"Have a lucid dream tonight!"

"How to Lucid Dream in Five Minutes!"

I would be the first to criticise and clown videos titled as such since I know - from 8 years of experimenting - that lucid dreaming doesn't work that way. But this morning, I had a lucid dream in about 10-15 minutes. I had only 20 minutes left before I had to get up and get ready for work, I wanted to get just some extra shut-eye because my sleep was messed up by a Series of Unfortunate Events. What I did in that 20 minutes was focus on FALLING ASLEEP. That's really all I was thinking about. I wasn't thinking about an anchor or what I was going to do in the lucid dream that would follow. My anchor by the way was me alternating between focusing on the breath(meditating) and staring through my eyelids; whichever was more comfortable in the moment. I just made sure my primary focus was falling asleep.

I was having powerful hypnagogia until I felt my body able to move. It's like a visualization but more 'real' as in you can feel the senses better in the visualization. I got out of my bed to find a young woman more or less 19 with a white t-shirt and black yoga pants laying in my bed giggling. The ended there. So yeah, I had a 8 second lucid dream.
