So...so far non-consistently I used to do reality checks when I first started trying to lucid dream...my first lucid dream was when I didn't mean to fall asleep...and accidentally took a nap when I new I had to go somewhere and didn't want to sleep but was lying their with my eyes closed... now I'm having trouble getting this again...my first lucid dream I was actually able to control and manifest things and I got better the other couple of accidental times I have been privileged lucidity...now...seemingly...if I break down the times I have been lucid my answer is to trick my body into falling asleep even though I don't want to...because it seems when I fall asleep when I'm just bored or a bit tired (like lastnight for example...I was watching a youtube video while lying on my bed and was so tired I was falling asleep but wanted to watch the video so bad...I kept tr tying but fell asleep and for some reason when I fall asleep like a nap that way or when I don't want to because I need to go somewhere or something when I start dreaming I realize I'm dreaming like it's common sense... like oxygen like why didn't I notice this earlier...) but that is so hard for me to do...and I'm trying to do the wild technique but the farthest I have gotten is hypnagogic imagery slightly and morso sound but I was curious and didn't let it flow and concentrated on the sound I was hearing and it failed and my body was just really relaxed because it woke from almost sleep paralysis...and ever since then I can't get that far and I can't take naps because I just don't take naps because I guess my body is hard wired to think when I go to sleep it's time to actually sleep and I want to take a 30 minute to 2 hour nap and 12 in the evening or 2 in the afternoon and I wake up at 8-10 at night...please help me...I want to lucid dream for a multitude of things other than just flying and talking to my dream characters...but...I don't know what to do...please help...
