Hi Mitchellkid,
For how long have you been trying? On an average day and night, what (how long, how much) do you do to promote lucid dreams? How is your dream recall? What resources/books have you read on lucid dreaming?
Lucid dreaming is very much a personal journey of discovery: you need to be patient, learn about and try many different approaches to find what works for you. It requires consistent effort over time to show progress.
My dream is pretty good i remeber the best parts of my dreams and i read alot on forums and watch youtubers talk about lucid dreamingQuote:

This is how I started: I made dream recall my only focus. I made dream recall my personal goal!
But... I quickly realized that I had zero dream recall and that I was one of those who believed that I didn't even dream every night.
So then I broke this goal down to: If I remember ONE fragment of a dream it's a success!
Then I had a theory about the relationship between short-term memory and dream recall so I made up a method where I journaled my day and I ended up remember 4 dreams a night! It was my first thread on dreamviews! http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-sign...reams-try.html
After this my goal was: If I write in my daily journal it's a success!
Over time these goals evolved and so did my state of consciousness.
Now my goal is: If I meditate before going to bed it's a success!
So my point for your criteria of success is to not make it about whether you attain a result or not, make it about the process!
When you lower your criteria of success and focus on learning, nothing HAS to work, because YOU do the work! :meditate:
Peace :)
If you would describe in (much more) detail what you do specifically during the day and night to promote lucid dreaming, and for how long you've been doing this (and whether you've been doing it consistently or on and off), we could be of more help.
I do rc as much as i can ALWAYS put every thing what i remeber in my journel when i go to bed i calm my mind first than do mild than wake up at 4.00 and stay awake for awhile and than do mild agianQuote:

For the third and last time, I'll ask: how long have you been practicing (when did you start), has it been every day or just once in a while?
Do you notice any difference in your dreams at all since beginning? Is your recall improving? Are your dreams getting more vivid?
How much sleep do you get on a typical night?
Im trying to lucid dream for 2 months now or maybe a little more at first i did rc fast really stupid of me i do than longer now my dreams are more vivid and the recall is waay betterQuote:

Thanks man for all the helpQuote:

Don't give up, you only fail once you give up! It's worth the hard work!
