Becoming Lucid

I can recall up to four dreams a night, but becoming Lucid just seems so far out of reach. I think the Problem is I just cant control myself enough to do a RC. Things in my dreams are so chaotic, I have absolutly no logic what-so-ever. Anybody have any suggestions?

All of these are common problems. I could give you advice, but most of it can be found in the tutorial section. Get to know the tutorials, find some that look interesting and read them. They are a great resource for both newcomers and veterans alike. Specifically, you may want to check out the How to Lucid Dream tutorial, and tutorials on dream control. Good luck, and we hope to see you around the community as a regular!

That's a reason for not becoming lucid: when you think it's hard, it is hard. When you think it's easy, it is easy.

Yeah, actuallly a lot, if not most, of Lucid Dreaming is simply the placebo effect; if you tell yourself something will work, it will work. You have to believe in yourself, and have faith that what you are doing will work. You have to expect that what you are going to do will yield results...and then it will!

hey man, I think if you try to WILD you will become lucid. I become lucid 90% of the tme when I try and properly WILD. 4 dreams a night is amazing! good stuff, you are well on your way. Reality checking is something I do sometimes in the waking world and I only really find I become lucid when I snap into remembering I was asleep rather then reality checking. But after I do become lucid I reality check anyways because it's a lot of fun! My phone looks so funny when I'm dreaming, and my hands looks like I am on a lot of drugs lol

I did successfully induce a very vivid dream when I attempted to WILD.
but I was still unaware that I was dreaming. only tried it once tho. ima try again tonight and see how it goes. (Being Positive) I'm pretty sure it's gonna work. Thanx to everyone's help. I like the ppl on this site. All very friendly.
