I joined this site because I'm on the verge of going lucid and was wondering if you guys had any tips or suggestions
Basically I've been performing RCs and stuff, but I still don't do it in my dreams (i've only been doing them for a couple of weeks), but the last two nights I was really close to lucid dreaming. The dreams were really vivid and I was consciously thinking, as If I were actually awake and thinking. The most interesting dream happened last night where I dreamed that I was trying to go to sleep and have a dream. In my dream I got into a bed in some room (i never seem to dream about actual places I've been) and closed my eyes and thought about my target dream, but there was too much noise there so I got up and picked up my stuff from the table (laptop, few other things) and walked out, eventually walking upstairs inside another building and seeing my friend who was studying to be a photographer (not really, just in the dream). Her teacher wanted her to take a picture of me, but I suddenly became extremely tired and just wanted to sleep so I told her teacher I looked really tired, but he said "you look fine" so I started following them to the picture area but I was so tired that my eyes kept closing as I walked and eventually I fell asleep in the dream, which made me wake up.
Is it usual to try to dream in a dream? I'm curious as to how many of you have had a similar experience, and how you managed to go lucid
