I'm 25 now. In college I had time for all different inductions, practices, etc. and managed a couple of lucids. I have been working full time now for a few years and have always wanted to continue, but a job is making it quite difficult.

First off, my mind type makes dream recall extremely difficult. I have to spend a week of constant dream focus to even start remembering one dream per night. Any WILD induction method is out of the question because I get up early by alarm and can't afford to interrupt sleep. I'm an engineer and work in a serious field, so I can't be tired at work. Being so engaged at work also makes constant reality checking difficult, uncomfortable, and hard to take seriously for myself (since I never dream about work, of course I'm awake).

How should I steer my efforts? I know I can do it. But I think my type of brain is not geared for this, so keeping the subject at the center of my life seems to be the only way... It's tiresome.
