You also might try the placebo method. This means taking something that won't help you, and pretending that it will help you. For example, I got a couple LD's by taking a piece of chocolate, and pretending that it was a miraculous lucid dream chocolate bar. I think that's why some people swear by supplements, while others say that same supplement is worthless.
Also, not getting alot of sleep hurts your chances.
I've had more WILD OBE experiences than DILD's. All of my WILD attempts (which work) end up as an OBE. This has been happening about once every week or two.

I occasionally have DILD's and they are not as OBE's but I just realize I am dreamining and very often immediately wake up. I've had a few DILD's that lasted perhaps up to 10 minutes, but it isn't happening enough. Methods usually don't work for me, or they only do a couple of times. Usually I just recongize something isn't right in a dream and know I'm dreaming.

I guess after reading these replies, I'm not doing that bad, I just wish I could have lucid dreams at will, and they would last as long as I wanted. Perhaps someday.

I have tried many supplements including Galantamine/choline, it worked twice out of 10 tries now, B6 works the best, DMAE worked after taking it a couple of weeks.
