Does lucid dreaming get easier?

Quest for Lucidity General Lucidness
1

I’m wondering, does lucidity become more common with experience? For example, does having a lucid dream lead you to more easily realize that you are dreaming next time? I have a lot of lucid dream experiments to do, and two lucids a month is not gonna cut it. :confused:

I can of course only talk from experience but i would say yes! I tried for almost a year with no real success but now feel I’ve finallu found my groove so to speak haha and have had 3 in the last 2 weeks that came naturally! Hope that helped and good luck!

i think that more lucids you have, the easier is the dream world for you to recognize.
here’s something you should do: the next lucid dream you have, look around you and try to recognize as many dream signs as possible: for example what does the sky look like, how do you feel, what is not normal in the environment, etc. when you wake up, write those things down, so you remember them, and then, in your next dreams, when you see those ‘strange’ things, you will easily recognize it’s a dream. worked for me :smile:

Yes you should by finding what gets you to LD and practicing it often.

2 lds a month is more than i have…I’ve been around here for years and i still get them rarely… But i sometimes stop trying for long periods…but yes…the more you do it, the more you’ll have…just be patient

I think it depends on your circumstnces and physical health. For example, when I was homeless, I rarely had lucid dreams. But before and after I was homeless, I had them more frequently.

Hi I thought I’d chime in. More in a role of guinea pig than anything.

I started reading LD guides and writing a DJ 5 weeks ago, in the hope of being able to LD, have had great confidence that I would from reading the forum topics, and did last night, very short and not very vivid, but I definitely had some sort of control, and in the 2nd very clunkily started out on my first LD goal. I feel I’ve now broken the ice and that it will hopefully become easier, I know I need to improve my conciousness as the dreams where quite hazy and I wasn’t thinking very clearly at all. I’ve read that doing simple sums can help along with engaging the senses. So I will make my goal to do some sums whilst feeling the texture of the ground or something close by.

I’d like to say thanks to LD4all for the guides and the great topics I’ve read that have shown me that LDing is possible to learn. As of the time before taking a dream journal and knowing any techniques (I think the first was a MILD and the 2nd a WILD), I had very little dream recall, maybe a few snippets, but rarely anything very vivid, and am very happy that I’ve broken the LD ice and have much better recal, I now have about 2-4 dream scenes in better detail than before and last night was a best yet of 5 :grin: .

If having that first few seconds of LD where I just stood in a stairwell and thought ‘I’ll clap my hands and listen to the echo’ and felt the clap and heard the echo has shown me anything, its shown me that with a bit of effort (not a great deal in the grand scheme of things), with the great advice on the forums and the belief that it is easy, it really is easy to have LDs.

I’m looking forward to future LDs and hope that by the aplication of logic to my dream diary I will be able to LD every time I dream if I choose. That analysing what made the LD not complete, be it the vividness or length, and the application of existing techniques or tricks of your own device, can cut out those reasons why it ended or was otherwise not complete will undoubtedly help achieve the holy grail of a well earned long LD every night :cool: .

To anybody yet to have that first LD, just be confident, it WILL happen. I reckon confidence is key, obviously I’m no expert :tongue: . If you feel frustrated like you know how to but just can’t get that first to really get a handle on what this LD thing really feels like, just relax it will happen. Until it does, do what you can and believe, and once it does, be happy it has. Then just find what works best, what makes your dreams tick, what is it that makes you think ‘aah’ in your dream whether its RCs or MILD or however you get it, and then take your time to really make the dream what you’d hoped, don’t worry about it ending, there’s always tomorrow night and anything is possible :content: !
