Stages to becoming a successful lucid dreamer?

[r2d2651]

1. Start a DJ 2. Recall at least one dream a night (optional): Once you have a couple dozen dreams written down, search for Dream Signs. 3. Start experimenting with induction techniques. Is it that simple or am I missing something? Since I took a break from my LD attempts, my recall has skyrocketed and I MIGHT have had an LD the other night but I'm not sure...

Consistency and motivation is very important. And when you say "start experimenting with induction techniques" what do you mean exactly? It's very important to stick to a routine for a long time before switching. Stick to the same routine for at least 2 months before switching.

There are more stages than just that. After about 4 months of your steps 1-3 I was having lucid dreams regularly, but they were short with poor control. I got very frustrated with having lucid dreams, but not being able to do all the things I wanted to do in them. So I quit..... So there are the stages... 4. Regular Lucid Dreams 5. Mastery of Control Two very different things in my opinion.
