i have had many lucid dreams. every time i've read exploring the world of lucid dreaming by stephen laberge i've had ten or so in roughly usually a three month period. i have read it about every three years since i was 15 then typically slacked off and stopped having them. i read it recently and had one. that was in early february then i started trying to do it with dream yoga for two and a half weeks with zero success. i gave up and am trying MILD again, i'm using random times to state test throughout the day decided on and written out a week before that i only read in the morning and hitting all or at least three of four each day. still nothing. any ideas or theories on why i'm having such bad luck when i've always been good at it before? the only differences in recent years are i quit drinking and smoking. is it because i'm leacking the alcohol created REM rebound??? i don't get it please help.
