RE: Lucid Dreaming Challenge - Day 8 - The Dip
I tried lucid dreaming a while ago.
I had not great success with it but some. Most of the time I woke up because I was so shocked I was suddenly in control. From what I have read dreamstability is something to work on also.
For now I paused my lucid dream attempts but I will come back and try again.
Interesting read. I have read a lot of "self improvment" stuff etc. but never, as far as I can remember read about the dip. Good concept.
This is my second time trying lucid dreaming. When I first tried it a couple years ago I had the same problem that you had. Every time I recognized it was a dream it destabilized and I woke up. I think with practice and as you begin to gain lucidity more often it gets easier to not be so excited and keep the dream stable.
Yes, it is probably all about practice.
What kind of reality check are you using?
