I have been trying to LD for a little over 3 months. I've gotten a little obssessed with it and think about it a lot. I've been minimally successful (off hand, 6 or so LD's). It is fun, and I enjoy DV, but I don't feel like I'm doing great at it; I really don't have much control at all. However, I've noticed that I have improved other aspects of my life. I have become much more disciplined, and certain things that I have been working on literally for years without improvement have suddenly become much more easy to do.

Has anyone else noticed something like this? Have I just distracted myself with LD or have I actually caused a real behavioral/outlook change due to thinking a lot about my dreams and engaging my subconscious? How do people use LD to improve themselves? Having fun at night is a good enough goal, but have other people really changed aspects of their waking lives with LD as well?
