Hello, Everyone I am new here. I am 24 yrs old from Canada and I knew about Lucid Dreaming for some time now but I can't say I've ever considered it up until now. I guess I'll start by mentioning what made me consider doing it and what held me back before. I was always intrigued by lucid dreaming so what made me do it now? Simple I told myself one time if only I can stop sleeping to stay productive. I know some of you may find that weird, but it was a thought and then it hit me Lucid Dreaming! I said if I can be aware in my sleep which was the only thing I knew about LD, then could I control it? I was also to begin architecture by end of this year which involved creativity so asked myself again, could I gain new skills in my dream? So my curiosity led me to research on LD and the more and more I read the more I grew fond on LD. What held me back before was ignorance and fear I didn't know much about it and thought I could get stuck in my dream and die!

Where I am now, I want to know what are the steps as i'm laying in bed to enter lucid dreaming if I do RC and repeat mantras i'll just end up sleeping normally from being tired im confused here any advice?
