      Help!

      I guess you can say I'm fairly new to lucid dreaming. Although I've known about it and astral projection for a few years now, for the past month I've been trying to finally achieve a lucid dream. I've had one, just one, spontaneously sometime in July. I hope to be able to lucid dream and eventually astral project, but I've been having problems . I often do reality checks, asking myself if I'm dreaming and answering the question multiple times throughout the day. I also keep a dream journal and meditate. It's been a month since I've started and I've gotten nowhere in becoming aware in my dreams. I know this isn't something that's learned easy and it takes some people months to achieve, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me what techniques you find affective. I think I should change my approach and try a different technique. Please help me out (:

      I personally like WBTB for WILD.

      Every weekday morning I have to wake up early to take my daughter to school, and I'm sometimes awake for as long as two hours. When I come home and finally lie down I do it in the chair in the living room rather than my bed. I find this semi-reclined position helps me so much with lucidity, and keeping my mind aware as I'm falling asleep.

      This is what works for me.

      Think about your daily schedule and the times of day that you feel most tired. Lucidity could be as easy as changing your sleep schedule a little.

      Awareness

      If you want to really get more awareness in your dream, you should become more aware in waking life. Have a read of the All Day Awareness technique, that might help you out summore!

      I prefer MILD over every other technique. I especially hate WILD and find it challenging. I use a MILD technique where I daydream of having a lucid dream before I go to bed. It boosts my awareness and is sort of like dreaming practice. As with just about every other technique, it works amazingly well with WBTB. I like this technique because I can just lazily daydream day and night and become lucid.

      Everyone is different though. What works for me may not work at all for you.
