a dream journal honestly does help, and is good for a lot more than simply remembering your dreams. It's there to help catalog dream signs, which you can use your prospective memory to try and recognize in a dream.
Nop, it's not necessary for me. I already found some of my dreamsigns, and even reacted to them, but didn't become lucid, just dreamed of being lucid.

Have you tried VILD? Someone has a great tutorial on the site somewhere, and I find it one of the easier (if not more fun) methods.
Of course I tried that
The bouncing around between methods also may not be such a great idea. Pick one or two, and focus on them.
AHAHA! I tried every technique for like 3 months!

And losing out on life for the dream world is not such a great idea. Real life is awesome!
I didn't lose my life for the dream world, I even become a better person, I told you that not HAVING one stressed me a lot, because I know that there are a lot of things I can do in waking life, but I'm not prepared yet, so there's LD, to give me motivation and confidence.


If you're getting stressed, this will only hurt your chances of having a lucid dream. And if you're this wound up, then you're more likely than not to wake up from your first lucid within a couple of seconds.
I TOLD YOU, that for 3 months I didn't get stressed, and did my practice relaxed..and fucking nothing.

It's going to take time and practice before you're hurling cars around with your mind. Granted, it has been two years, which is longer than a lot of people, but everyone is different. It will come in time...
As I see, this is the same thing people say to the one who can't LD. But you don't understand yet. It's going to take time and practice? oh ok, are you kidding? I practiced excellently and patiently for months and months! with a lot of constancy!
And NO, it won't come in time, that just doesn't make any sense anymore, you can say that to somebody who did things wrong, but I did everything perfectly, and still didn't have one.

It's ridiculous.
