Well guys I'm new to this site and im sure you have heard this a million times but I am having trouble becoming lucid in my dreams. I have been trying for about 2 months now. I have tried just about every technique ive seen online so far. I have an alarm that wakes me up at the end of my rem sleep so I can keep tracks of my dreams in my dream journal and I have suprisingly became pretty good at remembering my dreams now. I have been able to wake my self up from 3 nightmares and have went back in to the same dream by thinking about it twice now just havent been able to become aware in my dreams yet. Ive found I have the most success at remembering my dreams and they are the most vivid when I wake up at around 7 and go back to sleep and wake up around 10:30 I usually remember 2 or 3 dreams quite vividly. Just wondering if I could get some help maybe new techiniques from some people who are experienced with ld'ing already. |

Try CAT(Cycle adjustment technique) I have been using a slightly modified version of it since school started and every Saturday I have gotten lucid. Otherwise I would suggest working on awareness. Those are what have been working for me lately so maybe they can help you too. |

I actually tried CAT for about 2-3 weeks with no success really. And thank you therealtenman I appreciate it. |

How long have you spent on each technique? Maybe it wasn't long enough. If you tried every technique in 2 month, I bet that's the case. Have you paid enough attention to daytime awareness and to intent? I think these two important components are understated in some tutorials. |

Congratulations, you've done most of the hard work already and have gotten further than most people ever do who decide to try LDing. |

The easiest method I know is DEILD (Dream exit) . This takes a little patience and discipline. Wait for a a dream to wake you up up early (that's the patience part and might take weeks) then stay perfectly still and visualize that very dream as you drift back off to sleep... all the while remembering your intent to be conscious in the coming dream. Good luck to you! |
