Lucid Dreaming

[Jarek]

I've had lucid dreams before, but they only come rarely. Has anyone experimented with any techniques that increase the frequency of lucid dreams? I know you're supposed to be increase your dream recall so I'll start working on this, but is there anything else I can do. Any reading you can recommend to help me with this endeavor?

I've never really tried any techniques, but I believe you're supposed to keep a dream journal, which helps increase dream recall and allows you to identify recurring dream signs. Once you're able to identify dream signs as you're dreaming, supposedly you can take control rather easily and frequently.

i can do it all the time.. i've always been able to.

i guess that's not waht you wanted huh?

one of the most prevalent working methods i've read about is every day to write the letter "S" on your palm of your left hand (for "sleep") and when you see it throughout the day to ask yourself 'am i sleeping, or am i awake?'. and as it becomes habit, it'll show up in your dream, at which time you'll realize you are asleep and you will have a lucid dream.

Also make flicking light switches on and off a habit in the waking world. You'll start doing it in your dreams and since you can't change light levels in your dreams, you'll notice you're dreaming and blah blah blah.
