or rather trying to do it. so far i've had one brief lucid (maybe a minute or so) in which i hovered. nevertheless every night i prodigiously utter the mantra to myself that not only do i want to lucid dream, i CAN lucid dream. so far i have not convinced my subconscious.

anyhow, i do reality checks throughout the day and what not. even when i walk up in the middle of the night when my bladder reminds me of its existence i take the time to visit this great forum, read about lucid dreams, and go back to bed uttering the same mantra (normally trying to reenter into the dream i awakened from).
as i said, it's only worked once but i'm not giving up!

however, i am freakin' tired! i got to law school so my day is covered with reading casebooks and pinching my nose testing if i can breathe, while asking myself if i'm in a dream.

at night i fall asleep within 5 mins, and i'm wondering if
1.) anyone else is as exhausted as i am from trying to lucid dream
2.) if the fact that i can't seem to stay awake for more than 5 mins when my head hits the pillow is hurting my chances of lucid dreaming
