How many LD's do you average a month? EVERYONE REPLY
Lets get a consensus going... just state on average
for me they come and go in spells, I can during a good run have around 3 or 4 per week, if I have one in a night and wake up I often can guarantee the next dream will still be lucid when I fall back to sleep, its not uncommon for me to have 3 or 4 per night if I keep waking up.
I sometimes have hot spells that last for weeks even months, then can go months without having any except for he odd one or two maybe on the off occasion during dry spells.
Have been a lucid dreamer for over 20 years they where most explosive in my mid to late 20's around 10 years ago where I went through a hot spot that lasted years.
now days I'm 36 and its like I said before I can go weeks on end having lucid dreams near every night, then months on end without having any, am currently on a very dry spell that has lasted nearly 2 months in which time I have not had any, except for a one off occasion I had a few weeks back, the worst dry spells I have had have only lasted up to around 6 months or so, so this is not really that unusual yet, I haven't really been trying hard to force lucid dreams recently to be fair, I may start pulling a few meditation like tricks I know if I feel like dreaming again soon, but for me personally having suffered from sleep paralysis for many years in the past and having a history of both wild nightmares and lucid dreams, sometimes a break of dreaming anything is quite a nice unexpected change and a good way to relax, I dont really feel like sleep is a refreshing when I can't really help but dream rapidly, and I often wake myself up during dreams so not dreaming often means a better nights sleep for me personally.
I'm sitting at about 10 nights. I usually have 3-5 those nights so i'd have to say around 35 a month, give or take.
Lately about once a month.

It varies massively but I'd estimate between 5-15 per month, for most months

Holy Moly, 35? Are you just natural at em or do you do anything in particular?
currently 20.8. Also, last month was reallllllly lousy for me.

the wake back to bed works best for me, but i use lots of different techniques. some work some don't. the reason its so high is because every night i have a lucid dream i always have more directly after it... i have my own technique i do a couple times a month that never fails. Alcohol and Galantamine
Rounding up or down to the nearest whole number:
ZERO, sadly....
You should make a poll. I don't think it's too late and you can edit your first post to make one, I think.
I would say 10 lucid dreams per month. 1 of which is a WILD, the other 9 are DILDs. That's a rough average, but I'd say it's quite accurate overall.
The longest dry spell I've had in the past 3 years since starting to lucid dream regularly was 2 weeks. It's very rare to go a week without a lucid dream for me.
If I have 2 the same night, or dream chain, I count that as one. Some night's I'm lucid a lot, and other nights, nada. So to be more accurate it's about 10 nights a month I get a rash of lucid dreams. I wonder if there's a cream for that?

What's point 8 of a dream? :P (No need to answer. I'm being a goof and know you were just making an average... or is there something you're not telling us?!) :o
It hugely various for many of us so it would be hard for us to answer on a poll.
For myself right now.. about one per month but that's only cause I haven't been trying to have one which is going to change from today as I'm going to half seriously get back into it. (If I get really serious wanting a LD I add other techniques I do, which I just cant be bothered doing right now).
When I'm working at this I can have LDs every night and every day too during an afternoon nap... maybe over 90 per month. This is what I mean about huge variations, for many of us it can depend on what we are doing at the time and if we are really trying for them.
Wow, I didn't know you were down to that few! But, wouldn't the average of months with 1 and months with 90 (assuming you get them roughly equally) be around 45?

