Thread: Help?

Remembering Dreams and recording them aren't a problem for me, and I want so badly to take the next step and improve my Lucid dreams but I feel stuck! The First night I decided to start actively trying to lucid dream I was met with Success, probably because of all the reading and research I did throughout the day. Lucid dreaming has certainly been on my mind a lot, but seems to escape me when I'm asleep. Waking up in the middle of the night isn't a problem for me, 'cause I have a one year old. This actually helps me remember my dreams, and before going back to sleep I try to focus on wanting to Lucid dream... but haven't been having any luck. Perhaps its the stress of moving and I have a lot going on in general *shrugs* I could really use some pointers! Thanks

A good habit to get into doing every night is a lucid count up or a count down, this is how it works.

you can just say the numbers and the "im dreaming" in you head.

(breathe in) "99", (breathe out) "I'm dreaming"
(breathe in) "98", (breathe out) "I'm dreaming"

Or you can do the same thing just start at 1 and make your way up to 100. If you do that every night for awhile you will start to notice a big difference.

Well you haven't been trying for very long, I would recommend just relaxing, realize it may take some time! In the mean time, are you doing reality checks and look for your dream signs? These can really help.
