Consistent Attempts

I have just realised something…

I recently had two lucid dreams, and both times were when I listened to a Brainwave Generator preset and then went back to bed afterwards. For a while I thought that this was the reason I’d had them, that it was this particular chain of events that had led to the LDs.

However, recently, after several days of not trying, I tried again, doing basically the same thing, and absolutely nothing happened.

That’s when I realised something quite important. It’s not so much the technique itself which you try, it is how consistent you are with your attempts. Both times I was recently successful, it was around a time when I was attempting every single night. I think this is the key.

The problem is, when I was making all those attempts, I was unemployed, so it didn’t matter so much if I then overslept the next morning. Now I have a job again, so I’m not sure it’s going to be easy. Maybe I should elliminate using the Brainwave Generator in the night, and just wake up in the night and do my technique? This would save time, and hopefully I would still get enough sleep if I maybe went to bed slightly earlier? And then maybe on some evenings I could do my sleep reducer early in the evening if I felt like I needed to catch up?

What do you guys think?

I just feel that I have to be attempting every single night because that’s the only time I’ve had any success recently.

Another thought…

Maybe I should be more disciplined with regards to going to sleep at night. Maybe I should make late night TV less of a priority, and instead, listen to a Serotonin preset on Brainwave Generator, to help me get to sleep okay. If I made a CD of it, I could listen to it on my CD player instead of my computer, and this would make it easier to go to sleep afterwards. I could work out the exact timetable of when I need to go to sleep, when I need to wake up the first time, when I need to wake up the second time…so that I make sure I can consistently attempt LDs effectively and still get enough sleep.

After all, when I do manage to have a LD, it’s well worth it, because it’s far more exciting than anything on TV…

Interesting… For me, I try the techniques, but then if I stop for a night, thats when I have LDs.

Ed case,

         Your another thought seems like your subconcious truely speaking with you. Only [b]you[/b] can teach [b]you[/b] how to initiate [b]your [/b][u]Lucid Dreams[/u].  :sly:
