I have been trying to have a lucid dream since April and have yet to have one. I have used so many techniques, WILD, MILD, DILD, Binureal Beats, audio inductions, reality checks throughout the day, and so much more and still freaking nothing...

That's why you're not getting any, the answer is in your title "and so much more and still freaking nothing..."
Focus on one technique and be loyal to it. Don't try to do WILD until you have a lucid dream at least once, even if it lasts for 10 seconds, you will know what it feels like and that will aid and motivate you in WILD.
If you want to learn lucid dreaming you have to be patient. Experience is the only way you'll learn. Stop everything you're doing and just do two things for now.
1. Reality check during the day.
2. Mantra at night
And be reasonable with them. Don't reality check 100 times through the day and try to repeat your mantra 400 times before you sleep. Don't stress yourself out. That feeling of stress is you fighting with yourself. Remember that the only thing that can be preventing a lucid dream is you. Your attitude and mindset are the only things that are important. You have the entire rest of your life to learn this stuff, the two months you've put in is nothing.
The absolute best way I have found is what I used the very first time I ever tried and it has worked over and over, and over. It's called the timer method. Sign up for the free course and download at (dare I say it) lucidology.com Download the timer and use the method. It works. Its phenomenal and it gives you lots and lots of opportunities to lucid in one session. The first time I ever used this method, I had a string of lucids in one session. Don't give up yet.
I am pretty sure you are not supposed to say it.Quote:

No one mentioned it yet, but step one is recall. Unless you have made a true extended effort to develop your recall, you are skipping a step. Go back to developing recall and be patient. If you can not remember your dreams and put them in a journal, wel,,, step one is step one for a reason. You may want to skip to the fun stuff, but so far that is not working, so follow the advice of those who came before you. Recall, journal, mantra, for the next couple months. Keep it simple and don't skip ahead.
Oh, and of course keep up RCs, but only as a side thing. Recall, Journal, Mantra "I am dreaming" while falling asleep or something like that.
geez, to early to quit.:shock: If you really want to have LD, Think it about all the Time when you have a spare time to Think about it! A little research i not enough honey pie, you got it tutty pop?
Forget all those methods and take a break from them because clearly it's stressing you out. Maybe the best thing for you is to try meditation and/or being aware during your day. Ask yourself if it's possible you're dreaming sometimes and be as skeptical as you can! Do some reality checks too! Remember though, if you don't do them with a mentality that you might be dreaming, you're not being aware enough.
I recommend taking a few weeks or a months break and then getting back into it! The trick is choosing a technique and then sticking with that one technique for a long time. Some people take a bit longer than others to get lucid...that's okay! Just stay positive and confident about it. That is what will really help you achieve lucidity. Stay motivated! :)
