Can someone help me with the counting method technique? Im talking about the one where you count like "1. I am dreaming, 2. and so on".. A few questions:

Do I count out loud or in my head?

When do I do an Rc?

How will I know when I am in fact lucid dreaming?

Do I try to fall asleep while counting?

Is this method a good way to induce lucid dreaming?

If I end up lucid dreaming, will I wake up in my own bedroom or some random place?
