What technique do you use to clear your mind/ Relax before attempting to become lucid in the dream world? Any help is appreciated.
Some of us don’t use anything, some meditation, there’s no thing that works for all.
Look in the List of discussions of most popular techniques
There’s also Meditation as aid in LD topic
just look around in Quest for lucidity, there’s been more than one discussion on that topic.
I just tried it yesterday and LETTING GO of thoughts and desires made me more or less sleep Much more sound and clear and with a better dream recall.
I meditate using binaural beats… 
I focus all my attention on visualising some of my favourite dream scenes, imagining myself to be there and lucid. It’s like a meditation in that I don’t allow myself to have any thoughts unconnected with the dream scene. I find that I nod off a little too easily with meditation alone. Having something to focus on helps me to keep some awareness as I start to dream.
that’s true, that’s what I have to do
I meditate. I should start using binaural beats again though, that really made me relax.
