That's good advice. Nope not going to give up.

I realized today what it was I was missing. I hadn't been working on my self-awareness as much. I knew there was something missing or doing wrong and I just couldn't put it to words so I rambled on hoping it would click. I reread Sageous' intro to his class and I realized it where he talks about the fundamentals of lucid dreaming as a 3 legged stool. The dreamstate, memory, self-awareness. I got so caught up in techniques that I forgot the fundamentals. So today instead of the tech I am going to continue developing my self awareness. I have also come up with some methods that might help it along as well. I guess lucid dreaming isn't always about getting lucid it's about self discovery and the higher self...It's a lifestyle and a journey.
