Thread: Disabled and need help becoming Lucid

You have a very unique condition, but as Myst said, you will definitely succeed in lucid dreaming with time! When you first start out, dream recall is pretty terrible. At best I would remember strong emotions, and little snap shots of my dreams. But as you continue to recall, and write them down/ remember them in as much detail as possible, they will become more and more vivid and clear to recall!

As for falling asleep, I totally understand what you mean. Everytime I get in bed I always do a mantra and visualize; but then after that I am too excited to fall asleep! I've tried to meditate myself into sleep, but I've found this to be quite impossible. SO; do you mantras (repeating phrases like "I will dream, I will realize I am dreaming"), and then just let your mind wander like any normal nights sleep. It will be hard for the first few minutes, but your excitement will fade eventually, and you will drop off to sleep!

Good luck with this, I hope you achieve lucidity soon, and that it brings you the joy and freedom you are looking for... I'm sure it will!
