Thread: Magic Gone?

I don't think the magic ever comes back because things have changed for good: the magic is that first taste.

To me, it's like when you have amazing memories of some place or activity or whatever then you go back to repeat the experience. It's not the same anymore because it wasn't the place you wanted to revisit, but the time, which of course is gone though the place remains.

Even so, you can still motivate yourself to continue to improve and Joe gave some excellent ideas!

On another note, I totally agree with reading other people's dream journals....there is nothing more boring than reading another man's dreams! However, keeping up an online journal is a way of motivating myself. I think simply because now and again someone makes the odd comment on it, whereas in real life I don't talk to anyone about dreaming. Online, I can share. Seems kind of contradictory considering what I just said, I know!

That must be why. I know exactly what you mean. When I first got into lucid dreaming I expected it to be, like I said before, an endless adventure every night. Since I was so uninformed on the subject, I was eager to learn more and more about it; To get better and better. Now that I know a good deal about it, there is no mystery in it anymore, simply the work I need to put into it to achieve my goal.

Just like adults yearn to be children again, I'm yearning to be a lucid dreaming newbie again : P

I think I've got the answers I've been looking for more or less. Thanks for the help everyone!
