Lucid dreaming and running.

[Drokens]

I am planning on running every night now for about forty minutes in intervals. I notice after this run I am a lot more tired. What type of effect may this have on my lucid dreaming?

Probably depends on what kind of sleeper you are now, as a deep sleeper might not noticed much of a difference compared to a light sleeper. Generally being tired means a deeper sleep. Which means you have longer lasting dreams, that are more detailed and vivid, but have a harder time remebering them. Though each person is different, so its really is hard to perdict things like that.

I've gone through periods where I get regular exercise (I used to jog every night) and I find when I do I seem to be more alert... more aware. I wonder if this applies in the dreaming state as well?

*shrugs* It's not like there've been any studies on it. If it leads to you having a better mood, or a better night's sleep, then it will probably have a positive effect, although indirectly. If you feel like complete, tired shit the next day, then it might affect your lucid dreaming negatively, again indirectly. Running is fun, and I endorse it. :]
