I thought I would put all my efforts of getting lucid into one place, any advice would be appreciated.
Each night I eat a tryptophan food and go sleep somewhere from 9:30pm or 1am each night and wake at 10:30 am. I’ve started setting alarms for 7am, 8:30 am and 10am. I remember about 3 dreams per night, I wake from the dreams and can record about 1 to 3 sentences about the dream
Im reading how to master lucid dreaming by Sean Kelly. Doing reality checks throughout the day is easy for me to remember to do but the book teaches “prospective memory” which is choosing an object you see daily to remind you to do a reality check. Such as when you see your pet or a door handle, im not so good at this
I’m thinking of doing an induction technique but not sure which one to start with. Also I’m looking for a good practical guide on lucid dreaming
If you do, it can be a good idea to tie the reality check to an object you see immediately after waking up. I try to RC every time I see the poster on the wall of my old room in my parents’ house, since a majority of my false awakenings and lucid dreams start there.
So train that, with time you will be better and you will notice most of the triggers. For example everyday choose 4 things that if you see/hear/experience them then youll remember to do RC. It’s training just like training any other aspect. The prospective memory is important for MILD technique.
