Hey everyone
It seems like this is the place to introduce myself, so here goes. My name is Mark (are we supposed to refer to eachother with our usernames or our real names?), I'm a 20 year old student in the ridiculous country Northern Ireland. I've been visiting this site for a good few months now and have decided it's about time to interact with people here because I've been attempting to lucid dream for a couple of years with very limited success and have been annoying my friends by telling them all about my attempts despite knowing full well I'm boring them to tears. I've tried various techniques (i even bought that Bradley Thomson lucid dreaming kit that's advertised on google searches) but experienced little joy. There have been a few occasions where I've become lucid, usually using the wild technique, but as soon as I realise I'm dreaming I get so excited I immediately wake up, which is really frustrating. So, I'm sure this is a common request, but if anyone would give me advice on how to control my excitement it would be very helpful.

Cheers!
