Firstly, to dream views!

Here are the tips that I have:

1. You need to ditch your current method. Because it relies on seeing that "L" on your hand in a dream. So if your subconscious doesn't put that on your hand you won't become lucid.

2. You should take a look at the beginner guide for lucid dreaming. It is stickied on the newbie forum page.

3. Another thing you should look at is puffins SAT guide. It is somewhere in the wiki. If you can't find it then message me and I'll send you a link. (I'm running behind right now).

4. A technique I use is MILD. Its great for beginners so look for tutorials on that.
