The next thing I suggest you do is to check out the tutorials on specific techniques that the staff have written here, Induction Methods and Techniques. All of these tutorials are written in a very stream lined fashion, and contain just the basic fundamental steps you will need to get started.

I hope to save you some time by giving you a link to a thread we all put together on the topic Sleep Paralysis. There has been so much misinformation and confusion on this topic, that after a few days on the sight, you would surely run into confusing statements refering to SP. Save yourself some frustration and read this post if you want to know about SP, Sleep Paralysis Explained

Welcome to DV, california40! One thing to keep in mind is that lucid dreaming is most likely to be successful if you are well rested and get plenty of sleep. If you have been feeling sleepy lately, could it be that you are not getting enough hours of sleep regularly enough? If so, you may want to catch up on your sleep first, and then back into the swing of lucid dreaming practice. Wishing you successes in lucid dreaming!
