I have been interested in Lucid Dreaming for the better part of the past few months due to my fascination with dreams in general. I have ALWAYS been able to remember my dreams (sometimes nightly, sometimes every now and again) and have wondered alot about what was in some dreams of mine. However, i had never gone lucid as a child or any other time eventhough i had friends (in the way past) that did it all the time. I lost interest in the subject some months ago and let it slip out of my mind for a while.
Some info on myself, I am 18 and in college now but i am doing summer research at my school, so i have a ton of time to kill, usually. I actually inadvertently went lucid for the first time a few weeks ago (and remembered, which was so awesome, it is difficult to describe how so, but i am sure you guys know) and again soon afterwards. My trigger in one was my ds, which was a little off, so i spotted it right away and just got into my dream. The other time, I’m not sure why i went lucid but i did. I’ll be sure to share those events in due time. After those two dreams, i figure i might as well try and cultivate the ‘gift’, as it were, if i can do it on my own every now and again, so i have come here and to every other resource on Lucid Dreaming.
I am not having so much a problem but i am in a need of some advice as to how best to move forward. I am RCing as of yesterday and try and use mnemonic devices such as ‘I will remember my dreams when i wake up’ and it seems to be working as i have been remembering my dreams better these past two days. (however, i was too lazy to write anything two days ago) I am just not sure what method works best for my kind of sleeper. I almost NEVER get a full nights sleep. I might wake up 5-10+ times a night and then fall asleep. I am in no rush and figure it will happen when it happens but i might as well guide my efforts. Any thoughts?
