I also tried self-hypnosis for LDing lately, with 1 very short LD resulting from it. When you do the self-hypnosis part, how do you involve LDing into it? Does it include the words "lucid dream(ing)"? If your subconscious doesn't recognize the *words* you could still imagine you having an LD in addition to saying the words in ordner to tell your mind what you mean. I think that might work (as it sounds logical to me), I'm no self-hypnosis expert though ;P.
