Hey everyone!

As you can see this is my first post so please move this to the noobie section if its in the wrong place!

The reason i havent posted in the noobie section is because i am not asking for info on Lucid Dreaming but have just come here to relate how i do it and what works for me.

I have had 4 or 5 lucid dreams since september 2009. I am no where near regular and i have a lot to learn and a long way to go.

When i have a lucid dream it is always in the predawn hours, around 5am-6am.

I have three children and they wake me up regulary all night so i have a decent sleep but it is never profound.

When i am dozying off to sleep around 4.30ish my body is sleepy but my mind is quitely active. I now recognize that i have a great chance to lucid dream.

I fall fast asleep and something in my dream will trigger me to realize i am dreaming and i will be able to do the nose touch test.

My reasoning mind is in full control and i can remember posts on this forum or readings i have read about lucid dreaming.

I will know to get away from my body and that i can doing anything that i want if i believe it.

One lucid dream i had, in real life my 3 year old son was sleeping next to me and he rolled over in his sleep and his hand landed on my face.

In my lucid dream i suddenly lost control of my face and couldnt move my head. I didnt break the dream though because i stayed calm and reasoned what had happened.

I finished the dream with no face movement.

Anyway i just really wanted to tell u that that time of night is really great, get woken up a few times (a lot) during your sleep and pratice your reality checks!

Kindest regards
J
