Hello. I am a novice lucid dreamer. I used to get lucid dreams naturally when I was a kid. I started intentially lucid dreaming about last year and got around 3 lucid dreams. Then I decided to stay away from lucid dreaming to focus on schoolwork and my social life. About last month I decided to come back to lucid dreaming. However I've had very little luck. On my 1st night of returning to lucid dreaming,I had a DILD lucid dream. However,ever since then,I've been on a dry spell. I've been trying to get a lucid dream so badly but it hasn't worked. I've been trying ADA,meditation,WBTB,etc.... I've been trying MILD and DILD when I go to bed,and during naps I try to WILD. It irritates me that I can't get lucid dreams. Every morning I remember the dreams I've had and get mad at myself for not being able to realize that I was dreaming. I've tried keeping a positive attitude and telling myself "I will get a lucid dream" and "I will realize that I'm dreaming" but nothing works. I've read nearly every tutorial on this website. I'm tired of not being able to lucid dream. I used to be able to lucid dream naturally as a kid,and I know 2 people that can lucid dream naturally.(My grandfather and one of my best friends). My grandfather is always talking about his dreams and about 2 weeks ago I asked him if he can control his dreams,he said "Of course! Everybody controls their dreams right?" but when I told him that controlling their dreams comes with practice,he was shocked. And one of my best friends,who can LD naturally just never tells me how he LDs. He says that "It just happens" because he goes to bed when he's "really tired",and that most of the time the DCs just tell him that he's dreaming and then he ends up doing whatever he wants. I really want to lucid dream but I guess it's not for me.... I guess there are some things that people can't suceed at and I guess I just cant succeed with becoming a lucid dreamer. I want to thank all the people who gave me advice on this forum but I guess I'm done with lucid dreaming since I just cant get lucid......
