      Hi Clidu, I think a lot of us use some form of meditation and see positive results in our lucid dreaming. In fact the process of WILD is more or less a type of meditation/yoga. If you click on the link in the bottom of this post about Dream Yoga, you will find many examples of types of meditation related to lucid dreaming.

      I'm trying to get back into meditating daily again. Meditation teaches you to be mindful, present, and this is what's needed to become lucid in a dream. How long it takes I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure mostly any type of meditation will have its effect in your dream life.

      I meditate regularly, it definitely improves quality of sleep and can increase chances of having a LD depending on which meditation technique you're using. Mindfulness would be the best for this in my opinion.

      I love going on youtube and finding lots of different meditation videos with different types of beats. I recently found this one which focuses on the 10th chakra which is below your feet:

      I meditate between 20-40 minutes every day. It really does help with falling asleep and I do have more vidid dreams if I meditate before sleeping compared to when I don't do it. It's also an amazing tool for reducing anxiety and stress but I guess that depends on which form of meditation you do. I highly recommend it!

      If you have a few years of experience lucid dreaming under your belt then I don't think any technique really surpasses simply meditating every night for 20-30 minutes. You develop a level of awareness that carries over into your dreams, allowing you to be aware even in the periods of sleep *between* dreams. I find that when I'm consistently meditating for at least 20 minutes every night, not too long before bed, typically all of my dreams are lucid, and I have more than usual.

      My record is 13 lucid dreams in one night like this, while my record without nightly meditation was 5-6 in a night, and that was when I was taking some dream herbs.

      The other thing is meditation has so many other benefits that it's a shame so few people do it. Of all the healthy habits in my life, I'd say meditation is the single most beneficial one. It's had a ripple effect on almost every other area of my life, and I attribute most of the good things that have happened to me recently to taking up daily meditation back in 2015.

      If you start with meditation, and use it to assist lucid dreaming then everything is good.
      However for an individual that has had lucid dreams all their life, meditation can be a bit scary.

      My wife went away for a 10 day holiday with her father, and in that time, I had nothing much to occupy my days.
      So, out of boredom, I decided to watch a few videos on how to meditate.
      Read up lots of the techniques, and chose one that best suited me.
      After three days, I started with silly dreams that could not be controlled. I was just an observer.
      Next day, the dreams would come true to an alarming accuracy.
      Dreams of being other people, and predicting some of their experiences.
      Dreams of head on car crashes.
      The meditating had to stop when I dreamed of being a murder victim.
      I now actively avoid meditating until an explanation can be found.
      Pandora's box has been taped shut for the foreseeable future.

      I practice a kind of psychedelic meditation. I've found that I've had beautiful moments of psychedelic realisation in dreams that seem to surpass lucidity and become profound moments of meditation in and of themselves.

      I certainly become lucid in a different way than ever before. Meditation is definitely a key factor in that.

      I meditate before bed, and enjoy staying in a hypnagogic state, watching colours come and go....

      Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
