I’ve read up and watched some videos about lucid dreaming and I’m quite intrigued about it and plan to practice some techniques as well to hopefully have more WD favorable dreams.
As strange as it may seem, I did in fact break my streak a couple days ago. It was intentional and I don’t feel bad about it. With that said, I have zero intention to stop ABing and I plan to continue.
Maybe I can get a WD by the end of the month but I shall have to wait and see.

WDs for the win!
I think sometimes an MB session can demonstrate the contrast between MB-letdown cyles and the kind of natural controlled horniness and WDs that long term AB brings, especially after 125 days of AB.
With just one MB session, past experiences of members at WDF show that it may not have that much effect.
As someone who 'toyed' off and on with both MB and AB/WDs for years, I'd say pick the better way and stick with it. It was quite exciting when I made the decision to totally quit MB.
Becoming a non-MBer can actually be more fun and sexual than being and MB addict, not less. Different and better. Seems like you've discovered that at a young age.
As someone who rarely remembers my dreams, even apparently wet ones, I should look into this technique.
It's interesting to see that one of the top lucid dreams people want is lucid sex dreams. It would make sense that MBing would make that more difficult if not impossibe to achieve. And of course once a guy has pretty regular sex dreams (whatever that consists of for that person), he would have little interest in MB.

Good luck in your next WD soon.
I agree with that Tex, you summed it up well.

That’s a large portion of why i want to try lucid dreaming lol.
To give a brief update, I think I’ve hit a flatline now that my first week is over. Last couple of days I’ve had mediocre MW to say the least. My mood has also been quite iffy, even upon waking up, likely due to various forms of entertainment I’ve been trying to eliminate and restrict.
I’ve been trying one of many lucid dreaming techniques and last night it felt like i was drifting between being awake and asleep. I don’t remember any dreams though. As a result I don’t think I slept to my best potential. I’ll have to keep experimenting with different techniques.

I may not remember many dreams, but I typically wake up with full MW. No desire to MB though, since I prefer the non-MBer lifestyle.
Maybe give your brain/body some time to get back to full AB mode. Try sleeping naked.

Porn? Old Gilligan's Island reruns? Chocolate pudding? Hopscotch?
All of the above?
I had a near miss last night. I was a little disappointed when I realized I was dry after the sort of erotic dream but I was hard to say the least and found a bit of pre later on. I tried so hard to go back to sleep and try one of the lucid dreaming techniques but it was too late in the morning to fall back asleep.
I had been horny yesterday but didn’t engage with anything and let it be. Hope that can continue on today as well.
Tonight I’m going to try the lucid dreaming technique I tried, but replace a non erotic dream with an erotic one. Hope it works out.
I’ve noticed my WDs tend to occur on nights where I go to sleep early but it’s odd how inconsistently I feel tired at night even though my nightly routine is the same. I might consider taking a small magnesium supplement before bed as it’s beneficial for sleep and testosterone.
