Eamo24, I wouldn't call that "not going so well" at all! In the run up to my very first lucid dream, I started dreaming *about* lucid dreaming: my mother would say "oh, that guys is a lucid dreamer," or I'd "see" the neighbor woman's lucid dream images appear on a board. Or someone says "this is the lucid dreaming club." The fact that you got that idea on the very first attempt shows it's *really close* to working for you! Now, if you never ever moved beyond that, you could have a complaint.

Nailler didn't mention it but it's part and parcel of every LDing approach: you must be consistent and give it time. Months if you have to, if you really want to be a lucid dreamer.
