gaining back confidence

The main issue I’ve been having lately is that I’ve lost confidence in my ability to LD, anyone have any fixes?

Maybe you could read other people’s LD in their DJ.

A much better idea is to read your own past LDs, this way you re-experience them again and so are closer to the feeling of being lucid.

If you haven’t had any LDs yet, then reading the big first LD topic would help to give confidence since it shows what is possible the first time you are lucid :smile:

Ive tried nearly everything and i have LD’d for a bout a year now, only acheiving low-level lucidity, though fairly frequently. Ive already seen all the possibilities and read othe rpeoples DJ’s My unconcious mind has given up on me since Ive been trying to LD for so long tho

you can walk around your daily life saying “I am a great lucid dreamer, and this is a lucid dream right now” over and over again, until you get frustrated at the redunancy of repeating it for hours on end.

then right before bed you just think the thought ONCE, and let it float there, as all the other thoughts compete to overpower it, and when you forget it, you repeat it again, this will help you create focus, without the annoyance of having to repeat

so when you do it in the day then, you will only need to do it for a few days, and then sometimes you can look and say “well, since this is a lucid dream right now, i can make this person levitate, and try to make them levitate” or t hings like that

but, do nice things, because, its bad for everyone if you imagine bad things, lesser so in dreams, and highly so in life :smile:

YOU GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

and! you get the same kind of people that you are, so if you become all angry, you run into all the other people who are, if you are super good at lucidity, then, that too… know what I mean?

this is the highest way I can think of right now.

excellent post, im definently gonna try that, tanx for the advice

I also tended to have relatively frequent, low-level LD’s. The dream would get fuzzy or detached and I would wake up quickly. The following may or may not make any sense: what you really have to do is realize that you don’t have to try. You are the god of your dream. Anything you do, think, or say will become true. It’s basically impossible to explain this: you’ll just have a quasi-epiphany at some point.
