Does it get easier?
I just had my first lucid dream last night after a couple weeks of avidly trying, and doing different techniques. I was just wondering, if after you have a lucid dream and you were actually trying to have one, does it get easier or more common? I mean, after you have your first lucid dream is it kind of like breaking a barrier and your subconscience realizes your dreaming more often or whatever? Or do I just have to keep working on it? It doesn't bother me doing RCs during the day, keeping a dream journal and trying new techniques, I'm just curious. :roll:

Keep up with what you're doing. But you're right, after the first one subsequent ones will come easier if you keep trying. Good luck.
-
It's pretty much both, like Squall let understand. It will get easier after the first lucid dream, but a fair amount of work is always needed.
If you learn to lucid dream, and for some reason stop practicing, you will most propably cease having them untill you start practicing again. That's what's happened to me, for instance.

I seem to have fallen in your foot steps at the moment Hate. After I had my first LD, I thought I would be ok for the next ones. So I stopped the journal and stuff, the results; never had a LD ever since. Glad I found this post cause I was beginning to feel desperate. Silly me :rolleyes:

Yeah it does get easier, its like a skill. The more you practise the easier and better it gets.
-
The key is to not get discouraged. With pratice and patience, it does get easier.. you may not have lucid dreams as FREQUENTLY as you'd like but you will have them.

Hey, I couldn't recall anything from the last 3 nights, what the heck? Ever since my first real LD, I feel like I've been punished, like I wasn’t suppose to cross that line, I know it’s weird, but I really feel that. Now, I may only be a LD newbie but for dream recalls, I'm a master. I usually wake up in the morning and remember at least 3 different dreams. Not being able to recall just one dream per night is very unusual, now 3 in a row. Is this normal?
Now I'm not a suspecious person but on top of that, these last 3 mornings have kind of been out of focus, to the point where I had to make several RCs to see if I was still dreaming. Things at work had moved, computers making weird noises, constructions on the way to work, even people acting weird, and a lot more similar stuff. Of course all the RCs checked out, but still weird :huh2:
Edited: Sorry to edit like this but people here are starting to creep me out even more. A guy that I barely know just got me a coffee, exactly like I want might I add. People here are using sex terms for cursing and doing weird stuff like taping on their desk, yes just like that. As I’m writing this, they’re even talking about dreams. If anything, this is at least a funny morning.

Ok.. someone cue the theme from the "Twilight Zone". :wtf:
Is is normal to have your dream recall slack off after a lucid dream.. well it has happened to me. Could it be that the first night you didn't recall made you stress out about not recalling and that just made things worse?
Your recall will return.. just give yourself some time and try not to worry about it.
As for the people creeping you out at work.. do you notice any "pods" laying around? :D
