Gr8,

Yeah don't worry about short LD's - its going to happen. I have had 8 and 4 of them were mega short - like - I am dreaming - uhh Awake LOL but when you get the longer ones it is certainly worth putting in the time working on LDing - the long LD's are amazing.

Just work on doing a dream journal (improving your dream recall), doing reality checks (RCs) and trying out the techniques more - you got nothing to loose by trying them each night. I just had a good experience with FILD (Finger Induced LD) so that might be one you will find easy

Good Luck - keep going - I aiming for LDs on demand but need to have patience

Namaste
