Hello nettlebeast,

I even tried the WBTS method a few times (on nights when I didn't have college, that is!) and I went back to sleep determined to have an LD, and ended up just slipping off to sleep without remembering it, same as any other time.
If you are falling asleep too easy, then stay up longer, the amount of time depends on you, but it's usually between 10-30mins.

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I seem to lucid dream no matter what I try or how resolved I am to LD?
Things are often easier as a kid don't worry, lucid dreaming can be tough, I'm glad to see that you are keeping a dream journal. This will increase your recall, because it appears that you aren't remembering many dreams.
What techniques have you tried, because all day awareness increases the chance of considering it is a dream. Reality Checks in the day when something strange happens can also help clarify it is a dream.

I'm so glad I have all you guys on here to talk to, because I certainly can't ask my friends for advice on this particular topic, they'd think I was a little crazy, aside from not even knowing what I was talking about!
Don't worry about it, it's their problem if they aren't open minded enough to accept the chance of awesomeness.

If you have any other questions just ask.
