Hi I heard about lucid dreaming several years ago, but always considered it to be a myth until my girlfriend said she had them all the time as a child and still occasionally now. About 5 weeks ago I started to try it.
started off from the worst place possible, of remembering a broken dream once every 6 months of so. At first went quite well and after a few days had a dream journal of usually a dream a night and sometimes having a decent plot and length.
over the past 2 weeks however its all gone belly up. Lack of remembering anything for days on end and not a single hint of awareness in those I do remember.
I know it's a really bad idea to compare my own progress against others, but who can really help themselves. It is de motivating to read others accounts of them having a few brief seconds of lucidity or those who have one a week of so after a few weeks trying. I just feel I'm heading backwards from a promising start and just a few seconds of success would boost my morale.
