Thread: Need help attaining lucidity more frequently

From my experience, based on my first years of search for the same thing, all I can say is:

The best way to lucid dream frequently is to not look for that in the first place.

Learning to do anything is really easy in theory, that applies to lucid dreaming too. All you need to do is to practise and take action until you are experienced. Fail and learn from that and keep taking action. Failures and overcoming obstacles is what will make you grow.
So all you have to do to learn to lucid dream is to pick a technique, doesn't matter which, and just practise until you get a lucid dream.
The problem with this however is that your ego can't handle this fact. You want immediate result and since your belief and expectation is that this isn't going to happen, it simply wont. So we need to find a balance between consistent effort and practise and your ego.

And that is in my experience found when you find the practise enjoyable, which is done by finding a lucd dreaming technique you find fun to practise.
Personally I also like to find a technique that satisfies me intellectually, I used to for example find different "sciences" about the brain like that the aminergic system (the chemical system of the brain that governs critical thinking.) was lowered in activity during REM sleep and that waking up several times would make it increase and therefore make me critical in my dreams which would make me lucid.

So find a technique that you enjoy to practise, so that the process of trial and error required for learning isn't as much of a pain for your ego.

What I am trying to explain is that when you focus on the practise itself rather than the result, you will get the result.

"If you look for result you will not change, but if you look for change you will get result".
