Lucid Dreaming and OBE Discussion Board

Hello! I recently started practicing DCIM/indirect method, and my attempts will be logged here, along with questions I want to ask. I actually have some now.

Often, I'll find myself only remembering to practice it 5 minutes after I have already woken up in the night. Has anyone had similar experiences and found a way to combat it?

Another is that last night, I finally got the timing right, didn't move, tried to roll out and nothing happened. I then tried a hypnopompic technique and nothing happened. I then tried another, and another, and another, and before I knew it it was three minutes later and nothing had happened. I think it may have been a result of impatience and going through the techniques too fast.

If anyone has any advice, then it would be greatly appreciated!

Try to have a more relaxed approach when cycling through techniques and don't doubt when you have just woken up that you can separate.
