any suggestions on how to not get anticipated?
its okay
lucidity is as easy as reading these words
it comes by intention alone
all the methods for being lucid ,
it is all easy
one day, you will be, reading these words,
and you will be lucid,
and say
wow, this is a dream
and one day
you will be drinking a glass of water
and you will stop to wonder
is this a dream
and the answer will be yes
and in the great lucidity you will have plenty of free time
and will be fully satisfied and overjoyed in your edeavours
It’s as easy as riding a bike, you just gotta learn how to get up on that bike and not fall over.
you know, that’s great to read. 
Gives me (and lots of other people, I guess) hope!
BTW, great sig 
Zach, the important thing is ignore the failures and focus on anything good or new. If you get HI, for example, but don’t get lucid, think “well, at least I got HI! I must be close!”
For the next week, forget about Lding. Start up again next week. Maybe it’ll help you out.
Just my two cents.
Instead of resisting this anticipation, you can use it instead to remind you to make more frequently RC’s and think about dreaming. Consider it being highly motivated.
