I have been training my prospective memory so I have been having lucid dreams at a higher rate indirectly.

But when I try the mantra before going back to sleep I end up staying up and losing focus quite fast. So I am sure my lucids have not been a result of the mantras but prospective training memory.

Any pointers?
How do you all go about your milds?

I am trying to use the "exploring the world of lucid dreaming" method.
