Anyone, Advice Me On Lucid Dream Techniques & Tips

My Problems :
I've had numerous vidid lucid dreams, flying and speedy, enjoyable. And then Months and Months of Insomnia eventually whiped out My DreamRecall: 0 Dreams a Night.

What I did about it:
I first tackled my Insomnia, quite succesfully, by keeping myself to a STRICT sleeping schedual ( To bed BEFORE midnight: Arise at 8 o' clock ) so that may have contributed on my Dream Recall and Vividness Slightly Increasing again lately.
I've trained my DR since (Keep a DreamJournal, Spend much thought on Dreeaming) and now it's like this: There'll be one day I'll remember 1 dream completely and flahsbacks of my dreams prior to that during the course of the Day, and the next day I won't remember any of my Dreams. The day after than No Dreams are Recalled Either and then next morning I wake up Remembering 1 complete Dream again and parts of prior dreams.

WILD Attempts:
Lately I've been attempting WILD and noticed I'm able to stay Concious Much Longer than before, have conciously experienced very deep hypnotising Dreamy abstract Thoughts&Emotions, Vivid Colorfull Hypnagogic Imagery ( It seems to be increasing day by day ) I have never managed to maintain concious and land myself in a Dream Conciously Yet.

But I feel I came closer last night: I had a Late night awakening,because I needed to take a leak, and Recalled a Very vivid Complete Dream: What a fool I was to forget to Write it down after I came back from the Bathroom and fell back asleep. >_< I lost it now. But it feels as though I&#39;m finally comming closer to Lucidity now than before.


Given my Conditions, is there anyone here who would have specific advices, hints or techniques I should try to Suggest to me?

But I will next time I awake during the night

Try taking vitamins, they help with dream recall.

Also, with 8 hours of sleeping you are missing a lot of long REM periods... I sleep about 10-12 hrs a day during the summer.

Insomnia is a bad thing indeed. I&#39;ve been taking melatonin for 2.5 years to counter it.

You&#39;re on the right track. Keep doing what you&#39;re doing.

With regards to WILD-ing, I find that naps make for easier WILDs. It&#39;s very difficult for me to have one when I turn in for the night.

Maybe if you have a nap during the day in which you aim to achieve WILDs, you eventually make it to the dream stage and become proficient at it. Then perhaps you can transfer that skill over to longer night time periods of sleep.

That&#39;s what I&#39;m trying for at least.


Good luck with everything.
Hope that helps.
