My god, every time I try, no matter how much confidence or attempt I put into it, I can't lucid dream anymore. I remember how I used to have natural lucid dreams long before I found out about it. Then, two years ago, I found out that lucid dreaming was a completely different type of dream. Around that time, I was completely into it. Lucid dreams came easier trying the techniques, and I kept a dream journal here on Dreamviews (that can be linked to in my profile). But, as months went by, by mid 2006, I wasn't into it anymore. Time after time, though, I'd try it again. When it came to 2007, I wasn't into it anymore. Sometimes (maybe once or twice a month), I'd have a lucid dream. But that died off too, by the time it was August or so this year.

And when I tried, in August, to lucid dream, it wouldn't happen. Sometimes I wouldn't even remember my dreams. I went to sleep earlier many nights (making sure I'd sleep long enough to have a REM cycle), trying techniques I haven't used for a year or two. I failed horribly.

Now, I've been trying for the last few nights again. I'm desperate for a lucid dream, because I remember how awesome they were and how I felt free and on my own. There has been some stress I could release with lucid dreaming right now, too.


What did I do? Is this my fault? Did I drain my mind out completely or something? I really need help right now. It'd be awesome if someone can guide me.
