      The perfect lucid dreaming kit - Suggestions welcome!

      Hey all, it's been a while since I posted anything, so I thought I'd try and make a useful thread.
      So my thoughts are this, what constitutes a perfect "kit" for a lucid dreamer? Those things that are really useful.
      Clearly I'm not going to think of everything so this is an interactive thread, so post your ideas.

      I originally posted links to examples of these things - but apparently that's against forum rules. So please best not to post links to items for sale. Everything here can be found in the usual places such as Amazon, Ebay etc.

      I'll get it going, here's my list of things I'd not be able to live without

      The perfect lucid dreaming kit

      Tools

      Sleep mask - Pretty damn essential especially in the summer! I use a mindfold

      Ear plugs - For those times you want to sleep in and try to WILD

      Dream Journal - I know we all love and hate them at the same time but without it you're going to really struggle.

      Dictaphone - I use my phone, is a life saver for quickly recording my dreams.


      Websites

      Dreamviews - Need I say more?


      Books

      Of all the books I've read these two are the ones that I think should be read by anyone serious:

      Exploring Lucid Dreams. Stephen LaBerge. - Good basis gets you familiar with the terms used by most lucid dreamers, good guidebook too. A must read to put your way of thinking into context with everyone else.

      Are You Dreaming? Daniel Love. - Best lucid dream book I've read by a long shot. Covers history, sleep cycle, terminology, lots of methods and ideas for lucid dreaming, and seems to have a good balanced outlook. A must read.

      So that's my list, anyone have more to add? Remember it's essentials not just cool items.

      Hmmm... Interesting idea.

      I personally don't like relying on anything to LD, because I like the fact that it is a free hobby forever, and after time everything degrades, but you always have to sleep. Stuck alone on a desserted island. LD time. No items required.

      But this is my idea. Haha. All these things listed are definitely helpful. Need to read are you dreaming. ETWOLD was amazing!

      I would agree that 'Are You Dreaming?' is probably the best work on lucid dreaming out there, Daniel Love knows his shit.
      spaceexplorer and LucidMoon like this.
      My Lucid Dreaming Articles/Tutorials:
      Mindfulness - An Alternative Approach to ADA
      Intent in Lucid Dreaming; Break that Dry-Spell, Escape the Technique Rut

      Always, no sometimes think it's me,
      But you know I know when it's a dream
      I think I know I mean a yes
      But it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree

      I'd like to add a powerful imagination, a lust for adventure and dedication to the list I think they're pretty essential!
