My own problem I guess. I can at least try.
There is actually factual evidence. When you think it fires off neurons or something like that. The more you think about something, the easier it will fire off. I don't know the whole thing but it does come from signals in the brain.

As SilverBullet said, the subconscious doesn't know the truth. It believes any thought you think and works so make that happen.

This tutorial is very good, especially for people new to lucid dreaming as they don't understand the whole concept of belief until later. Lucid dreaming is all in the brain. All the techniques, they are all there to try and change your mind to realise you're dreaming one way or another, right? Maybe except WILD.

But remember that this isn't a quick fix like some threads about vitamins and food. This is something to work on with your mind. I'm busy with school at the moment so I haven't given it a real change and real work, but it's already gotten me lucid dreams and I plan on really going for it in the summer, with little other techniques. Maybe a WBTB each night and a dream journal. I truely believe this is the way to go with lucid dreaming. It makes perfect sense.
