The first try I succeeded.
I mean before I was just knowing them like that and the first time that I read about LD I was having one.
But im not doing it at every night like its 2 night that I didnt have one.

I have the motivation and try real hard, but everytime I come close ( dizzy feeling ) I start thinking I'm doing it, I'm doing it, and then my mind gets distracted and Im back to scratch and start all over again. The problem is that my anxiety gets in the way and messes up my flow.

Just say to yourself that is a dream , dont try to force thing you will never get result. And when you know youre lucid dont be excited ans you should do what you want in your dream.

motivation definitively and curiosity!
thats actually proven by the fact that many peeps have their first LD after having heard bout the fact that it actually works

Before I fall asleep, I lay there and clear my mind of everything. Then as I relax, I say to myself, "I am relaxing, I am going to sleep" over and over again until I finally do fall asleep. Then the next thing I know, I am dreaming away until I wake up the next morning.

From personal experience, what really trigs my LD's (even though they're not that advanced this far XD) is reading about it, almost obsessing it, because then, even when I am not thinking about it, indeed it turns out I am. However, if the reading (or watching movies or whatever) abou LD's stop, my mind doesn't take it in, and I forget about it. Does this indicate a very shallow interest or is my mind just easy on forgetting things?

I hate to disagree...
Without motivation, where are you getting? How can you ever hope to get there? It's the biggest key to LD'ing, but probably not the only key.
I think another key to LD'ing is getting that first LD. After getting the first LD, the next one is slightly easier to get, and so on. Kinda like practicing a sport. Once you perform a specific technique properly, it becomes easier to do a second and third and fourth time because you KNOW how to do it. What I'm trying to say is that it still might be hard to do it the second and third time, but you know what you're supposed to do.
But of course, without motivation, where do you go from there?

I definitely disagree....I almost never have more than one or two lucid dreams in one month unless I am highly motivates to have more. Motivation ties directly into willpower and willpower is the most powerful way to achieve lucid dreams.

I would partly agree that a strong motivation is one of the cornerstones of lucid practice, BUT too much of a good thing can destroy even your slightest chance of becoming lucid, or you get frustrated because of painstaking slow progress (if any at all), and so on (been there  )

Hey, just registered, so glad lots of people are trying this. So, is there anyone who has or can on COMMAND lucid dream? If so, how long EXACTLY did it take you to learn how to do this? I have only been trying for a week and a half, so I know I shouldn't expect any extreme results, but since I have been following my rules in the book I have, I have actually had LESS dreams then usual...Is this normal at first? or is there some technique I should try to improve my chances of having a LD.?

There are some people here who can LD by willpower, but I don't remember specifically who. Anyway, I guess it would take a fair amount of practise, just like any LDing technique would.

Personality of a person makes all the difference. Moreover morale. I can do it because I said so just now. If I said I can't, well I'd be right too.

definitely work and practice. my smoking interferes with this slightly. however i still have had plenty of lucid dreams because i worked for them i got what i got for the amount of work i did. however there are certain aspects to inducing a lucid dream that could be seen as detrimental to a full nights sleep. i mean say you wake up to do a WBTB, unless you keep everything dark your melatonin is shot, sometimes certain people can't fall back asleep (me) falling asleep while remaining conscious might inadvertantly keep you up longer. so what should be done? should lucid dreaming be abandoned because of these reasons? NO!. whats need is a resolution for these problems for those who have them. Now the resolutions vary by the dreamers innate abilities and actions, their choice and execution of the techniques, circumstance, and among other things the results they get. would saying to a dreamer "WBTB isn't working for you so you should try WILD" be fair?to an extent maybe however his trust in a lucid dreamer might make him completely abandon a technique that may come in useful. so the question is "is substitute a logical path?" yes and no. on the one hand he'd be giving up on something just to take the path of least resistance, but then again the goal is to have a lucid dream and not to become a die hard. so what i would say is do what feels right to achieve your goal but don't give up on the tough path. with more info this can be made clearer but we don't have that yet. so say the guy that can't fall back asleep is still having trouble, suggestions i would give are " try the method with less waking time between, make sure you eliminate the possiblility of disturbance, trying helps too"
