Hello all! My alias is Kremnari. I've been lurking off and on for over a year. Every time I read a bit of information I keep thinking, "now I can do it," and still spend the night in a dark dreamless state. So I figured I'm tired of that and decided to post an intro.

I am 26 and have had only a few scattered lucid dreams, mostly just stumbled upon. I never heard of the practice until about 2002, but didn't think anything of it back then. About 4 years ago is when I started thinking I could use LDs to my advantage and began haphazardly and half-a**ed attempts to become lucid. Since then I've had a half dozen or so.

My biggest barrier, I think, is the fact that I work nights and have a split and erratic sleep schedule. My girlfriend also thinks that "my cup is full" when it comes to LDing. I agree, but that doesn't help me make it any emptier (got any clues?); I've acquired many different courses, and have the knowledge, but it's mostly unpracticed.

Sitting here writing this has helped me once again see the one thing that is contributing to my difficulties, not actually doing something constructive, but my question to others is, what would you do to become lucid while working at a night job?

Thanks, and hello again!
Kremnari
