Thread: Is it possible that one just can't DILD?

I have been trying lucid dreaming for 2 years. I kept a dream journal, did awareness exercises, meditated before bed, did reality checks, did WBTB 2 times per day with a consistent sleep schedule(7.5 ~ 8 hrs) - everything.

Whenever I asked the reason of my lack of success, people simply thought of it as a problem of not enough effort, or gave mundane advices like:
"keep a dream journal." (I do)
"have you tried WBTB?" (I do it 4~5 days per week)
"meditate before bed." (This is already a part of my daily routine.)
"you're not confident enough."
"be aware during the day." (I've been following Fryingman's advice for a long time - be aware of your surroundings.)
"try ADA." (did it for a few months. Nothing improved during that period)
"are you trying too hard?" (I don't think one can "try too hard" for years)
"do you smoke weed?" (I don't do any drugs or take pills)
(-> I do/did every basic technique mentioned above.)

I didn't improve at all, when comparing my current state to the time when I first started lucid dreaming. At least I remembered dreams every morning when I first started(maybe beginner's luck). I remember dreams once in a while now. My induction methods didn't change at all, I think I'm actually trying harder now.

After 2 years of little success, I came down to a conclusion that DILD is impossible for me. I didn't want to believe it because people said that everybody can DILD with enough effort.

I'm not going to give up though - I started practicing WILD and I'll see if that fits me.

But, what if lucid dreaming is entirely impossible? I'm getting worried. I wish I could lucid dream with "enough effort".
