      A few things that have helped me... feel free to add your own.

      1) No masturbation. The longer i go without masturbation the better my dream recall is and the better my chances are of becoming lucid. It also has a number of other benefits for me but i won't get into those here.

      2) Magnesium. Helps me get to sleep and stay asleep, the more time i spend asleep the greater the odds of dreaming and having lucid dreams. Also works well to help you relax and makes it easier to have a WILD.

      3) Alcohol. A lot of people say its bad because your sleep is poorer quality but i tend to disagree here. I feel like i have more REM sleep and i can usually remember a shitload of dreams the morning after i drink. Last time i remembered 8 different dreams, one of them lucid.

      4) Sleeping on an empty stomach. I had some crazy dreams when i was fasting. Though hunger can make it hard to get to sleep initially, you usually sleep better and dream more.

      Smoking weed almost always kills my dreams so i quit.

      LDs to date: ~ 100 mostly DILDs

      1) The fuck?
      2) Sounds interesting. Might try it some day.
      3) That's to make up for forgetting the previous night.
      4) Not going to try that, don't see the logic, but I still believe you.

      One I will add:

      5) Get to sleep earlier. If you go to sleep earlier, you are more alert in the morning, so you can do a WILD or DILD more easily. Works best if you can sleep until a decent hour.

      1) I disagree, masturbation improves my dreams and all my lucids have actually been on days where I masturbated before sleep. I guess it depends on the person though, whatever works for you.
      2) Interesting, I take multi-vitamin supplements daily, which include magnesium, and I actually started taking magnesium (alone, not a multi-vitamin) around about the time I started lucid dreaming, maybe there *is* a link.
      3) Definitely agree, my two longest LDs were after nights of drinking and getting stoned (though, as you said, the latter on it's own = no dream recall, but when combined with alcohol it works wonders for me)
      4) Disagree here again, I always eat not long before bed, and I tend to incorporate foods that boost dreams here, such as cheese, dark chocolate etc, and all my lucid dreams have been on nights when I've eaten within an hour or two of sleep - however once again, whatever works for you

      Now to add other things that have helped:
      1) WBTB - Sure, this is an obvious one, but a lot of people still don't do it. It's the most effective thing I've found. I've had 18 lucid dreams in total in my life, 10 of which were in the last 3 and a half weeks (when I started doing WBTB)
      2) Spending a lot of time reading/writing about dreaming - Dreams function on the subconscious, so if you feed the subconscious plenty of info on dreaming and lucid dreaming, even if you don't apply it in your conscious waking life, just absorbing the information will definitely improve dream recall, clarity, and chances of lucid dreaming.
      3) LD NLP mp3 - This is a half and half, I've not had any LDs while using the mp3 I'm using yet, but my dream recall improved and I remembered as many as 5 dreams in one night the other day (when the most I've remembered at any other point in my life is 3)
      4) Psychedelics - These made me aware of the dream-like nature of even waking reality, and that the need to awaken to experience the real joys in life is of utmost important, they returned my desire to lucid dream, and they also helped induce many LDs themselves
      5) Anti-cholinergics (Low dose) - A daily low dose of an anti-cholinergic, e.g. nutmeg or diphenhydramine can massively improve dream clarity and recall
