I was wondering if there’s such a thing as trying too hard to have a LD. My LD’s have always come to me naturally, and i just naturally found ways to get them. But im willing to try these new techniques, im just scared i might try TOO hard and loose my abilitly to LD, or just not be able to have them.
You’ll never LOSE your ability all together. You may need to take a break from it once in a while, but you’ll always be able to do it again. 
Indeed, just try some techniques for a while, and if you think “hey, I used to get more without”, then just drop them. But I think that will not be the case because a bit of talent and techniques go together very well! Good luck .
i got my first LD the day i gave up and now im back to trying and not trying on and off just to get LD on purpose
Loosing my skill was something I was worried about allso, I think LDing is alot like riding a bike, once you know you never forget.
Yeah, you could try too hard (I’ve done that before) but I don’t think you’ll ever lose your LD"s.
I had 2 DILD LD’s a long time ago, without even trying for them. Now I’ve been trying to MILD and WILD and it’s just not working for me. I’ve heard a lot of people have an LD after they’ve took a break and stopped trying for a while. Maybe I should try that… 
btw, what are some of your own techniques for LDing?
well for me,
I just stay up really late, and get myself over tired, then when i go to sleep i make sure its as dark as it can possibly be! then i just think about really random thoughts, and stuff i did that day, and for some strange reason, it makes me have lucid dreams 80% of the time, like…when i stay up so late, I feel like im already half-asleep, so when i really DO fall asleep, I cant really tell, because im already so tired! thus making it really easy to control my dreams.
I should try that some time. I’m kinda at that half-awake stage right now…lol 
Yeah it’s true, it happened to my friend and myself sort of. He tried for two days, didnt work, and then didnt try at all, then it worked.
I try my own teqhnices and I don’t know if they are working. I’ve tried three times also, at first, I didnt know what LD’s was, then I got one unintentionally, but then 1 second after i forgot. But that 1 second was so cool it got me into it. So I read a little on this site, and didn’t quite like the best teqhnicqe, the one when ur supposed to wake up after 6 hours and then step into your own dream. I just tried all the times to step into them right away. I don’t think they worked, cause the two first nights nothing happened, then the third night, I think I managed to think when i wake up, i will be lucid over 1 000 times. Anyway I just dreamed a normal dream and woke up, several times, then it got 10 AM, and I just went to sleep again (sleeping for about 10 hours at that point), without thinking about it, then i woke up in my own bed, doing a reality check since i thought i was awake for real, but it turned out i was dreaming, then suddenly i felt it. At first everything was normal, but after the reality check i could see how everything was NOT normal. Just like when you watch a movie and there are clues all the way, but when you get to the ending and it’s shown, ur like, oh my god, it was so obvious, how could i not see…
It is certainly possible to stop using a technique, but when doing RC (for example) become a habit… Have you ever tried to get rid of a bad habit?
