I see. I think that in order to really get constant LDs, you have to practice some better recall. As soon as I started recalling more dreams, my LD count went from 5 a month to over 10 a month. Check out the dream recall compendium in the dream signs and recall sub forum. Practice all of them until you find out which ones help you and which ones don't.

-Night 5-

Could only remember one small dream, it wasn't even that good. I played a small game of Little Big Planet 2 irl and I dream about it, but I've been trying to lucid for weeks now and I've had no result

Oh well giving up wont do me any good

night 5!

had no luck until last night. i managed to get my body to fall asleep/SP during WILD! woop. it was only very light though, and i got a bit excited and i woke straight up again

oh well, after a long period of failure, it's starting to look up!^^

**djpatch999** · 12-16-2012 06:28 PM

Ahh Berto if you'd have just held on a little bit longer then you'd have managed a WILD!

**Sensei** · 12-16-2012 07:04 PM

Good job Berto! You almost had it! When you think about LDing try and imagine the amount of excitement that comes with it and imagine yourself calming down. This should help.

**Berto** · 12-16-2012 08:40 PM

I'll try it! Thanks for the advice

I feel like I'm getting closer and closer, an LD should come along any day now c:

**Sensei** · 12-16-2012 08:47 PM

Yeah, when DILDing at night I feel more and more aware each dream until I finally get it. I have been sick and not able to be aware during any of my dreams. It is annoying me. I can't seem to keep attention very well while sick.

I would imagine that you would get closer and closer to WILD in the same way. I have only had a few of those though.

**Lmrhone** · 12-16-2012 10:15 PM

Hey can I join? I know their are only like 2 days left but it'd still be fun! Oh yeah! Hey Brandon! Right now I was trying DILD but it kills my dream recall and almost all of my LD's have been through WILD or a WILD-like state.

**djpatch999** · 12-17-2012 12:25 AM

Lmrhone: Of course you can, as you've noticed though time is running very short haha. If your preferred method is WILD then use that

Don't force yourself to do something that kills your recall

-Night 6-

Recall has disappeared again, no dreams

**Sensei** · 12-17-2012 10:14 AM

Yo lmrhone. He changed the rules on page 2 so that you just have to get lucid. So go for your method of choice.

Good luck.

Oh yeah. I saw that but I was kind of unsure.

About my dream last night: It was THE single most boring dream I have ever had. I literally sat around at a dance being sad. Never. Again. I refuse to have another dream so horrible. It felt like an entire night adventure wasted. It was just horrible, terrible, devastating. I hope I forget it soon. Maybe the lucid dream tonight will hold will overcome that depressing dream.

-Night 7-

Recall still disappeared, no dreams remembered.

and that's the final night for me! To everyone else finish up your week and document any successes. Thanks to everyone for taking part and congratulations to those who managed to have a lucid dream. For those who didn't; keep trying, you'll all get there soon enough. I do plan to hold another 1 week challenge soon but it may have to wait until after Christmas since things are getting really really busy for me now. I hope you've all enjoyed the challenge as much as I have and special thanks to those who helped beginners in this thread; BrandonBoss, Oceandrop and Wishfulthinker really helped me out when I wasn't too sure myself or wasn't near my computer

So if I don't put another one up before the 24th/25th have a very merry christmas all of you

For those of you that have just started like Lmrhone I feel like I should give you the full 7 days especially since you joined so late

I'm intrigued to read of the outcome of the 7 days for you

Thanks again all

~DJ

Good job everyone! I would recommend looking through your week's post and looking for things you can work on, things you did well, and things you enjoyed. Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas!

Thanks djpatch for having these and giving me something interesting to read.
