Citizen, I also have had a great deal of difficulty trying to achieve lucid dreaming, and it also drives me crazy everytime I see a post to the effect of "Hey, man, someone told me about this lucid dreaming thing, and I tried it last night, and I had the best lucid dream evah!" Or a variant is: "I just tried that 'watch the elephant' technique, and I just instantly started lucid dreaming. I had like 4 in a row! It's just so easy, man!"

I know I should wish them well, and all, but sometimes, you know...
