hello my fellow dreamscape adventurers , i am only new ! this is my 1st entry. ive been trying to achieve lucidity for a month or two now , i do a little research , from various sources i have received great advice , i keep a dream journal and have increased my dream recall tremendously but as of yet have not achieved 'lucidity' , my dreams are increasingly vivid but i cannot curb my enthusiasm for when i realise im dreaming , like i have when i was much younger . do u have any advice please ????

Welcome to Dreamviews, filemon! Hm, you say you can't curb your enthusiasm when you realize you dreaming? Do you mean that you have already realized you are dreaming during a dream? That would mean, you had a Lucid dream. And there is no other way around it, just to get less excided when you realize you are dreaming. It will get easier after you have more lucid dreams. Well, in either case, we'll be happy to help you with all your questions. Here is a DV Academy. Check it out to see, if there is a class you would like to participate in. Or just post your question or experiences. Happy dreams

The Dream Journal was a great advice Here is the next one, because I think it's important that you get to know this already. Don't just write your dreams down in the Dream Journal for the purpose of remembering, write them down and understand that every single detail you remember is a sign of awareness within the dream. So the more that you remember, the more aware you are. Also use the dream journal to analyze your attempts, for example: Is there something that might affect your chances of having a lucid dream? Like too late bedtimes or stress? Is there something I can do to fix those problems? Like going to bed earlier or stress relief meditation? By analyzing my attempts I managed to come up with this method when I was just a beginner! http://www.dreamviews.com/f15/if-you...ams-try-93005/ Even though I realized it myself, it already did exist xD Tibetan Lucid Dream Method. of course... ^-^ But my point is that by observing and analyzing your attempts you can progress much faster. And also remember that methods and techniques are good for you know, but later on you need to find a way for you to perform them naturally, that way you can make it a regular process. Sweet dreams Remember that if you have any questions, the Dream Guides are here to help, so don't heistate to ask!

My only advice is to take your time and enjoy the journey. Non-lucid dreams can be just as great as lucid dreams. If you are already having vivid, memorable dreams, you are on your way

[filemon]

ty robot butler , tbh ive had a good 4 or 5 days pass now without me being able to recall too much from my dreams , slightly disconcerting , i'm not sure what is hindering me , sometimes i get so excited at prospect of a lucid dream i cant get to sleep and proves counter active!! nonetheless i will continue to try , i wake about 6 hours into sleep to go back and dream but to no avail , i sleep with my journal next to pillow , im doin all i can just getting a bit frustrated. grrrrrrrrrrr!!!

[filemon]

loosing motivation sleeping pattern all askew and i cant seem to recall much , its been close to 2 weeks this is going on Are you keeping a dream journal? That would help with recall. How to dream journal when no recall Read DV threads and dream journals of other for motivation. Only you can fix your sleeping pattern. Good luck.

right getting back om track ,placing emphasis on reality checks , also recall improving ! i have been focusing on wbtb method .i wake up approx 5 hours after going asleep. i find when between sleep and awake - just before(or as) sleep paralysis takes affect ....... i seem to either have a FA or go into dream non-lucid or just wake up all together out of pure excitment !!!! slightly frustrated , however i will persevere . i was thinking of trying choline bitartrate , melatonine or vit b6 ??? does any1 have any experience with such things?????????? are they worth a go????
