See, normally, when you mantra/ auto-suggest, you'd say something along the lines of 'I will lucid dream' or 'a dream character will tell me i am dreaming'. But, you could be wording the mantra to make your brain think Lding is hard. try to word it differently. Think of lucid dreaming like something as easy as eating pie, and word your mantras as if you were gonna eat pie. Say something like 'I can't wait to [insert LD goal here]' or ' My LD will be so awesome tonight'

let me know what you think
