Thought I'd share my way of entering a lucid dream.

What I do is just breath and listen to that, in and out. Nothing else. It relaxes me till the point I will get into a dreamy state and all I have to do from here on is keeping myself focused and don't go wandering on random thoughts. After a while the random thoughts will create a dream and if I don't wander along with those thoughts I'll slip in lucid.

Although if I'm too tired I won't be able to do this because of my exhausted mind, thus no focus.

I hope this will help some people out there who struggle getting lucid =)

i do the same but i almost always at some point change sleeping position and then the complete blackout , as much as i went was auditory hallucinations even with me influencing them then as always , the blackout

So your tip is breathing.

Super.

I'm kidding, yeah even the basic stuff for helping relaxation and getting into the right frame of mind are overlooked under all the techniques to use. People miss out on the simple things like breathing and going to bed early and how to stay focused.

I do the same thing, but when I'm at the point of dreaming, like I can "see" things around me I start 'spinning' to make myself more lucid. I'm not sure if this makes sense at all but it works wonders to gain lucidity.
