Thread: Been trying for a month. Any advice?

I have been trying to get a lucid dream for at least a month. I realize that it takes time to learn, but are some strategies better than others?
I've tried MILD, WBTB, binarial beats, and WILD. I also do reality checks five times a day (on average).

Keep on trying. It took me several months to have one. But when I did, the euphoria is absolutely worth it.

diferent people take longer than others and have better suited teqhniques, my fave is DILD, coz i got 3 on my first 3 days of trying then it got harder, so maybe its a good thing it is taking u longer. it might be the longer it takes, the better you will be.

dont give up

Why five times a day? What cues you to state check? For me, reality checking is the big thing. It's all I do and I can get around 2+ lucids a week just by RCing. So my advice is to focus on that, don't neglect your state testing!

I RC every time I hear a Christmas song or whenever I see a cat or dog

Are they your dream signs? I'd recommend RCing:

RC when you:

-see/think about your dream signs
-wake up (FAs)
-see a digital clock
-experience deja vu or deja reve
-suddenly understand what someone means when you've been having trouble understanding
-ask "what?" to yourself or out loud
-some sort of electronic device doesn't work
-whenever you realize a coincidence has occurred
-whenever you hear the word 'dream' or think about lucid dreaming
-etc etc etc.

You could try some supplements:
try 8mg galantamine and 400 mg of choline at 4 am

I would stay away from unnatural ways. They limit your natural capabillities and cost more.
