I'll tell you guys, my attention and focus have been pitifully low pretty much the entire duration that we've been keeping track (which seems counter-intuitive if you think about it). I've haven't been doing the things that [seem to] work to get my LD count up. Those things are: keeping up with my paper DJ, 'real' WBTB and getting sufficient sleep.
The sleep time comes and goes (somewhat normal, I guess). But I feel like I've been incredibly lazy about the rest. However, lately (past two weeks or more), I've been having some very vivid dreams and nearly every night in that time has yielded only 1 or 2 dreams. But those dreams are ones which I re-enter and continue, making them very long. Some may even be counted as multiple dreams even though I've been counting them as being only one.
So my stats may be somewhat misleading with respect to the number of non-lucid dreams. The real numbers may be 3-4 times higher in reality. It's really a tough judgement call for me as to how to count them. Sadly, my lucid count is accurate, having only 1 semi-lucid (I think that's what it is).
I don't know why I've been so lazy lately. I'd like to blame my busy, over-worked life but, that's always been the case for me. Perhaps the biggest aspect of attention that I really need to concentrate on again is my DJ, paper and here.
And I need to get my lazy-ass up when my alarm goes off and stay conscious for more than 10 seconds. That's the perfect strategy for when I'm trying to re-enter/continue a dream and it makes for very vivid, cool dreams. But it's useless when I want to do so lucidly. I love LDing very much; how can it be that I have so little motivation to actually do it right now? And I've been missing all kinds of in-your-face dream signs.
