After starting to read up on lucid dreaming, I got sucked into all kind of new age mind focusing methods. I had talked to my step-mother who is all about energy and power of the human mind and what not. She has been meditating for years, and doing reikki(sp?) and all sorts of stuff. Anyway she gave me a guided meditaion tape. One of those “breath in and let the breath release the tention from your body” sort of things. And to my suprise upon runing through this meditation before going to sleep my dream recall had increased. The first night I did it I remembered three dreams! I’m not saying do this and you will recall three dreams a night, my dream recall has allways been quite vivid even before I really cared. But this deffenently helped.
And I suck at meditating. I couldn’t get as deep as I should have because my mind never settles down enough. And I Defy anyone to have that abillity to not concintrate on their breathing too much when first starting.
Anyway, never the less it did seem to work. And i will continue to do it. If it help even more once i get better at it i will be sure to keep you updated.
That meditation tape sure does sound helpful 
I might actually look into that 
Keep at it cuz it seems like a graet thing 4 u
