Thread: Opposite of LDS / Lucid Aids?

Thanx for the replies!

I don't do drugs and don't drink as well. I am a vegetarian but not a pure one(I consume vegetables dairy products, but stay away from everything else including eggs and fishes).
I have dinner around 8-9 pm and go to bed around 12-2 am (on holidays) or 11-12 pm (on school nights).
I wake up at 6 am on school days and about 10-11 am on holidays (I know I'm lazy, I've completely messed up my time schedules)
I usually never eat anything after I've had dinner.
I sleep in complete darkness.

Wonder if I'm on the right track, but I've few questions...

Eating too close to bed time can make it harder

About two weeks ago, I was in my bed trying to sleep but couldn't. I was just too hungry so I made a sandwich for myself, ate it and went to sleep. And then I had the best and longest LD I'ver ever had.

Over the past few days, I have noticed in decrease in my Dream Recall, which I consider to be due to following causes, which are the only noticeable changes in my lifestyle in the past few days...

1. Exams
2. Eating too many dry fruits (including almonds and walnuts).

I thought that walnuts contained vitamin b6 and melatonin, both considered to be Lucid Aids. I dunno why it is working against me.

So, can these things actually work against some people, or am I being just too hyper?

If you want a big chance of having a lucid dream you should probably sleep longer, but if you want a WILD (wake induced lucid dream) you should sleep like 7 hours or less and then in the day or after 3 hours go to bed again its a better chance for a lucid dream I read. Some products may be good for the one and bad for the other so.. Oh and stress is a big decreaser in dream recall, when your stressed you cant focus to well on remembering your dreams (thats why grown ups dream less)

I believe you are seeking Lucid Aids;

I will leave this thread here either way for the sake of direction.

Hope it helps!

Thanx for the advice man, I'd really try to get better and organized sleep pattern.

Thanx for the link, it looks really useful


I just have one more question, can't believe I forgot to ask this before
One more change that I have had in my lifestyle in the past few days, that "might" have affected my dream recall, is lack of physical exercise. I've done almost nil exercise in past 2 weeks.
Does exercise really affects dream recall and LDing abilities? I was getting pretty good in recalling my dreams earlier, and now it has been a dry spell for a while.
