Hi, I just started researching lucid dreaming about a month and a half ago. I have had a few successful ones. I go to school on a regular basis so I mainly practice it on weekends although I do attempt it every night. I would like to know what are some techniques to improve my chances of having an LD? Other than dream recall because I have excellent dream recall and I do keep a dream journal. I also have trouble initially falling asleep because i can not clear my mind. Any suggestions on increasing my chances, and a way to clear my mind before going to sleep??
