I found some computer programs in another topic on this forum, and hope that the RC's will be able to help me in my attempt. I will try it tonight and post my results tomorrow. The hard thing is I don't fall asleep as quickly as I used too, I fear that this may also make a lucid dream a harder goal to achieve.

EDIT

Also when I was younger there was one dream I could not control once a week I dreamed I was claiming my stairs and then the stairs would fall (like in scooby-doo) and at the bottom was a pit with something to kill me! Fire, peronas, snakes, sharks, etc.
Why did I dream this and what did it mean? Also if I become lucid again will such dreams come back to me?
Hi...it could be the way U think as U get older and STRESS of living in the real world... I used to be able to dream what I wanted easily when I was younger but now it's very difficult. I found out it was largely caused by my thinking...it had shifted from believeing anything as real or possible to only afew things are possible untill proven as real. Maybe U lost faith in ScoobyDoo and the unreal and lost lucid dreaming with it...just my 2 cents... Doing RCs all day long is the hardway to get LDs...I think U should go deeper into what U believed in when U were younger...U'll have to do some 'inner work' to figure out what made U have LDs everynight.
