Oh hello! I'm spellbee2, you may recognize me as a moderator on the forum, as well as from DV Chat, the recent lucid competitions, and the DV podcast. So what am I doing here? Well, despite my experience, I've kind of hit a wall in my lucid dreaming that I've been struggling to overcome for almost 2 months. It might just be an extended dry spell of sorts, I don't really know. But what I do know is that it's increasingly getting the better of me and I'm quickly losing motivation. So having some accountability should get me back on track and back up to my previous lucid dreaming frequency (or hopefully even better than my previous).

So I'm 22, a junior software engineer from Florida. I've been lucid dreaming since 2012, and in that time I've had probably over 300 lucids (I didn't really start counting until 2 years ago). I've had success with just about every method at least once, but I'm deciding to stick with DILD, since all of my WILDs except maybe 5 were during naps, and with my new job I don't really have time for naps anymore, so I'd prefer to get good at something I can do overnight. My recall is doing fine at the moment - I can usually recall 2-3 dreams per night (provided I get to bed on time). My main problem is failing to stay aware during the day or perform RCs, although I'm doing a lot better at it than I was a month ago. I'm also trying to work on extending the length of my lucids, as last year the majority of my lucids were less than 5 minutes.

Short Term Goals:
- Practice ADA/Mindfulness regularly during the day
- Remember to stabilize in every lucid
- Summon my DG more often
- Get back to my old lucidity rate (1 every 2-3 nights)

Long Term Goals:
- Summon/create more persistent DCs
- Create and populate a persistent realm
- Get lucid every night

I guess that's it, anything else just ask. Looking forward to get back into lucidity.
