Thread: Taking A Break

Hello everyone,

Over the past 8-10 months, I have lost my ability to have steady lucid dreams (more than 1 per month.) I do not do RC's anymore, I have lost almost all motivation. I tried to get it back, and failed. The only thing I do now is write in my DJ (mainly because I can't stop from routine.) Even that is half-hearted, and I certainly don't wake up in the middle of the night to write them down.

Should I take a break from lucid dreaming, and then maybe pick it up later with renewed passion? Or should I keep going despite my lack of motivation? If I take a break now, I'm afraid it will be permanent.

If you dont care to lucid dream then don't.... why ask other people what you want to do? we can't read minds.

true.

although i would suggest not stopping

Before I offer any advice I'd ask what it is that used to appeal to you about LDing and what it is that no longer does? I think this is a common problem, one that I certainly had.

I took a long break from LDing just because I was busy with other things in life. During that time I had a few DILDs though and they were even more awesome because they were a novelty at just once every couple of months. Eventually I missed being able to do anything I wanted and to try things I couldn't in waking life and I was drawn back to it with a renewed passion. Look inside yourself and see if it's something you want to continue.

Ask yourself if you really want it, and set your goals from there. Good luck.
