Thread: Ready to give up. Again.

I tried a dream induced lucid dream? I recognized I was dreaming a few times this past year like I said and got too scared and woke up. You would think being 22 and normally not afraid of things, I could get over that fear.

I've tried WBTB and WILDS and the WBTB plus WILD technique. My problem appears to be that I'm stuck in the paralysis state and can't get into the dream.

I have also tried to think of what I dreamed but I only get a word or two in my thoughts and even then I'm not sure. I've woken up naturally in the middle of the night.

I'm also still feeling a lot of stress now so that could possibly be a factor.

I don't know if you decided not to answer my post (about detailing your practice), or if this is the answer...?

Maybe you could use much more structure in planning your day and night practice. LaBerge's A Course In Lucid Dreaming gives you concrete progressive exercises and things to do during the day and night to promote dream recall and lucidity. I recommend reading it and following it.
