Question about Dream Recall

I tend to always listen to my iPod when going to sleep, as it helps me sleep easier. However, since I attempted Lucid Dreaming, I haven't been able to remember many of my dreams, even though I can't remember if I could remember many of my past dreams anyway.

But back to the question; is it alright to listen to my iPod when going to sleep? Will this disrupt my Dream Recall ability? Is is harder to become Lucid when listening to music?

Thanks. :)

Actually, it's easier, according to journal's I've read.

Do you have headphones in your dream? If you do, taking them out and seeing if you can still hear the music could be a reality check.

If you don't have headphones in your dream, then when you hear music, you should question where it's coming from as a reality check. If it's coming from nowhere, you're in a dream.

Thanks, I'll give it a try! :)

Good suggestions for reality checks right there because if one wont work the other should.

Just make sure you dont have any music that has any sharp notes or something - unless you've used the same music for a while.
