I am a guy who can sometimes be a bit forgetful, and can have my head in the clouds every now and then - I was just wondering if this makes lucid dreaming more complicated than necessary?
It’s nothing extreme or anything, I can definitely remember things if they are important, but I guess I forget things just a tad more often than others, so maybe this will affect lucidity as well?
I have had a few successful lucid dreams in my life (I haven’t really tried that much though, can’t seem to wanna focus on it too much for some reason ), but I’ve also had those nearly successful lucid moments when I realize it must be a dream, but then just don’t really do anything about it.
i dont think it will make it more complicated unless it lowrs ur DreamReacal
From my own experience I can say that it definitely helps to keep a DJ, think about dreams, ‘work’ with dreams, reading a lot about it… it kind of creates an anchor in your subconscious.
I noticed that when I had 2 very VERY obvious hints to my DJ in a ND just a few days after I started it. I guess everything which makes you more focussed on dreaming in general could help you remembering better.
Just don’t overdo it, I wouldn’t want to be so focussed on dreams that I forget the importance of RL stuff.
I’m also sometimes absent-minded and I get very easily distracted.
I don’t think that it lowers your chances to have a LD in general though, but it’s very hard for me to concentrate on things like LL and doing RC’s regularly…
I’m absent minded too, and like Leijona, I always forget to do RC’s and practice LL… Well, I put a reminder inside my wallet to remember me to ask a critical question, so I ask myself if I’m dreaming or not sometimes. But I tend to get distracted more easily than other people too, which makes MILD somewhat hard.
