Okay, firstly, I have pretty good dream recall. I can usually recall about two dreams per night. My problem is pretty classical: I know when I've been dreaming AFTER I've already been dreaming, but during the dream I have no idea no matter how bizarre the dream is. Thus, I have no chance to attain any sort of lucidity. I've tried the MILD technique and I simply fall asleep while I'm attempting it and start dreaming again -- without lucidity. Not surprisingly, then, my attempts at controlling the contents of my dream have been unsuccessful as well; for example, I'm a reader of Lovecraft so I attempted to concentrate on his fictional town of Dunwich, hoping that I might induce a dream set therein. Strangely enough, even though this failed, I did end up dreaming about a song with lyrics that mentioned a character in Dunwich! The same thing happened last night; when I once again tried to imagine myself in a dark, foggy forest I ended up dreaming about a special edition of Psycho!

I will be really grateful if someone can help me learn how to become lucid in my dreams. I am a heavy sleeper, so alarm clocks absolutely don't worok with me no matter how loud they are (they usually end up waking everyone else in the house EXCEPT me, even when placed next to my pillow&#33.
