For some reason, I am always discouraged from spending my time trying to lucid dream. For example, I don't have enough time to try to WILD or wake up in the middle of the night.

Also, whenever I have a lucid dream on accident, without actively trying it (about once a week these days) my control of the dream is actively slipping. It's as though I can feel myself losing control. Perhaps it has something to do with my sleep cycle being over or something to that extent.

This type of problem is annoying. Can someone help me be more interested in lucid dreams and learn how to prolong them, so as they do not literally slip away from me?
