This is the second time I've come back to this forum and about the fifth time i've come back to lucid dreaming. In total I've probably had at most 30 lucids since beginning, the vast majority of which I got in my final month before I stopped.

I think the problem was that there were just too many different methods and techniques for me and I eventually just couldn't handle it. By the end my reality checks lasted about 5 minutes every half hour in an effort to combine every single technique I found. This time I will be sure to make a simple, followable plan. Hopefully I won't give up again !
