      Lightbulb A Chaotic Yet Restful Night

      Ok well I think I offically had my first LD last night using the information on this site I used multiple methods at once. But after telling myself to wake up after every REM period to document my dream, making that my last thought before I started to sleep. I wound up waking up but because I sleep very deep and usually drowsy if I dont get enough sleep i just rolled over without even open ing my eyes. Immediatley forgetting my dream. I did this multiple times throughout the night. So I know I had a lucid dream once or at least twice but I cant remember anything about them. Which led to the the title I had a very chaotic night but when I woke up the final time in the morning it felt like the best sleep in a long time, which I read is a symptom of a good REM cycle.

      I also have alot of stress built up which is the main reason I atone to having so much trouble with having clear, memorable, or much less lucid dreams. I would like to know some things I can do to lower my stress levels. I have been trying to eat more healthy lately which helps alot.

      Any suggestions anyone can provide for a newbie like me to the Lucid Dreaming community would be much appreciated.

      Stress can definitely cause problems with recall and dreaming in general. I suppose the only way to eliminate stress completely is to locate the source of the stress and fix the problem. Of course, that isn't always possible. What I like to do is this...when I lay down for sleep, I tell myself, "I'll worry about my problems in the morning. Tonight I am going on an adventure and leaving all the stress and worries behind. There is nothing I can do about them while I am sleeping, so I'll just save it for the morning." I then fall asleep trying not to think or worry about anything and look forward to my dreams. It will just take some practice and will power to wake up properly during these micro-awakenings. Try to keep a notebook and pen at your bedside. That way, you can convince yourself to just slop down some quick notes about your dream and go right back to sleep. You don't always have to write the entire dream down. You can just write down some key events and try to piece everything together in the morning.

      Thank You Yoshi
      I will be sure to try that advice. I have also tried meditating before bed, that seems to help too.

      Yeah, many dreamers really get into meditation to go along with their lucid dreaming practice. You should definitely give it a shot.
