[b]Easy things I did:

1) learn what the stiffs say about how tos and dos and don'ts of lucidity.

2) refer to a psychoactive site, anywhere that they post hallucination reports, compare and contrast these with what the experts say. (errowid is good)

3)Meditate! If you don't know how, go visit a couple of sangas, it is so easy -do nothing and think nothing. A clear head will give you clear dreams.

4) learn to understand that everything you ingest is a drug and that each effects you both at day and at night. Use all food and such at your own moral discretion.

5) write

6) learn to shut off your inner dialogue all the time, so that you can walk and meditate, do work and meditate. Once you start to realize it in your life, the same calm will come to your dreams and lucidity will, at this point, be inherent almost.

7) love yourself. lucid nightmares suck.


Those with many combinations of application and style seems to be effective reccomendations I've noticed in many different religions and practices to induce clairity and dreaming, but such disciplin will take years. But it is well worth the time and the effort for the peace of mind it provides. good luck!
