Hey, pasQuale, since you’re the founder of this site, I’d like to ask: ¿How many LD’s you have every night on average? I’d guess that you’re obviously a very advanced lucid-dreamer. |
check my DJ for my LD's 
no, i don't have them every night. I have them now and then.

By the way, ¡congratulations on making such an awesome site for lucid-dreamers to go onto!  |
thanks

I agree with just about everyone, where most people fail at lucid dreaming (myself included) is usually the areas of motivation, willpower, etc.
The thing is, willpower waxes and wanes, so another tricky thing is finding the willpower to not give up when your willpower goes down.

That is so true.. One thing I've found which sometimes helps me to strengthen my willpower, is to reread my old DJ's, and especially the good ol' LDs. Usually I can still remember them clearly upon reading them, and so I try to imagine myself back in those dreams as vividly as possible. I always pick the LDs with the strongest emotions or most impressive events. While visualizing, I try to reconstruct the whole play of emotions and sensations, and this alone often sparks again my willpower to have another one of these good LDs. After I've done that, I usually return to my recent dreams and imagine myself becoming lucid in those or what I might do while lucid. If you do this a few times a day or so, there might be a good chance that willpower returns  Ofcourse only if you have the willpower to reread your old dreams and to do these visualizations

I like to do that to. I sometimes read my dream journal, but usually I like to read about other people's dreams on this site for inspiration. Usually that gets me nice and motivated

| The ‘Keys’ to Lucid-Dreaming |
| Posted: Wed 06 Jul, 2005 |
|
|
Patience, definately patience!!  many people have dry spells of no lucid dreaming, and bad dream recall, and you have to be patient through it!
Another piece of advice I'd like to give is let it come naturally. Don't force it...I've done that before! lol. If you force it, it just will not work, and you won't ld....

I've been having some very unusual dreams lately, and I've had one or two semi-lucid-dreams.
You know what? I really want to start working harder on this. I already have a screensaver on my computer that's called "Marquee" (on Win XP) and I put it to say "¿Ar ju džrimiŋ?" (to be weird), and if I ever see it say "Are you dreaming?", I'll know that I am! Plus, I normally perform a reality-check whenever I see the screensaver, to start getting myself in the habit. Now all I have to do now is get in the habit of doing reality-checks every time a wake up in the morning, because then'll turn almost all my false-awakenings into lucid-dreams! Yey! 
Current LD goal(s): Kill a giant snail monster with an arrow covered in salt

That's what I used to do. I used to have "ARE YOU DREAMING?" written on my wallpaper (desktop), so then whenever I saw it i'd RC! It's a good way to remind yourself to RC!!!

Hi Kenai, welcome to the forum! 
Yes, I suppose what you plan to be possible, though it requires much motivation and effort. About the quick guide, don't you find the tips in the LD4all main page are sufficient? What do you find is lacking?

Its not exactly lacking... i mean that page is great!
but for some (like me) it is a bit mutch to remember to think and do about i u know what i mean and ofcourse im motivated i mean ive gone lucid before and liked it but never made an effort to do more of it...
more like ive been going the dreams way.... not going "my" way.
But reading all this LD stuff is making me want to do this realy, realy bad.
 my biggest dream would be becoming able to have a second life while my primary one sleeps
EDIT: I know that it sounds crazy(or something) but I am motivated enough to try and if you realy try it does sound...
a little bit Logic, Right?
I have 60 years and propably even a 20 year period after that
I'm not so old yet(16+)so i have about all the time in a Life
I'll try it and see what happens after a month or so.
But it happend something wierd this day...
This morning all i rememberd from the night was the happy face of my little brother (on my fathers side)(im at my mothers house now) but about 30min-1h ago i rememberd more(took a nap) and i pictured that he was at my moms house playing his favourite game on my stationary computer... i havent used that for about a month(the game was FlatOut) i mean one whole day went and after 10 mins of sleep after dinner i had the same picture in my head but more of the dream...

Yeap is gonna be pretty good.I've thought of it many times and it's one of the reasons i try to have LD.It's like a book i've read about the samans of america-north or south- that could live mavy lifes in just a day through their dreams.I haven't tested a technique hard just because i don't know what one suits me.So i usually do RC's and try to use the one technique or the other.
Sorry for the offtopic but i had to say it.
In topic i usually what motivates me is to know what to see in the dream and try to have it-although i don't always- and not to be in the pressure from noone.I just try to do what i like..
P.s:sorry if there is not a meaning in what i say but i don't speak better English

well... for me that actually make sense cos i'm not so sencefull of myself... but damn im logic
(Back to topic)
i got to be a bear last night yay!!
but didnt do an RC (not an habit yet)
i allso had 2 half LD's this night
i realised that i was dreaming i both but woke up...
in one i realised that it was a dream when a cop car changed in to a moose(strange...  )
in the other a friend of mine was dead and(never born that is) a nother friend was living there instead...
that dream realising came from a Nokia 3510i with a cell phone cam(Yeah!! Right!!)
Now i have felt the power of LD's and this is something that i want to do now... Go on LD4ALL!!!

to stay motivated i try to read through some topics of this site, read my old dreams, LDs are off course the ones i like best to read
i am trying a new thing to become lucid that a friend from another forum(not a LD forum) told me had helped her.
I have written a "V" on my hand(stays for "vaken" vaken=woken) så the V helps me remember to do the RCs and i hope that i will soon look att the V in my dream and realize that im dreaming
