I agree with Checker666, inconsistent sleep schedule definitely disturbs LDs. I can partially relate this to my own recent dry spell. January was very strong for LD, then Feb was a complete misery, with only two semi-lucids where I barely participated, and another semi-L in March. I have read that if you are deeply preoccupied in your life, that tends to affect your dreaming and it sounds logical. I have tried not to worry about things so much, not to get over excited or agitated for whatever happens during the day, but my dream recall has gotten poorer. If I had to give an advice to myself and to you as well then:
- be patient and at ease, it will eventually come back
- try to rechannel some of your daily energy, the more involved in daily stuff your mind is, the less likely it will be that you will bounce back from a dream into an LD
- to reduce stress, meditation to calm agitation down would be great if possible, but also any game that brings calming pleasure, a nice movie that calms you down, relaxing music, chillout channels perhaps ?
- Stress: how many of our problems are really problems? Think of whatever's bothering you in retrospect. How many difficult times you have been through? How do your past worries seem now?
- the last one is checker's advice, a more regular sleep practice and this is what i have to emphasize for myself too
GL!