I'm not a natural at LD so I have to work at this to have one (unless I've been doing the work for a while without breaking from it and then I can naturally spontaneously get a lot of them). I never had a LD in my childhood. It's all come to me with using techniques and the better I use the techniques I know how to use, the more I can have.
I would never average it out in that way as either I'm having a few or a lot.. it wouldn't be very common at all for me to be having 45 a month. My LD follows on of the following patterns (depending on what Im doing at time)
- One every 3-4 months (if I'm doing nothing and haven't worked on it for a while and are in a bad patch with spontaneous LDs)
- 1 every couple of weeks
- 1 or 2 every week
- around 7 a week
- 10-15 per week (this is where 45 a month would fit but I'm not in this often)
- and from there jumps to something I really hate .. too many LDs with my mind not getting enough rest. I can go to all night LDs. This made me give up LD for years as I lost my ability to sleep normally for a while due to this. One long LD a night is plenty for me and I prefer to keep my LDs down to that (and will often stop my LD practices if it starts getting too many. I gave up doing LD practices for maybe 6-7 years due to that and become scared I would never unawarely be able to sleep and get proper brain rest again).
So to give people impression I often usually have 45 a month.. I feel is kind of wrong.
Also nothing is roughly equal. I may go to doing a lot of LD stuff for a few years so getting 10-15 or far more per week.. to not working at it at all for the next 5 years so hardly having any (I didn't even have my first LD till I was in my 20s.. I'm in my 40s now). ........
Cause I'm back working on this cause I entered a LD competition yesterday which I'd like to win :) so now have more motivation to have one (I have a lot of life stuff going on so need a ton of motivation to put time into my LD practices), I suspect I'll be having 1-2 LDs per week (maybe more) by about one months time.
I've tried to WILD twice past couple of days and both times got soo very close (found myself elsewhere but wasn't quite there eg last night suddenly saw another room in my house but I wasn't there in feel... so more like remote viewing, morning before I saw myself walking on a flat plain of snow, walking all hutched when I tried to WILD). I'm "just" missing getting LD (thou the time before these two attempts, which was last month, I did trigger a good LD off). These LD misses in last couple of days are interesting to me as something has obviously changed as usually my dream sight is my last sense to come in and I very rarely ever get HI. (by rarely I mean very very rarely.. only about 5% of my LDs have had any HI).
I used to be successful with WILD 50%-60% of time I tried without it mattering when I tried it so do have a little work to do to get that back. (I developed good WILD ability with my last fad I went through with LD). (Maybe this time I'll be working more around HI???). My first 10 years of LD experience were all using what I've seen called DILD (Dream initiated lucid dreaming) and chakra/energy raising techniques.
Then when I discovered WILD (after many many years break of LD due to the having too many LDs made me stop), turned out I loved WILD so was just doing that but having hardly any spontanous DILD. I'm looking forward to what this time getting into it will bring esp if the HI becomes common. I need to stay motivated for at least a few months or so to find out.
If anyone remembers math class, an average is not always a single number. It's a good idea to consider the median and mode, not just the mean. It provides more accurate data. :geek:
Taniaust1 certainly supplied enough.

Since my dreams go in circles I'lll report the number in radians. So 3.2 radians per week. :D

That's why we all like you Tani! It makes you more human than most of the 'bots' on here. ;)

If lucid dreaming is a particular brainwave perhaps it should be measured in Sin and Cosine. (My math is limited, but just felt like one bad joke deserves another absolutely horrible one! :mrgreen: )

Thanks, it's good to hear that I aren't sending those here who are not insane yet insane. :D
No I am the one who's driving people crazy to the point of the users hating me, not you. I mean, how could they not hate me for doing this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpvDt-1gSSU
As for my average Lucid Dreams, I would prefer not to answer. Why is that? Because out of regard to this arrogant user named Lucidity Master who made newbies feel really bad about their abilities, constantly bragging about his ability, it only would make me feel more guilty talking about it when some people are trying so hard to Lucid Dream on their own. I don't believe level of skill in Lucid Dreaming really matters anyways. It is what you do and how you enjoy your Lucid Dream that counts. Until an invention comes out that eventually does allow us all to Lucid Dream every night, let us take what we can get and enjoy every bit of it.
Don't be ashamed to admit you lucid dream almost every night, Nesgirl, as I suspect. You are NOT bragging and are very helpful to new comers. You have a low self-esteem and beat yourself up all the time, but believe it or not, many people here actually do like you, and you've made an overall positive impact on this site.
Sometimes we have to rein you in when you start dancing like Garfield, but who doesn't love Garfield when you get to know him?
Just like I told Tani, when people talk a lot on this forum, you get to know them, and it's no longer just 'words on a page', but you people become more 'human'. Dare I say, 'friends'?
(So off topic, sorry, but it had to be said!)

He got deleted by the moderator and who could take him seriously but himself

Way to go on a tangent with me. :lol:
Tangent. I get it. (We're probably the worst comedians of all time!)
We're going way off tangent now, and have digressed. Sorry, people. :|

I second what HAGART said, you shouldn't feel embarrassed if you lucid dream at least once a night or more. It's not a competition anyway and people are just asking for interest. If someone feels jealous that's their own issue.
Having you on this site does make it more interesting :) (After our bad start, I unblocked you a while ago if you haven't noticed).
I have about 3 LDs per month.
BTW, I hit LD no. 50 last night (and 51st as well) so hooray for me :v
