Thread: But why cant I get Lucid?

Couple comments in your post made me think there's a few things you could fix.

If you can pull off clear dreams but not lucid ones, the problem is awareness. Going to sleep late can make it so your mind can't get enough rest to work like its awake, which is what you want in a lucid dream. Try getting 8 hours a day at least with wake back to bed after 5-6 hours.

If you play a lot of video games or watch a lot of television, this can affect your awareness. Many people go through their days in a tunnel vision; looking, seeing and experiencing everything in the same way. Take a day to 'slow down' and look around you (ever have a teacher that made you stand on your desk to see how everything just looks different from other perspectives?). Really study how objects just 'be', and think 'if this is a dream, what would i do' (first thing should be a rc ).

Try these suggestions and I'm sure it'll make a difference!
