Moved to Attaining Lucidity

Keeping a Dream Journal is, in my opinion, the key to success. Be sure to make an entry every time you awaken, even if it is only one word. Once your journal has several entries in it, you will be able to identify dream signs which can be used to identify when you are dreaming.

Becoming more aware of your surroundings is also a big help. If you look at a clock and then look at it again a few seconds later, is it an entirely different time?

For me, the light switch almost always triggers a lucid. Electrical and mechanical devices most often do not behave as expected in a dream. The next time the computer screen looks strange or the light won't turn on, perform a reality check. You might just get lucky.
