Sudden Drop in Dream Recall & Quality

Quest for Lucidity
1

I’m looking for some help. My dream recall and overall dream quality plummeted out of nowhere back in May. Looking at my chart https://imgur.com/a/mLKyMIP you can see I was on a major upswing nearly four months of great quality dreams but it’s been a struggle ever since May.

I did everything I was supposed to do: reality checks, dream journal, WBTB, daily meditation, mantras, etc. But the quality started diminishing to the point where I tried different things each time.

In May, I tried taking a break and then came back to the techniques, but that didn’t deliver any results. Somewhere in July, I tried some schema changing so I wouldn’t have any subconscious beliefs blocking my ability to lucid dream, and that didn’t work either. My last attempt was the best of those three: I started using a mantra that goes like, “I don’t give a ■■■■ about lucid dreaming, dreams come to me naturally.” It was going well for a few weeks, but then it started to disappear just like before.

Oh no one can help you here… this is personal journey.

It’s your subconscious mind and it’s mean to protect.

With LD it’s no rules. Not like you go to the gym - put it work - get results, nope .

This is pretty normal tho, in some circles I heard dreamers called this something like “dream compensation” or something like that.

Basically there is a risk if you do too much too quickly and very good , it’s like you used it before refilling and you just don’t have any juice for a while. Best to do is shift focus and let go of control . You continue reality checks, reading , doing whatever practices but you need to chill for a bit. You can’t force this thing or you get kicked out , the harder you force the longer you out .
