Thread: Taking a break from lucid dreaming

Ok so, I have't had a LD in 2 weeks now, and I think I've been trying too hard. So I think I will just take a one week long break from LDing, I hope after the break I can put it all together again, and start lucid dreaming

Good luck. Maybe it is for the best if you just take a break and just relax your brain.

Well, while I'm not totally saying it's a bad idea (it could work for you), recall is the fish of the dream world. Leave it alone for a couple days and it totally dies off.

This.

Keep up your journalling, but just don't try to force a lucid dream

I always fail when I try to force them, it messes up my normal dreaming and recall something fierce.

Just tell yourself, you WILL have a LD again soon. Someday soon. And if it isn't tonight, then you'll be okay with that I always tell myself this.

Alright, I'll keep my journal up, after all I don't want to stop recalling 2 to 4 dreams per night, cause even when they're not lucid, I looooooooveeee my dreams .

I will report back when I decide it's time to start trying again, might give WILD a shot in 1 week, and start setting my alarms for WBTB in 1 or 2 weeks.

In my opinion you can never try TOO hard with lucid dreaming. Practice makes perfect... you may have just hit a small dry spell, or you're still having lucids, you're just not remembering them. If anything taking a break would be worse for lucid dreaming than trying too hard.

But give it a go if you want lol. Who knows, maybe it could help.

Cheers.
