I’ve been questing lucidity for a little over 2 weeks now, and at the beginning I was making some really good progress. The dreams I was having each night were many, and extremely vivid, as if they were a second life I was living whilst asleep. I really felt like it was possible to influence them as I felt so connected to them, even though I didn’t manage to achieve lucidity.
Now, I don’t quite know what’s happened. After a spell of completely dead nights where it felt like I hadn’t dreamed at all, I’ve had a few nights were I know I’ve had dreams but can only remember tiny fragments of one or two. These dreams also seem so very distant to me, as if they are old memories from years back, and not something present that I can influence.
Does any of that make sense?
Its weird, because on one of these nights where I couldn’t remember much at all, I’d awaken and feel like I’d literally slept like a log, with the brain capacity of a log to match, I realised a few minutes after awakening that I could remember something. This one thing I could remember was the most realistic thing I’ve ever dreamed. Is a little strange, it was someone kissing me, but it felt so real. That was right in the middle of this dry spell I’m having at the moment. Its very frustrating because I thought I was getting so close - I’m doing RCs everyday, and these past few days I’ve also been exercising a lot, so I’m very tired when I go to bed.
I don’t know what to put it down to, the only difference is that I’m currently on holiday and sleeping in an unfamiliar bed, but I doubt that’s the culprit.
