Thread: Having trouble realizing I'm dreaming\

For how long have you been trying? How "set" is your mind on getting Lucid? You need a goal to strive towards. Visualize achieving the goal and get excited over it. It's hard to keep motivation in the beginning but trust me, after your first Lucid you'll have an easier time getting Lucid and it WILL come soon. Aslong as you believe in yourself.

Tried WILD'ing btw?

What technique are you using, MILD? Don't expect to get it right away, it'll take some practice. Try reading through some tutorials on here and learning about the different "tools" you can use. There are much more in depth ways of achieving lucidity than merely thinking about it before going to sleep. That way's pretty much a gamble. You can increase your odds by thinking about it throughout the day as well, not just before bed.
