Thread: Finally, some Lucid Dreams after a hiatus!

Hrm the tech I use most is just anything I can do, remember to do, and keep up that will enable me to keep remembering my dreams and what it actually feels like to dream. The more you familiarize yourself with the whole process, the easier it becomes to eventually hit that lucid realization, because your mind is constently comparing waking life and the dream world.

What I have been doing, is when I wake up I kind of force myself to lay there each time without letting the real world's stresses, thoughts and activities disrupt my recall. The funny thing about dreams is if you let them slip away upon wakening, they completely disappear from your memory and all you're left with is bits and pieces.

So, what the result has been the past 6 months or so are very vivid, easily recollectable dreams, several a night, always barely hitting the lucid mark but knowing if I'm patient it'll happen. You can definately speed the process up with a more disciplined regimin, (Dream journals, timed reality checks so your body actually attunes itself and searches for the hourly reality check and bam your in a dream) etc, but I've always had no problem with the usual "sitting awake after a dream and just trying to remember it, constantly".

Hope that helps, everyone can do it, I'm certain, the trick is to just familarize yourself with how the waking world feels compared to the dream world.

And thanks KingYoshi! I think it helps for anyone to share their experiences with Lucid Dreaming, it's all about raising awareness/concsiousness, imo!

For the traffic noises, try earplugs. I live in a noisy college dorm and I wouldn't be able to sleep without them. Try the soft ones that expand to fill your ears. They're effective and not too uncomfortable.
