My method of achieving lucidity. Works EVERY time!!!!!!

Okay, so I have a method of achieving lucidity, as the title suggests. To start, its technically a WBTB, but I do very specific tasks during the wake. I stay up until midnight, then lay down and set an alarm for 5 am and that's when I get up (unless I have a dream and wake up. If I do, I just stay up and do it then). I then get up, and play my bass guitar. I find that it stimulates my brain just enough to keep me awake. After 5 minutes or so, I leave the room and go get something to drink. Then I return to bass playing. At approximately 5:25 I (this gets kind of inappropriate) masturbate. And that may seem odd, but I've found that it stimulates all of the correct parts of the brain and makes me relaxed, allowing me to return to sleep much easier. When I'm finished, I simply go to bed and every single time I've ever done this procedure, I've had a lucid dream. Sometimes several. And yes, I've done it successfully several nights in a row.

I just want to know what people think, and if anyone else has a technique that always works for them!

WBTB works for me everytime too, no matter what i do. But i think that playing instruments plays a nice part in it. I play my guitar before going to sleep again, use red lights, instead of normal ones (just put a red t-shirt on my lamp) and write in my journal. Never tried wacking off thought, but then again i never feel like it in the morning... But that's what works for me.

I agree about the instrument thing. WBTB never used to work for me until I started playing the bass during them!

maybe it has to do with stimulating the creative part of your brain, and going more into alpha mode. I play didjeridoo, the isntrument of The Dreamtime. I think maybe bass has more of a dreamy relaxing quality as opposed to treble. I used to listen to a lot of dubstep and d'n'b in my dream spaceship.
