Lucid Dream Help

[dakota8595]

I've had a dream journal going for about a week. The first 4 days I was getting at least 5 dreams per night that I could remember and document, the last 2 days I only got about one dream remembered throughout two days. Now I don't remember them at all, am I doing something wrong? PS. I'm a beginner and reading "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming", I know techniques and benefits but it seems to not to work for me.

Just keep it up, you will have peaks and valleys. It simply takes time. Are you just trying at night? Have you tried in the morning.

Like WCF said, just keep at it. Keep writing them down, re read them, think about the ones you have remembered. It all helps subconsciously. But having no recall for a while is also completely normal.

Sometimes when I wake up with no dream recall I just lay there quietly and reflect. Sometimes an image comes, sometimes just a feeling about the dream (like an impression). It helps me to grasp onto those fleeting images/feelings and then more of the dream comes back. Just try no to become discouraged.

I can't sleep in the day ever only at night, I'm not too sure why but whenever I sleep in the day (which is extremely rare) I usually have nightmares

Update: The past two nights I've had the most vivid dreams yet, I think I might have even been lucid in one but only for a second or two. It's interesting because when I stopped worrying or thinking about it happening it does.

Very early mornings before it gets light. Wake up at 3 am and go back to bed whine meditating. You might be surprised at what you may discover.

Most things related to spiritual/consciousness development follow a sine wive-- peaks and valleys like WCF said. You have the honeymoon phase where everything is great, followed by an arid phase (this could be a "Dark Night" if you are working on heavy spiritual stuff), and then another peak, but it's more mature and stable than the honeymoon phase.

I hope this makes sense...

The best advice is, just keep practicing.

It helped me to become very conscious while awake. Know your surroundings and their details at all times. Note when something is out of place. Think about the things that seem odd and why. Being very aware while you are awake will help trigger you to notice things that seem odd or out of place while you dream, opening the lucid state.

Vitamin B6 helped me lucid dream better, but don't take too much... read up on what the safe amounts are.
