Developed by Dr. Stephen LaBerge, Ph.D., this is the technique which I, personally, have found most beneficial to my lucidity. It makes use of autosuggestion and visualization in a combination that can have amazing results even after the very first time that you use it.

1. Relax completely and get yourself into a comfortable position in bed.

2. As practiced in the autosuggestion technique, repeat to yourself as you fall asleep:

"I will wake up after every dream period and I will remember my dream"

Believe that you will wake up after every dream you have. The very first time I used this technique, I did wake up immediately after each dream period.

3. When you wake up during the night, immediately rouse yourself and write down everything you can remember about your dream. Even if you can barely remember anything, write down how the dream made you feel, or how you felt when you woke up.

4. Lie down again, and as you drift back to sleep, imagine that you are back in the dream that you just had. This time, however, imagine that you saw a dreamsign in your dream and recognized it. Try to think of a dreamsign that fits with the dream and falls under your most successful dreamsign category. As you fall asleep, keep visualizing yourself in your dream, recognizing your dreamsign, and realizing that you are in a dream.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 every time that you awaken during the night, even if your dream was already lucid.
