In my life I've lucid dreamed once and that was many years ago. The dream was short. These days I'm trying very hard to lucid dream again but I can't. I usually try to lucid dream in the morning. After waking up I drift back to sleep again when my mind remains still conscious. So, when the dream begins I don't understand I'm dreaming but in the middle of the dream I do really understand that I'm actually dreaming. I try to stop the events occuring in my dream and control it but I can't. What can I do?

    I lucid dream almost every day for the past 2 years. I hate it. Most of them are nightmares or very fucked up dreams.

    From what I have read, lucid dreaming takes a lot of practice. To be able to maintain awareness in the dream and have some sort of control over it takes quite a few tries for most people. There are a lot of techniques and youtube videos on the internet that try to help people with this.

    But I would caution anyone about going down that path. I have heard that some people who get really into lucid dreaming wind up regretting it and have to "break the cycle" further down the line. I have even heard some stories of people who can't tell if they're dreaming or if they're in reality anymore.
