I am not that good at lucid dreaming

I used to lucid dream a lot when i was in my early teens and enjoyed them immensely. everytime i realized i was dreaming i would try to manipulate what's going to happen next. It was difficult because the world was moving through time so fast that it was hard to control every aspect of time and space, so each passing second random things happen instead of what i try to plan it. The harder i try to manipulate, the shorter the duration i get to experience lucid dreaming, because i tend to wake up shortly after spending a few minutes enjoying absolute freedom. I want to start lucid dreaming again, but i want to see what kind of advice i can get from any of you on how to get the best experience. THanks

well son, there are alot of things we arent good at. haha just kidding.

on a note to this, I have been trying to OOBE, AP, or whatever the bla you wanna call it. I have done it 1 time but I dropped out, I would suggest goto google and seatch lucid dreaming or something and go from there, sometimes you find crap sites, other times you find good sites. Also look for hemi-sync tapes. I have been hearing that stuff works wonders, but i am one of them people who belive natrally is the best, besides if I wanted to AP or oobe now all I would have to do is get some NO2 or something.

Anyway just look for some sites that deal specifically with lucid deaming and I am sure sooner or later you will be able to find something.

and no my oobe exp was last year on thanksgiving.
