Hi JdeadEvil,

Thanks for your response and for the warm welcome .

Some great advice there, I have started the reality affirmations, I have an alarm set that goes off (quietly ) hourly (until it becomes natural) so that I remember to do them when I get caught up in work and much less interesting things.

So when that happens I hold my nose and try and breath and then look at my hands and try and stretch my forefinger. Hopefully this works. Generally I can achieve lucid dreams most often at the weekend when I can afford a longer lie (often purposefully to lucid dream).
Occasionally it works but I am not doing anything other than having that intention when I drift back off after intially waking at the weekend.

I'll have a read through the induction techniques also - thanks for that.

Looking forward to reading more about other people's dreams and experiences.

Andy.
