If it helps I like to cheat to level up in RPGs… perhaps having a little experience in the lucid world will help you lucid dream on your own more frequently. They do say it gets easier and easier with each lucid dream as a beginner… and yeah, the beeping watch thing is an alternative. It failed for me. Oh well… btw… you can make some decent cash with that old Novadreamer on Ebay… but before you throw it away, I suggest you use it a little more. It’s a shortcut to your destination, not a teleporter…
