Hi All,

Having just achieved my first night of LD-ing (after actively intending to LD), i realised the reason I had failed in all my previous attempts - dream vividness.

It seems to me that dream vividness is the key component to me becoming lucid as I am more aware of my surroundings and better able to determine if what i'm seeing is out of the ordinary or not. RC-ing throughout the day or on noticing dream signs does not seem to help me much at all because non-vivid dreams mean I am unable to notice my dreamsigns in the first place.

Which leads me to my question: is there any way of permanently increasing vividness in dreams? This could take on any form including mental exercises, pills, etc etc

Any help would be much appreciated!
