Hi all...

Im kinda new in the whole lucid dreaming world. I was introduced to it by the movie Waking Life. On that same day i had a lucid dream using the light switch trick. i was so fascinated by it, so i tried to do it in the next nights . However, I developed a very frustrating problem, much different to the problems most people have. The problem is : I cant fall asleep. Its very exhausting, i haven't slept in about a week. i mean, i get some sleep, but only for like 2 hours a night, then i wake up and spend the next 6 hours trying to go back to sleep. im very dedicated, i do reality checks all the time. i have no doubt that i can lucid dream (because i already had one, lol), but what good are reality checks if i cant fall asleep in the first place? Im positive that I have this problem because of lucid dreaming. Why? because before it i slept normally, and it only started after i found out about lucid dreaming.

P.S1: The reason I'm posting this here is.. well i don't know where else to, and also falling asleep is the first step towards attaining lucidity, right?

P.S2: I know that some people will tell me i should do the dream recall thing first. The reply is: I have a very good memory, i remember dreams for a very long time (ofcourse not all dreams, I'm not Superman, but I'm sure that if i have a lucid dream, i wont forget about it. I can still remember every detail of my lucid dream even though it was a week ago).
