When you get started with lucid dreaming you want to be successful asap. I have been working on getting lucid dreams for several month but I have not got a lucid dream yet. But I still read about new techniques I want to try. So I think it would be helpful for beginners (especially for me) to have a general overview about which techniques are likely to be successful and which are more complicated. I know that this question is not easy to answer because it is different for everyone so this threat is meant to be a poll, not a discussion.

Which induction techniques have you tried and did they worked or not? Which is the most reliable one for you?
