Thread: How can a natural avoid becoming lucid every night?

What's her exercise regimen like? If it's low, it may help if she increased her physical activity; more exercise tends to make you sleep much more soundly.

Also, perhaps meditation every night before bed might work? Not meditation on a particular mantra, necessarily, as acatalephobic suggested out of... somewhere... but just plain old meditation to clear her mind. If she were to just sit and clear her mind, letting all thoughts pass by until there were few, if any, left (however long that took, 20 minutes, half an hour, an hour or more...) there may not be much left for her to dream about floating around in her subconscious.

If all else fails, drugs may help... but drugs should be a last resort. If drug tests aren't an issue, I'd recommend taking a hit or two off a doobie before bed as a first course of chemical treatment; marijuana (it's medicine and it's natural) would have the fewest side effects, and seems to nearly eliminate dreaming in many people (assuming she doesn't smoke already, that is...)

Valerian and/or chamomile tea might help; both are natural and relaxing, and for myself atleast, do not increase lucid dreaming. Some people say that valerian increases LDs for them though, so this may not work.

It might help if she could provide us with a list of ideas she has already tried that have failed.
