I'm not sure why or how it helped me, but it helped.

A long while ago I decided to dabble in meditation for the first time. I started with chakra meditation. Who knows if I was even doing it right, but I just somehow did it. It's funny, I even remember that night I couldn't sleep after doing it, which is something that meditation encourages.

But after that I started getting LD mayhem. Like every 2-3 nights was a lucid if not more often. Before I had done the meditation I would rarely get them, in fact, at that point I was even having a dry spell. After like a year of recording dreams, studying induction techniques, ect., I was having so much trouble. But somehow this meditation just broke the dry spell.

Eventually the effects did diminish, as other things in life just got in the way. However, it only took that one meditation session to get all of that. The first time meditating since that time was actually today. I have no idea how or why but man it turned my LDing around.

Maybe it was just a raising of self-awareness, an encouragement of lucidity in the waking life. But I can tell you I have never had much success with any technique - but somehow this did it.

You might not get results like I did if you try it. Hell, most people don't seem to need to resort to things like meditation; I seem to have a knack for not being able to LD easily. But I would encourage you to at least try it; even if it doesn't help you LD it will help you with your waking peace of mind.
