it has been a long time now since my last LD. I havent had many LDz but my last one was my second good one. After i had my second good ld i thought to myself. wow this is easy. But ever since i thought that i havent had one since. I have tried giving up all together but nothing has worked yet…
your trying to hard, you want it to bad. You are saying to yourself LDing is hard to do, and since it is a mental thing, you are making hard. Basically stop trying so hard, say if i say i can LD then I will. Intention is your greatest tool.
Keep trying though, the second you give up it becomes almost impossible.
Don’t think it it easy. KNOW it is easy. That’s the difference: if you only think it is easy, there’s a bigger chance that you’re fooling yourself by thinking something you actually don’t believe. But your sub-c can’t be cheated, so this all won’t help you very much. On the other hand, if you truly KNOW it’s easy, than also your sub-c knows this, and only that way you can succeed with this technique. How to know that it’s easy? You can do persistent RCs where you investigate the environment meticulously for about 15 minutes or longer, thereby visualizing the naturalness of being lucid. Feel yourself being purely lucid, and see the environment, people, objects and situations as dreamlike. This way, you can try to convince your sub-c of the obviousness of it. Hope this helps
