hello to everybody. i am excited to have found this community of like-minded individuals, and i look forward to receiving advice and insight from anyone willing to give it.
i would say that i am a moderately experienced lucid dreamer. during the first 24 years of my life, i probably experienced 3-4 completely natural random ld's. Then i saw Linklater's film "The Waking Life", and it just seemed to spark something. After viewing, i had about 2 ld's that month. I wasn't doing a journal (i have always had outstanding dream recall) or RCs.
I was thrilled. 2 in one month was a huge accomplishment to me at that time. Then i read EWLD and i was completely blown away. I thought the book was absolutely excellent, although Laberge gets a little bogged down with all of the exercises, in my opinion.
Now my problem is dryspells. I will have periods where i will become lucid every night for 2-3 weeks straight. However, i also sometimes go as much as 2 months without a single LD! it is incredible frustrating. I know most of you will say that it is a problem of focus. I think that is definitely part of it, but i also think there is something more.
I hope to increase my LD frequency by being in this group and talking and thinking about LD daily. I look forward to meeting you all and receiving your feedback.
