So yeah my title basically explains my dilemma. Lucid Dreaming still is one of the biggest things I yearn to do, it's sounds so amazing and such a fulfilling experience, but I really haven't even gotten in close :(.
It's been 2 years ever since I first came across the subject of lucid dreaming, and it was back when people said all you need to do is lie in bed and count letters without moving for 20-25 minutes. I quickly learned it's not that easy. After I came across LD4all and Dreamviews I learned the true difficulty of lucid dreaming. And to this day I have not succeeded. I've maybe had a few dreams that were close, but obviously not close enough. To outline my problems:
1. I cannot DJ, I've tried but I always forget during my busy schedule and in fact it has come to the point where I can't even fit it into my schedule. I know this is a huge loss but I just really can't do anything about it. Any tips?
2. I have dry skin/itchy skin so it makes lying in bed still 10 times harder. I feel like this is making it worse when it comes to relaxing my body and staying still to make my mind think my body is asleep, so I don't know what to do or what to think if I get that insane sensation.
3. No method has really worked for me, so I switch a lot. I've tried a lot of user-made methods, MILD, WILD, SSILD, FILD, and a lot others and none of them have worked. I'm not sure what road to start on if I hadn't had success.
4. In dreams where I realize I'm dreaming (like nightmares) I tell myself I'm dreaming and then wake up. I'm guessing this is because this only happens in nightmares which are really scary and when I say "I'm dreaming" my mind wants me to wake up rather than make me lucid, but ultimately I'd rather become lucid.
These 4 issues are the biggest ones I've faced so far, but really it's just finding the time and motivation to fit it in my sleep schedule. it really sucks losing sleep or focusing deeply for weeks and not getting a single result. But then again I don't want to have to endure ANOTHER 2 years without a LD, that would suck so much.
I think that's all for now, let me know if you need anymore info. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
