then it is likely because you are not motivated enough. Many people would say to that, "well that's absurd, of course I want to have lucid dreams!" But that is not what I am saying. Of course all of us here want to have lucid dreams, but there is a difference between want and true motivation.

Any task of any kind (but for now we'll just say with the human mind) is achievable. Every thing you want to learn. Everything you think you cannot do can be done. Improving dream recall and having lucid dreams are within that category as well. In my inability to have lucid dreams over this past while (although I did have several), I discovered that it was because I was not truly motivated. (And incidently, DDK, I'm sorry for my recent inactivity, I've been quite busy, I'll be fully active again soon). If in your day to day life you focus all of your intent on lucid dreaming, then I promise you, you WILL have lucid dreams. It is not possible to not happen.

That is of course not to say that you aren't motivated, it just means you are not putting your motivation into action. Or perhaps it is that you are not motivated enough. Everyone experiences times when they say "I could write 'RC' on my hands to remember to RC, but I'm too lazy. And then you forget to later. And then you don't get in the habit of performing reality checks, and don't lucid dream. Then you get discouraged and start giving up. Maybe not really giving up, but passively.

The solution is to focus your INTENT to have lucid dreams ON lucid dreaming itself. It's just like anything else. If you REALLY wanted to learn how to play guitar so well that you could play in a national band, you would focus all of your intent and free time on doing so. The same applies to lucid dreaming. Many people who have trouble lucid dreaming have a certain thought process: they simply do not think about lucid dreaming during the day, and only remember to think about it at night. And by that time, for most people it's too late. You must remain focused on your intent to lucid dream DURING the day.

It doesn't matter what disorders you have, be they ADHD, depression, ADD, bipolarity, etc. If you focus all of your intent on lucid dreaming, you will have them, and you will be able to have them at will (eventually). It's just like anything else, it takes work. And if you aren't TRULY motivated to the fullest extent to have lucid dreams, maybe you need to take a rest from it for a time, until you have time to focus on it. If you sort of halfway try to have lucids, you likely won't have them and then you will doubt yourself.

Well I'm here telling you to never doubt yourself. This is always within your complete control. You are a human being with a modern mind, therefore you are capable of lucid dreaming, I don't care who you are. You can all do this, it just takes work. Different degrees of work for different people. Some are able to LD with little effort, others require full intent. Focus your daily intent on lucid dreaming throughout the day more than anything else, and I guarantee you will start having lucids in a week or two. Goodluck dreamers.
