Hey guys!
I'm Kate, I started lucid dreaming a few years back, I had a long break and recently I've been starting over with a new approach.
When I first got introduced to the idea of LD I found it very easy to achieve, but unfortunately pretty unpleasant.
I wasn't at the best state of mind back then, was very stressed and somewhat depressed and my lucid dreams turned out to be filled with a lot of negativity. The problem wasn't even that they were nightmares, but I had this constant feeling of anxiety. I did my research and knew that I could fight this kind of responses but decided to take a break instead.
Since then I've been having spontaneous LDs from time to time, and with time the anxiety started to vanish.
Lately I've been lucid dreaming spontaneously 2-3 times a week and it's been amazing so I decided to jump into it again. My mind is in a very good place now and I can finally enjoy the experience.
I've learnt that reality checks work best for me, actually the only thing I need to do to have LDs on regular basis is nose plug technique.
I've also noticed some very interesting patterns I'd like to share with you guys so I'm looking forward to joining discussions here.
