Thread: please, help me.

stop trying so hard

just relax for a bit

I have taken breaks and slowed down and stuff, didnt really change any thing.

When you do reality checks don't just go through the motions. That doesn't help at all. Realize what you are doing, why you are doing it, and what is going on around you. You can't just cruise through the motions and hope for the best results.

I do, I really think about it, I truly try and question it all.

As said, you are trying too much hard. You don't need to give a break, but give more time to it. Usually, only 2 months is not enought. Leave the techniques for a bit, focus on your recall, since you said it's getting worse, see what happens.

I would say to just chill on the induction techniques for a while, don't do any reality checks (unless they happen naturally) and don't try to "stay aware." Just focus on recording your dreams in great detail for a month or so and see if you can get to a point where you have long and deeply detailed dream memories that you record on a daily basis. Also, don't just write in your dream journal, but read it too, and see if you can start to get a sense or a feel for what its like to be dreaming. None of this should be forced, do it because you want to do it, not because you're trying to get some great lucid dream experience out of all this work. If you take this approach I could almost guarantee you'll start to have lucid dreams naturally within a couple of months.
