I have been trying to gain lucidity for a very long time (about a year), and have come very close on more than one occasion, but I can never seem to push it that last few inches to enter true lucidity. I have (or did have when I had it honed) good dream recall, but reality tests and pretty much every other technique I have tried, have proved unsuccessful. I feel like the only way for me to lucid dream is to force it by WILDing, but this is proving very difficult and tiring, and it doesn't make it any easier if you've never lucidly dreamed before. I'm feeling discouraged. I almost feel like my mind may be too weak and undisciplined to lucid dream. Could someone give me some tips?
