Trouble trying to LD

Well, Ive been trying the following things, I've combined many different theory's on LDing into one
- I say to myself, tonight I'm going to fly (ext)
- I picture someone telling me that i am dreaming when I'm flying (note this is all before I'm actually dreaming I'm just visualizing this)
The only thing this is really good at is having normal dreams
When i tried telling myself '' Tonight i will fly''
Il have a dream about something completely different
So in a way i can control ''When '' i want to have a dream, i just cant choose what kind of dream and if i want to LD
I cant do the go to sleep wake up go back to sleep thing because my parents go to work early, So if anyone could help me achieve lding At a normal bedtime it would be greatly appreciated .

Hi, U could try setting an intent to fly to a real place, a personal method I call TILD..Task Induced Lucid Dream:

Prerequisits for this method....1) U have to pick a place/spot near Ur
bedroom and that U can see it from Ur bedroom window.

2) U must like the place/spot U choose and connect it with becoming lucid by knowing the purpose of flying there is to be aware that Ur dreaming and do XYZ task. (Very important)

3) Try not to change or have more than one spot/place as it confuses the subconcious. Choose carefully and make it special.

The Method.....1) Just before U go to bed...go to the window and while looking at the spot/place intend Ur going to fly there now not later but now to do XYZ task...it has to be a desperate intent like U have a burning desire for Ur reward when U fly and reach there.

2) After U feel that Ur sure U can fly there
go to sleep thinking lightly about flying there...the next dream should have exactly what U intended. At some point in the dream..U will somehow become lucid and remember Ur task and carry it out. It's happened that way 3 times for me. If it dosen't happen the first time..keep trying. It took me about a couple of weeks for it to work.

Hi, how's it going? Btw although it's not good to change the spot/place it's not a rule that U can't. If U feel U need to change then by all means do so. I have changed my spot/place few days ago to a more accesible one. It's better than the roof where flying is needed which I come to learn wastes dream time if Ur not used to flying...;). I think it would be better/easier to choose ground level spot/places where U can actually go to IRL.
