Hey,

thanks everyone for the warm welcome .

Today I got my Lucid Dreaming book. The pity is that I cannot devore it as I would usually do because I'm working on my thesis which I'm bound to finish before the end of May 2008 (And I'm afraid I'm falling short ). I'm also afraid it was my impatience that brought me to register here before I could spend the time that I'd so much like.

That being said I couldn't help checking out the links that you, Robot_Butler, sent me. Yeah, the method I use seems to be similar to this Wake back to Bed thing. For me the optimal time is beeing awake for 60+ minutes. I've tried to cut it shorter (to lessen the amount of "lost" time) to little success. I've also found out that eating something (first thing after waking up) kind of also helps achieving the lucid dream.

The meditation I basically use is concentrating on a point in the body and trying to shut everything else of. I've also tried some vipassana to a relatively acceptable degree of success.
