You’re probably not Sam. No. Ignore what I just said.
Er, welcome to the forum,
that introduction should go:

(The Big “Hi, I’m new here!” Topic - Part 7)
that question should go:

(Newbie Advice - Helpful Hints For The Aspiring Lucid Dreamer)
But since I don’t wanna be a flaming lamer,
the introduction: hey, good thing you retired the smoking bit… but did you know when you enter a LD you can smoke all you want?
the question: 1) Those vitamins may be helping, yes… I’ll go take my B-6 right now… 2) oh whenever I can’t sleep it takes me a looong time, perhaps over an hour. Maybe you can meditate before bed, or do what I do, forget LDing, think about the day and stuff, let my mind wander… just don’t force anything. Force nothing. If you find yourself coming back to LDs, don’t force yourself to stop. Usually I wander to stuff I could be doing while in an LD, although I try not to dwell too much on erotic fantasies because well, er, it keeps you awake. I’ll bet you know how. Have I been talking too long? Er… oh. The average is 1-3 months, but I’ve seen much faster than that.
