So technically I'm a newbie to the site, but I have been lurking Dreamviews as a guest for a while. I'll post in the Newbie section anyway because I've yet to have a lucid dream! :/ I've been working on LDing since i started school back in August (I know, not a great time to start when i had the whole summer to work on it, but i hadn't actually gotten into it until later). My closest experience has been a 5 second momentary realization of lucidity followed by me promptly getting excited and wanting to tell my friend, telling myself to calm down, aaaaand then waking up furious/excited. I've tried DILDing with daily RCs, i try to WILD every night, trying with the body tenses as well as the cardboard wristband (Inception technique), and I have gotten to the point where my body starts to tingle and shift which I will assume is SP. I know what a hypnagogic hallucination is and when to recognize it, but even through all this, my efforts remain fruitless. If anything, I've taken steps backwards since I don't hallucinate like I did when I first started :/ Is there anyone who could even SLIGHTLY help me out? I even have 35 dreams logged. I also have a friend with a similar issue. My only theory is that my school schedule is conflicting with me.
