I've been trying to attain lucidity using this , but just keep falling asleep

I've been playing this youtube video "Lucid Dreaming Induction With Theta & Delta Binaural Brainwaves"

I just fall asleep with it playing , though. What's your trick to becoming lucid. I once read somewhere that some people can actually be aware of the process of your body going to sleep while being still conscious. Is this the same as having a lucid dream?

I remember watching a movie called dreamscape, where the characters could control the entire environment of their dreams. Anyone here have the ability to do this?

My trick of becoming lucid is the RC's i do. I always remember this "As soon as i wake up i will performe a Reality Check."
The body going to sleep thing is called Sleep Paralyzis. It happens every night but it's just that most of the times your mind will fall asleep first. When the opposite happens (Your body falls asleep but not your mind) You will start feeling the paralyzis going through your body. Example is: You cant move (obviously), you will feel "vibrations" all over your body (most of the times) and stuff like loud noises or other things like voices.

Everyone have the ability to control their enviroment but not everyone have learned how to do it so it's just about practise and patience.

Meditation will strongly aid becoming lucid in your dreams, this I gurantee, it is how the Tibetan monks achieve the state.

I wouldn't recommend the binaural beats. For me, they did nothing positive. I felt rather screwed up after using them for a month or so and was tired 24/7 for some time afterwards.

Also, in regard to WILDing (your body falling asleep while you stay aware, thus resulting, ultimately, in a lucid dream), although sleep paralysis can be a main feature, plenty of people do not experience it at all - myself being one of them. I've WILDed loads of times without ever experiencing any form of paralysis (only once have I had it), so don't focus on it too much. All you need to know is that the transition between brain frequencies can produce ''static'' in the form of vibrations, a feeling of a heavy blanket laid over you, or possibly hallucinations - none of which should be feared, however, as none of it is harmful. As Riser stated, you go through it every night - you're just unconscious (by default) during it.

In addition, if you can think of it, it's possible. That's all there is to the capabilities of lucid dreaming.
