So I've been trying to become lucid in my dreams since I was 21 (I'm 30 now), and nothing seems to work.

I've tried music, brainwave voyages, metatolin, everything almost under the sun, but while dreaming, I find myself stubborn, or always 'sticking to the story' even if something seems odd or out of place that tells me I MUST be dreaming, I just shrug it off, then kick myself in the backside when I wake up.

It's getting frustrating.

I don't have the patience for a dream log, because I always forget to write important information down every morning, then I end up forgetting it.


I've got the idea that maybe I can't become lucid. Every night I go to sleep thinking, I will become lucid, I will become lucid. When I see my girlfriend, that will be an indication that I'm dreaming" and when I see her in my dream, nothing. Continues the story.

Anyone got any ideas on what I can try?

Thanks everyone.
