Can things be a trigger to help you having a lucid dream?

Well basically in the past month i have had to dreams where i asked myself if i was dreaming or not (i never became lucid sadly) but i realized that those nights that i had those dreams where the exact same day i played football or the day after.

So i was thinking to myself that maybe this is happening because football was a big part of my life when i was younger and i stopped it sadly but now ive been playing alot in the past month.

Can this be a trigger or is it just coincidence?

I believe this may just be a coincidence. I've never heard of certain physical activities having any measurable effect on a persons lucid dreams. The only factor that may have any affect in this situation might be fatigue but I am unsure how this would affect your ability to lucid dream.

thanks i was onky thinking this because they only started to happen when i played again, and is this a lusic dream of close to one?

I don't know, there might be some reason to it. The fact that it might trigger good memories could be a cause of more lucidity in dreams, or maybe that the increase in activity causes you to feel differently when entering the dream.

All of that is just speculation though, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. I usually have most of my lucids during days in which I feel really content and less when I feel tired or annoyed.
