Thread: Thing to do when drifting to sleep

You know when you are going to sleep and your thoughts start drifting
? Well I find interfering with this is a good way to become lucid. You want lucid dreaming to be the last thing on your mind, but you want it more in your subconscious then the conscious. So here are two things that help me become lucid and have multiple time (last night for example). So lay in bed and get relaxed, let your thoughts drift but let them drift into imagery, eventually thoughts will become pictures (last night I started thinking, automatically, of two of my friends walking in a hall) by the time this is happening you aren't aware of this so you need to learn to catch yourself, now once you catch yourself in this thought, treat it as if it were a lucid dream. Say "oh I am dreaming!" then Proceed with whatever you do and then let these thoughts drift as you fall asleep. This is what I did last night and had 2 LDs. Another thing is when you have automtic ideas drifting try to associate itwith lucid dreaming (unintentionally) it's a bit difficult but if you think of it as you fall asleep, when you get these defying thoughts you might start thinking about lucid dreaming, then it's in your subconscious with is what you want. Anyways thanks for reading and tell me how this goes
