Thread: My LDs come in bursts

I learned what LDing was a bit less than a year ago. I tried too hard to do it, doing all the fancy techniques like wilds and doing reality checks and keeping a journal, but having only a few lucid dreams in that time.

I gave up, and within a few months, i started having lucid dreams naturally. I will not have them in bursts, by which I mean Ill have from 2 to 5ish for a few days and then nothing for 1-4 weeks. Many nights ill have more than one each time, and on the nights during and surrounding my LD bursts, I always wake up after every 1 or 2 dreams.

Anyone have a similar experience or any thoughs to share? It would be nice to have LDs every night instead of just sometimes. I suspect writing my dreams down would probably help, but whenever I try i end up getting pages and pages in a short time, and I get lazy with it.

Very few people can have lucid dreams everyday. For me I just try to have atleast 2 a month. A good month, I have more than 4.

You don't have to write down your dreams, just as long as you can remember 1 or 2 a night. I usually record the ones that stand out or where I was lucid.

Good luck.

It does happen to just about anyone who really give up. I usually have an LD after I give up and I start back up again to LD. My observation of my dreams is that they deal in the past rather than the present so by giving up LDing it becomes part of history and I dream it eventually.

I'm like you. Dry spells (very annoying) and then whammy, three LDs in a single night or two or three days of lucid dreaming.

I've still not been able to find the trigger after years of trying.

Wow, this is EXACTLY what I have been experiencing lately as well. Had my first lucid dream about 3 weeks ago and had 4 that week and none since. I was beginning to think something was wrong with me and that maybe the lucid dreams I had were all in my head and never happened at all. Good to know others have experienced this as well!

This happens to me a lot too... I will sometimes have 2 or 3 lucid dreams in a row, or in one week and then nothing which can vary from a week to 4 weeks. Has anyone found any sort of correlation between what is going on when you get the lucid dreams and the difference (If any) when you don't? Its very frustrating isnt it!
