I'm new. Best way to fall asleep to gain Lucidity?

I have been trying to have a LD for about a week now with no results. I'm not letting that discourage me though. But I have a question, mabye it's the way I fall asleep?

I usually imagine a scene and let the scene carry out and I guess I fall asleep to that. I've recently been using a MP3 that has music and a guy saying that I am aware of myself dreaming etc. But it hasn't worked either. Any tips?

It's all about knowing you're dreaming whilst still in the dream. This is very possible and you need to believe that you CAN do this. Start by improving your dream recall by writing down your dreams in a Dream Journal. Read about the different techniques but the main one most people focus on in the begining is the DILD one. Go around and do Reality Checks a few times an hour and you're on your way!

Look forward to becoming lucid when you go to bed, set up a goal and you should have one soon enough.

good luck!
