Thread: When you just give up.

Thank you for your help but honestly, I'm not very interested in meditation. Even though Lucid Dreaming is some sort of "meditation" I can't really be bothered to spend my time reading books and information about meditation. All I want to do is to learn how to induce myself in ONE single lucid dream so that I can confirm that its actually worth spending a lot of time on.

Also, how are binaural beats? I, personally, think that it's placebo. But I am also aware that I can be very wrong, I'm a very open minded person.

Hey! Welcome to DV!

I think that most people would agree with Sisyphus about taking a break. I am not a fan of this method, but it works for a lot of people. My big thing about taking breaks is to make sure you keep your DJ up, if your recall goes down it takes a while to build it back up.

Personally I think that you are probably needing more of a one on one help. I would check out the Dream Views Academy for some classes. There is a beginner course, but if you have done research for a year I would recommend this class:
General Lucid Dreaming (Matte87)

Matte can give you some good advice if you let him.

I would recommend more consistency with techniques, 20 different techs in a year is a lot, this means that you spend an average of 18 days on a technique and move on. It took me about 45 days of one tech to get my first induced lucid. Techniques isn't everything though, this thread is about what it really takes to LD, and there are some good pieces of advice there. Note that "technique" is not listed by anyone. CosmicIron might protest, but most would agree that technique is secondary to these:

Meditation doesn't take books. All you really need to do is just sit there for about 5 minutes. either think about just one thing, think of nothing, or visualize. There is a class here about that too, and it would take less time than reading books.
Dream Yoga (Sivason)

I personally am not a fan of binaural beats and haven't tried them too much, so I can't give you an answer on that.

If you have any questions feel free to ask here or PM me.

edit
Hey! I didn't comment about the DJ. I was going to ask you what constitutes amazing recall? I haven't met anyone that has recall as high as mine and doesn't LD. (Not bragging. There are plenty with better recall than me)
