Important question!

Hey. I'm a way newbie to lucid dreaming, and i am a teenager. I have a few questions. Firstly, I need tips to start a lucid dream. I can convince myself to become lucid before i go to sleep but it is hard for me. But it's hard for me and I'm wondering if it gets easier. Also, when i want to make things happen in my dreams, I have to close my eyes and imagine the thing that i want to happen, but it is hard to keep doing that and everything is fuzzy. I can't seem to remember to stabilize my dream while dreaming. Any help???

Do you do WTBT?
Try the mantra "I will remember to stabilize my dream".

Yeah, my first recommendation is always to keep a dream journal. You don't have to post your dreams online, but make sure you are writing them down in a notebook or something. Recalling and recording your dreams will help build your dream recall. Stabilization should be something that you want to get used to doing. if a dream ever becomes fuzzy or unstable, make a mental note right now that you will try and stabilize it. In the dream state, you don't have to close your eyes and imagine something happening, you can just imagine it without closing them. Try to really visualize what you want to happen without closing your dream eyes. This can cause instability because you are essentially just blackening out the dream. Remember, in the dream state you don't even really have eyes.

...And have no doubt about what you are trying to create or your ability to create it.

recall is paramount, if you can work on that lucid dreaming is a lot easier.

Focus on being positive about your lucid dreaming, if you become negative about it you will hamper your self big time.

I would recommend using visualisation techniques before sleep, really see yourself becoming lucid, and focus on one goal until you achieve it, ie pushing your finger through a wall. If you can keep on one goal until you have achieved it you will find yourself building a solid foundation of skills you can work from, if you jump around too much you may never build that base.
