      Tibetan dream yogis say that the subtle channels (sort of an energy circulatory system) that give rise to confusion are mostly on the right side of the body, so by sleeping on the right you are partly blocking those channels. They also recommend closing the right nostril with your hand. Their goal, I think, is not to dream at all, but to abide in the "clear light" that precedes dreaming, but maybe LDs are what happen for those of us who aren't tantric badasses.

      Do any other cultures recommend sleeping on the right side?
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      I don't know about this- I sleep on my right side pretty close to 'lion postition' all the time—that's the only way I can fall asleep usually—and I've only had a few lucid dreams. Didn't www.lucidity.com do an experiment about nostril dilation in relation to lucid dreaming?

      Raylin: I usually sleep towards the closest wall too. Weird, I'd think it'd be more secure with my back to the wall.
