Last night may have been the closest I've been to having a LD. I was told by a dream character, a friend I haven't seen in years, that I was dreaming. It was blindingly obvious and thankfully I took him seriously and did a reality check, but that was the extent of it.

I actually stopped trying to LD a week or so ago having never managed it, despite years of practice of different techniques, going through periods of motivation and non-motivation, so I can't put this experience down to any particular technique, it just happened and thankfully it was vivid enough to remember on wakening. My sleep and waking times were no different to normal.

What I would like to know if there was any way of making the most of this experience now that it has happened once. Can I some how use the memory of last night's dream to make the occurrence of realisations more frequent? I know that it was a valuable thing to have remembered on wakening.
