So I've always wanted to be able to control my dreams and I found out that there actually is a term for this, lucid dreaming. I have read up on it for hours, about reality checks, dream journals, how to induce it, dream recall etc. So from what i've read, I need to develop a better dream recall, well, for the past 2 weeks i've had a dream almost every night that I have remembered 90% of each probably. I don't have a dream journal because my memory is like a 6th scent almost to me, haha. I perform reality checks every so often, I tell my self I will have a lucid dream but it just wont happen. When I dream, even if everything is out of place, during the dream it all feels like its normal and I don't realize I'm dreaming. Also, every night i wake myself up in the middle of the night just because it helps me sleep better, and im pretty sure thats what's helping me dream, but they are never lucid. Can someone help?
I understand all these different techniques like WILD and DILD, but what I really would love to know is, what do you guys do when you lay down in bed? What do you focus on, how do you position your body, what do you think about, what are your eyes set on, etc.
Thanks a ton!
