Thread: I can't lucid dream :(

First off, I've heard it many times that people get told that they are dreaming in a dream and then continuing what they are doing without caring. I myself have had a giant TV screen on the wall having text about my lucid dream achievements, but I didn't realise I was dreaming.

You have to improve overall awareness in order to notice that you are dreaming. This happens by doing reality checks every day, questioning yourself; are you dreaming? If awareness is low, you might as well have a crowd shout that you are dreaming but the information doesn't "click" to it's place.

Other good things to remember:

- Keeping a dream journal; to remember dreams better and improve overall recall. (How good is your recall?)
- Motivation.
- Techniques (which you have been trying, good).
- Patience; an ability to lucid dream usually isn't learned very easily, it requires time.
- Good amount of sleep
- Noticing dream signs

P.S. I don't really see that as a wall of text.
