Try WBTB, FILD, MILD, and other simpler techniques. You'll have a higher success rate.

Honestly the method I always suggest to beginners is simple:

- Set an alarm to wake you up after between 6 hours and 6 hours 20 minutes of sleep. This'll put you in your longest REM period (You need to be in an REM period to get lucid. This is the thing that makes a lot of people fail to get lucid in the first place, because they attempt the methods while not even in REM). If for example you go to bed at midnight, and it takes you ~10 minutes to fall asleep, then set your alarm for say 6:12-6:15 so you get a minimum of 6 hours sleep, but not too much if you fall asleep faster than usual.
- When you wake up, if it's easy for you to get back to sleep, then you can get up and spend a few minutes writing down your dreams, deciding what you plan to do in your lucid dream, and using the bathroom. If on the other hand, you struggle at getting back to sleep, I suggest instead just remaining in the same position you woke up in.
- Now close your eyes again and just think about what you would like to do in your lucid dream, then repeat the following phrase inside your head "I will be lucid in my next dream". Repeat it as long as you feel comfortable. If you're super tired and just want to get back to sleep quickly, then just repeat it 5-10 times and then go back to sleep. If you don't mind repeating it for 3-5 minutes, do so. Hell, you can even keep repeating it until you fall asleep. It's all up to you. Even just saying it once will give you a good chance of getting lucid, so it really is up to you how much/little you say it.
- That's it, now just go back to sleep.

The method is really that simple and in my experience it's foolproof. I've never met a person that this method doesn't work for, and unlike techniques like say WILD, there's no room for messing up if you're inexperienced - other than perhaps setting your alarm for the wrong time. Anyone can repeat a phrase in their head and go to sleep - anyone can set an alarm, so once you've got the alarm timed right, the method //will// work for you.

It might not be as high a success rate as you'd have if you're experienced with WILD, and I'd say on average only 1/3 of the nights you use the method I outlined will result in success - but that still means on average 2+ lucid dreams a week, usually more, so by the end of the summer you should have at the bare minimum tripled your current lucid dream count with this method.

So yeah, try that out, and do it every night. Be consistent, and you'll have plenty of lucid dreams.
