I know this question has probably been asked before. I did a search but the results were too vague...maybe I didn't ask the question properly.

My question is: Once we have learned to do Lucid Dreaming, why can't we do it at will? What prevents us from having a Lucid Dream every time we try?

I've noticed that the amount of Lucid Dreams that I have decreases slightly after I've had a good week or month. The same techniques that produced 7 LD's in February for me have produced only 2 so far in March. My average is about 3-4 per month.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why it's such a hit or miss thing when you use the same techniques every time?

State of mind? Physical condition? Any ideas? Maybe it's better not to be able to have them at will...it makes it that much better when we do have one.
