      In a sense yeah, because I used to fap alot before the challenge :O Will try again. Starting the challenge again tomorrow, will try to keep focus on lucid dreaming! Thank you!

      Good luck - for me, the first 3-4 days were the worst.

      Welcome aboard! You should start noticing the benefits after about a week. Better vocal range, better socialisation skills, better libido, more self-confidence, etc.

      The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary.

      No sailor controls the sea. Only a foolish sailor would say such a thing. Similarly, no lucid dreamer controls the dream.
      Like a sailor on the sea, we lucid dreamers direct our perceptual awareness within the larger state of dreaming.

      Definitely more interest from women. That could just be from me now gazing and smiling at most women I walk past though lol. When I reflect on this process, fair enough.... I do feel like a remarkably different man. That totals at around 45 'sessions' I've abstained from now.

      I've lost count, how many times have you attempted this challenge?

      I'm not abstaining on purpose but I think I'm on day 9.

      Are you going to attempt again? Strike the iron while it's still hot.

      Not really a lot of interest to stop discharging but I'll try it for the scientific aspect, want to see if it actually helps with lucid dreaming. And there's a little curiousity if it's going to be hard at all. I'm on day 2 and... as long as I don't think about it on purpose I'm bothered by nothing.
      By the way, the recent weeks I had a "healthy" discharge level of about 2,5 times a day.
      I have no real target I'll just do it as long as I see fit, but over a week might be good to see results on dreaming. If in this weak and maybe the few days after I have at least 4 lucids and around 115 dreams it was a success for dreaming (unless it becomes hot again, then I'll have to reduce the numbers).
      Wolfwood and Alyzarin like this.
      Personal Records so far: Max lucids per day: 2 | Max lucids per week: 4 | Max lucids per month: 8 | Max dreams recalled in one night: 17
      Longest lucid dream: ~35min | Highest flight: zoomed out of common existence [WTF?] | Fastest speed: FTL | DILD/EILD/DEILD [X] | WILD/VILD [X] | MILD/FILD/HILD [ ]
      Interested to know how I got 17 dreams in one single night? And how I think I still could Improve? Check out my new and improved Dream Recall Compendium: The Dream Recall Compendium

      Day 16/17 - So, chatted to a girl in a clothes shop. Exchanged numbers, and now meeting for a drink Thursday night. I blame this on abstinence.... my interest was obvious.

      Relating directly to the challenge, it's bloody hard in the morning....

      No not that, you dirty fiends, I mean it's difficult to not do it. On dreams - my dreams are certainly more surreal and nonsensical, which is a nice twist. Wouldn't say any noticeable increase in vividness or lucidity....I'll have to keep observing.

      Hard. (Still couldn't resist. >w<)

      I actually just failed the challenge and then had one of the most nonsensical dreams I've had in a long time. Interesting....
