So it's been nearly 2 years since I've had a LD. Yeah, I know, it's been horrible. I didn't have too many back then, but I had enough that I understood it, and could control a decent amount when in one.

It seems that my problem is attaining Lucidity...(isn't that everyone's?). I currently don't keep a dream journal, but did for about 6 months to a year. I don't anymore because I can usually remember about 3-4 dreams a night in pretty good detail, so I don't find it too necessary anymore (might be part of my problem).

I have a list of dream signs a couple pages long. I know that's weird, but they are things that occur in at least 25% of my dreams. Some are in about 75%. Is this normal? Should I narrow the list down to the most occurring? My problem with these, is that during a dream, I NEVER realize that it's a dream sign. It will just happen, and I pass it by, and don't pay any attention. I have particular situations that occur, that I should easily be able to see as a dream sign, but I just follow along, and don't realize it, then I kick myself once I wake up.

Another thing that happens, is while I'm in a normal dream, I'll realize I'm dreaming, but not to the point I would consider it a lucid dream. It's not like the sudden realization..."I'm dreaming!" And I can start to take control of things. It's just like, "yeah, I'm dreaming, so I can change this thing that's annoying", then I just fall back into the normal dream, with or without changing that annoying thing (if that was the situation, as it was last night).

So far, I only know that I've had DILD's, I've never had any WILD's. I've tried WILD's, but never with success. Usually, my realizations into LD will be completely random, and I don't even reality check, because it's obvious that I'm LDing.

I don't think I've had a Dream Sign send me into a LD even once.

I need help! What can I do to get back into it? I've been reading through posts all day today, just trying to get inspiration, and get it into my subconscious. Anyone with any advise? Thanks so much.
