Anchoring self to reality

[RedWolf997]

Whenever I go to sleep by daydreaming about something that interests me and I slowly lose awareness that I am dreaming until I am essentially dreaming, still surelly if I can be aware while this happens I can use it to lucid dream however if I am intentionally trying to achieve this state It never comes (unless I get distracted in which case I don't know I am doing it and fall asleep) D:

Yup. When you push it, they don't come

You need to add an element of awareness to keep track of the fact that it is a dream. Try drifting off to the daydream, but inthe background repeat the thought "this is a dream."
