That is because the only thing stopping you is your unbelief. This site gives you many ways to deal with your unbelief, but this is more of a head on approach. Most people should know how to increase their own confidence without a tutorial, but a lot of them think that you need techniques for things, but techniques are just if you are struggling.

For instance: controlling fire is normally considered a harder LD thing to do, but I do it in almost every LD I have, because I love fire and know I can control it in dreams. Because of confidence.

also: I flew easily the first time I LDed, taking an entire car into the air with me and then jumping out. The next time I LDed I questioned my ability to fly and I failed at it. It only got worse after that until I tried visualizing myself flying throughout the day, now I know that I won't have any trouble with it. Confidence.

Every technique is just changing what you have confidence in. Some people have confidence in dream materials, so they need a broom, "Magic Pill", or fairy dust to fly, when all they really need to do is believe.
