Thread: Getting discouraged.

Greetings,

I feel like I'm getting no where.

I've been trying to lucid dream since I signed up here at DreamViews (1 month and 1 day). So far I've been somewhat unsuccessful I've woken up in sleep paralysis once before and have been able to drift in and out of sleep paralysis once seconds after... that was about 1 week after I signed up.

When I started out with the WILD method sleep paralysis was a very real thing. I mean I could feel the different stages coming on. I'm sure most of you know what I mean -- if not, all of you. I could really feel a strong twitching feeling in my toes, feet, legs, fingers and so on. Once have I been able to attain full body SP but no further from there. I make sure I am tired enough at night. I longboard a distance of 14.8 kilometers almost every other day. Still, I have had no real success.

I've read a lot on most of the techniques, the DILD and WILD methods in particular (including KingYoshi's WILD technique). I've also read the FILD, CWILD, WBTB, ADA (KingYoshi's DILD technique) (the CWILD technique is not of much use for me as I cannot sleep if I drink a caffeinated drink before bed). I got further with FILD method really but so far haven't done much with it as it takes a very long time to do (in my case). I've contemplated taking full days on which I am free and doing reality checks the entire day -- I haven't done so due to a lack of motivation as I am just so discouraged at the moment.

Okay that's enough writing for now I'll check back later. Thank you for reading.
