 |  Lucid dreaming dry spell?
Ever since I started lucid dreaming, I've been getting at least one lucid dream a month (usually through noticing I'm in a dream while dreaming) but ever since my summer vacation started, I have been having dreams but no lucid dreams. I find that weird because I have been focusing on lucid dreams and my dreams more than I was when attending college last semester. Maybe it's because of lack of stress but is it typical to go through a lucid dream dry spell after having success with lucid dreaming?

You're not a robot, right? Meaning your dreaming styles will change from time to time. If you want to dream more lucidly then set about the triggers for that: Dream journals, dream keys/symbols, visualizing a lucid routine, intention to lucid dream every night. And don't -force- yourself to dream anything. Just trust that you're doing everything you can to become aware of your dreams and patience is the only thing needed now. |

Yeah, you're right, I should just do what I did when I was having more frequent lucid dreams and I know it will come back, it just comes down to patience now.

Zwynd's advice is excellent. I've gone through dry spells too. At one point I was having multiple lucid dreams per night, and then I went weeks without a single one. There are some ways to "cheat." The easiest is to take a short nap 2 hours after you've gotten up. You'll fall asleep quickly and the short distance between awake and asleep helps you remember that you're dreaming. Polyphasic is where I first learned to lucid dream. Every sleep on polyphasic is a nap. 100% of my naps resulted in lucid dreams while I was doing it. I managed to stay on it for a little over a month, so I had roughly 200 of them in one month! Sometimes I ask myself in dreams "am I dreaming?" I realized that 100% of the time I ask that question, I am, in fact, dreaming. So I've put that into one of the, I guess you could call it affirmations, that I do throughout the day. I just tell myself a few times from morning to evening "if I ask myself if I am dreaming, the answer is always yes." That's also led to an increase in becoming lucid. Hope you get over your dry spell soon. Don't sweat it because you will! |
