when you are being aware and questioning reality, actually put your focus into it don't just do it passively because if you do that, you'll end up doing it passively in your dreams as well and if you find something inconsistent in the dream and realize it, you still may not be aware enough to become lucid. I have never become lucid in a dream by just randomly doing a RC, I have always first noticed something wierd and then performed the RC to confirm, so make sure you are really being aware enough, soon enough the awareness will pass into your dreams like many of your other habits.
