Hi, just found this board today, very interesting, i've had a few lucid dreams in my life (including flying dreams), and am interested in pursuing it.

I have a question though (which you've already read in the thread title), I leave the t.v. on while going to sleep. usually in 'sleep' mode to turn off after a couple hours. (one reason for this is that i tend to have a hard time falling asleep, takes hours sometimes).

is this likely to interfere with lucid dreaming, i tried searching but haven't found any threads relating to this. in the past i have found that the t.v. will sometimes trigger dreams for me (i hear it while asleep and start dreaming about what's going on on the tube). and in a few cases it's helped me remember dreams when i see something on the t.v. awake that is associated with a dream i had.


so on the surface it seems ok to me, although maybe likely to break concentration? anyone have any constructive advice?
