Hi, I'm new, but I've been reading this forum quite a bit.

I started lucid dreaming a few years ago, relying mainly on DILD techniques- reality checking, dream journaling, etc. I had some mild success, but really not enough, and I was off and on.

The last month or two, I resumed lucid dreaming, but using my own techniques. This has been more successful. However, it's still not consistent as I'd like it to be.

My own technique just relies on a mixture of doing stuff like reading dreamviews before bed, closely observing hypnagogic imagery while I'm drifting off to sleep, and getting excited about lucid dreaming before I go to sleep. (no dream journal, reality checks, etc.- i have decent dream recall without a journal and reality checks have only been of use to me in dreams). However, I might have 2-3 lucid dreams one week, 0 the next, 1 the next, 2 the next, etc. (1 or 2 every night is more desirable)

I think we're all different, and different things work for different people... any tips/thoughts/ideas are welcome, thanks.
