Hello, my name is Nico and I hope to one day successfully lucid dream. As I just mentioned, I have never lucid dreamed and i have a few questions about it.
- How long does it take to lucid dream? If there is no specific answer, give a range.
- What level of control do you have in a lucid dream? If not full control, can consistently lucid dreaming improve your level of control?
- Can lucid dreaming be used to practice things that might be dangerous in real life, such as parkour, driving a car, etc.?
- I don’t have a consistent sleep schedule due to school. It’s currently 11-6:30 on school days and 12-8:30 on weekends. Does this stop lucid dreaming from happening and should I do anything to change it?
- Does using screens an hour before bed decrease lucid dreaming chances? If yes, does anything else have the same affect, such as practicing an instrument before bed.
- Does working out or showering before bed increase lucid dreaming chances?
- How real is lucid dreaming (details)?
Edit: Any books/articles that have helped anyone with lucid dreaming? Please recommend.
