Ok, I'm trying to get all out of the tutorials that I can, so I'm sorta making up my own techniques as I go. Not much use to me, considering I still haven't had a lucid (that I remember....), so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

I go to bed consistently on schedule. 11 pm every night, my body isn't too tired and my mind is still with me. For about an hour I am on DV before that, trying to fill my noodle with thoughts of LDs.

I finally hit my bed, and roll around until I can get comfortable. Then I keep thinking to myself, 'I can have a Lucid Dream' or 'I will wake up after I dream' or something to that effect. At this point my body is relaxed, and I try to dream up a small dream. Nothing huge, just a quick dip into dreaming potential. I have my DCs remind me that I am dreaming, and I will think I am dreaming. Of course, this is not lucid dreaming, just me talking to myself. When I feel I am falling asleep, I refocus on reality, and try to stay still for SP. At this point my body has been resting for about 5-10 minutes, so I expect SP. But....at this point I really can't remember what I do, because usually I'm asleep.

Any suggestions to how I can use this to get to SP, and then LDs?

Thanks! NW.
