My collection of dream tales

I've been trying to lucid dream for 7 weeks and so far no results. my main problem is being unable to realize I'm dreaming however before I discovered lucid dreaming I used to realize I was dreaming every night by accident.I tried doing reality checks a few times every day, but after about 3 weeks of that not working I gave up on it. I've also tried for about 4 weeks repeating to myself I'll have a lucid dream but It won't work, I did come close to one though when I decided to take a nap in the afternoon, I realized I was dreaming and forgot for some reason. please help me with my lucid dream deficiency!:(
