Don't even argue with me guys. We all know a technique like the one I quoted only works if you're an experienced lucid dreamer to begin with. No novice will be able to use that.

This aint a beginners forum here.


Conclusion
Getting up an hour early, staying awake for an hour or more reading about lucid dreaming, doing MILD briefly, then taking a morning nap is an excellent means of achieving lucid dreams. This technique is one of the most powerful, promising means of achieving lucidity. (Steven LaBerge)
