Hello DV.

I have been trying to become 'lucid' for about 2-3 weeks. I am 14 yrs old (15 in january) and I go to sleep anywhere from 11 until 1 and I get up at 7:15 on schooldays (12 at weekends). I have never had a lucid dream but what got me interested was once I started to enter SP. I asked someone about it and they told me about lucid dreaming. I have tried 2 techniques, counting my breathing and SP. I have half-managed sleep paralysis twice but I fell asleep the rest of the time. I am extremely enthusiastic about lucid dreaming and have read a lot about it. I also try to regularly do reality checks. I am aiming to do a reality check every 40-45 mins but at the moment I am only managing one every 1 and a half hours. Could someone please suggest anything to help me. Techniques, hints, whether I should buy a book on it or get an LD Device. Thank You.
