Thread: Why can't I lucid dream

If you have never had a lucid dream before than it may take quite a bit of time to have your first one. You need to be patient. I for one cannot WILD to save my life. So just don't be discouraged.

I have heard a lot of people claim they have lucid dreams 9 out of 10 nights. And I can't even have 1.

Those are the people who have a lot of experience with lucid dreaming.
Let's say if a professional runner tells you he can run 50miles without stopping, you can't expect yourself to do the same thing. If you know what I mean, but with practice you can reach that point someday.
