I get frustrated because it should be achievable. It IS achievable so why aren't I doing it?

I have pretty good dream recall. I know a lot of my dream signs. I've had (DILD) lucid dreams in the past. So I should be able to do it. I wake up in the morning and think of all the dreams I had that I can recall pretty well and think "what a waste!"

Am I trying too many techniques at once? I am trying RC in order to DILD. I am trying WILD and FILD.

Am I better to try ONE technique thoroughly instead of mixing them up? I feel perhaps I should.

I am such an impatient person. I have been keeping a DJ for eight days now and feel I should have some results, lol. Arghh. If I could stick my own foot up my backside I would.
How I'm doing it....

1) Have a few permanant purpose/reason for LDing and it must be specific.

2) Don't push too hard when it comes to RCing (military style). It's best to custom make/design a RC that suits your needs for LDing and to make it as relaxed and chilled out as possible. The best ones are the ones that incorporate LD activities and RCing together as one action, that way you save dream time and effort and it also makes RCing more motivated and productive.

3) Do not be impatient, it will be your pitfall no kidding. It will come to you sooner or later. It all depends on how you do it, if it's effective, you will have an LD the same night you use it and that will induce another one in the next dream.
