Greetings all! I have been a lucid dreamer/studier for many years now. I started with the "looking at my hands" technique and was immediately in love with the incredible world I found, and even started a dream journal to document it all. The technique worked perfectly the first couple of times I tried it and then I began to have difficulty getting my non-lucid self to look at my hands anymore. Eventually I got frustrated, picked up some books on LD and went on to try other methods. Just about everything I tried worked the first time and led to wonderful lucidity, only to start failing a few weeks later. I have now reached the point where nothing I try works anymore, and I have only had one or two LDs in the past few years. I am very disheartened that I can't make tried-and-true methods work anymore. Has anyone else experienced this?
