Hey I just found out about lucid dreaming about 2 weeks ago and to me it seems really cool. I've been viewing these forums and ld4all.com for a while. I remembered when I was a kid and I had the most vivid lifelike dreams and I sware I even felt pain in this one dream, and when I flew in my dreams it was really scary. I'd really like to learn to LD but I am having trouble with it.
For instance when I try to WILD I feel like i'm entering a dream for a few seconds then I wake back up. Then like 10 minutes after that I just fall asleep without even realizing it and I wake up and it's kind of dissapointing because I feel like I could LD with the tools I learned on this site.
When I try WBTB I get up to turn off the alarm, might go to relieve my bladder if I have to . Then get back to bed and try to MILD and/or HILD, one time I stayed up for an hour and even tried to WILD. Then i'm either too tired to even care about LDing or I can't focus. Do any of you guys have any suggestions?
