So I've had lucid dreaming on the mind lately... been trying different methods without success. However, last night has been the closest I've ever come. All throughout the previous day I had been repeating the mantra "I am going to have a lucid dream" at periodic times throughout the day. Now I had this dream, which I now remember almost nothing about, but all I know is that it was exceptionally vivid and real, I'm not sure what alerted me to the fact it was dream but something did. Once I found out it was a dream I automatically started repeating the mantra I had been saying earlier in the day. Unfortunately, at that moment, I woke up. :/
