They usually start out great, but after ten minutes I find myself doing the zaniest things! By that time, my only hope to lucidity is to be saved by a false awakening. That can be discouraging.

Once you know lucidity... I mean know it. Know it to the point where you've had lucids in which you remember what you ate for dinner yesterday night, and kept that lucidity through the entire dream. That's when they'll begin coming on their own. After that point, it's all up to your own motivation.

Also, autosuggestion helps a bunch, even at the beginning of the night.
wow... is that level of lucidity really possible?
