Don't ever give up. I had been trying (literally) for YEARS before I had my first LD.. and I STILL haven't had another since then either. Do I let it get me down? Hell no.

We're the "instant gratification generation" if we can't have it immediately we give up even trying. Some things are worth waiting for & I believe LD'ing is one of those things. No matter how long it takes it will totally be worth while.

There's somebody's sig (I never remember who, dagnabbit) that quotes a Chinese proverb about something like "the urge to quit is greatest just before we achieve success" or something to that effect. Keep that in mind.

NEVER QUIT!!!!

As this Phydeaux_3 said, only you can decide whether its possible for you or not.

He's right (Phydeaux and pj). Maybe you should re-evaluate your methods tho; try something new? After some time off.

It's all right but have you ever tought that maybe you're trying TOO hard? sometimes its best to forget it just for 1 day or 2 and then with new energy try again

thats good never give up, what you should do is take a cold shower around 5am, it works very well, at least 50% of the time or try deild or fild. just dont expect it wont happen, if you think it wont work it wont, if you think you will you will.

Yeah I know. And I am taking a day off. Im thinking that I might be doing something wrong. Maybe Ill try and get a mentor at the adoption area. Idk, I just really want to experience what all the hype is about! It sounds amazing!

Maybe WILD isn't for you? I've nearly perfected my personalized DILD. With proper motivation, a consistent sleep schedule, and a reliable alarm, I can lucid dream whatever night I plan to (usually on weekends)... But that took time. Months. Seasons. You've been on this site for what, a few weeks? And you've only been trying WILD? WILD is very hard for some (... Me.), while it is the only way to lucid dream for others. Perhaps you're a DILD kind of person?

Branch out. If WILD doesn't work for you to the point you get discouraged... Try a different technique!

Well I have a feeling that Wild is going to be it. Becuase I can get into an SP state at will. I have never DILDed in my life, usually people have done it without realizing it before. And whenever I try FILD I get too tired to keep my fingers moving and it just keeps me awake. I think with a little more practice, I will be able to WILD. But I am definitely taking tonight off.

Not trying DILD because you've never DILDed before? That's a lame excuse. That's like me saying I'm not going to try WILD because I've never WILDed before...

Anyway, do whatever fits you best. Just remember to keep your recall up, and reality check every time you wake up, even if you don't care for DILDs... Because what happens if you WILD, and then lose it to a false awakening because you don't reality check?

That's my advice. And you will improve, no matter what technique you do. It just takes patience (if only we knew how much!). But you will succeed. It is inevitable!
