Thread: Believing you will not have a lucid dream, results in one? Possibly new technique?

I will try this out as well. Instead of trying to focus not on getting lucid dreams, yet believing doing so will cause me to lucid, I will simply not get lucid dreams. This seems like a very good variation that will handle that problem. I have one week free from school so this is the perfect timing for me to recall some dreams. When I get enough sleep without having to be woken up by the alarm clock, I have much better chances of recalling longer dreams.

Hopefully I can achieve a lucid dream by the end of next week.
