I think i should take everyones advice on just taking it eaz

i think i will stop being so anal about my bedtimes and instead fall asleep trying different methods. i just wish there was a way to control them betar so i can have them every night, as long as i sleep for that night.

okay here’s what you should do… you should take it easy! for sure… and if you want to try out a bunch of methods too, sure, do that… if your mind realises what you’re consistantly trying to do, it’s going to kick in… and if you find you learn a technique that works for you, keep going with it.
try everything, you know the thing about RC ? Well trying to do lucid dreams is the same thing, becuase you are realising a disconnection from reality and dream.

Of course relax, why would you want to master something that makes you stressed out and not feel good?
if you like to go a little nuts about things, and keep trying them and they make you feel good to go nuts about it, do that then.
whatever you want to do, just keep doing that, what’s the worst that can happen? You wont lucid dream?? well if you’re just relaxed and enjoying urself it wont matter if your relaxing and enjoying yourseld lucid dreaming, or in RL
