I'm not allowed to post links as I'm new. On Youtube, search for Tipharot "How to Lucid Dream Without Waking Up - Intention Technique"

Summary:

Step 0 (optional): think about lucid dreaming all day e.g. watch videos, read articles and books etc

Step 1: Decide to get lucid in bed

Step 2: Ask subconscious for a lucid dream

Step 3: Go to bed

I'm using this technique atm and I tried it last night with no result but had vivid dreams tbh. That might be because I drank some water before going to bed, i believe I heard that causes vivid dreams?

The reason I'm using this is because I would rather not wake up and go back to bed as it takes me a while to get back to bed.

In addition, I tried almost every method I heard about: WILD, DEILD, MILD, WBTB, SSILD and other techniques. I only went lucid twice: once I got lucky and once where I used a reality check I read on the lucid dreaming thread on reddit. At certain times I would recall how I got at that specific time. It only happened once and I've tried to replicate it with no success.

I stopped trying to years ago (1-2 years ago, can't remember when exactly) after failing to attain even one lucid dream, but I'm trying again. However, I would like to use new techniques as the old ones aren't helping.

I've read many books including Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, but that also didn't help unfortunately.
