Thread: techniques but not lucid?

Has anyone done techniques before, and after you've entered the dream you still didn't become lucid? The reason i ask is that for the past couple of weeks or so, I still didn't become lucid after doing techiques like wild. I know about reality checks and everything but, my memory is so bad in dreams, and i forget to do them. But today i've started asking myself, am i dreaming at different times throughout the day, in the hope of being able to do it in the dream. And sometimes in dreams, i don't even know if i know i'm dreaming, I just go about my business, i get so caught up in dreams that most of the time i don't take the time to rc, or just stop and ask myself am i dreaming, or even observe my surroundings to stabalize the dream. I'm going to start being aware of my surroundings throughout the day and maybe that'll help.
