How Do You Prepare?

Hi guys, I am new. I've only had a couple lucid dreams in my life and had one last night which prompted me to google for "lucid dreams" and bingo! I'm here!

Anyways, I wanted to ask what you all think of preparing for lucid dreams. Do you guys notice that certain actions help you dream better? Does excerising during the day or before sleep help? Do you eat before sleeping and if so, what kinds of foods? Is your bedroom cool or warm or do you use a fan?

I am interested in seeing what kind of environmental or body/health actions have on the effect of your ability to control and have lucid dreams. Have you all found anything that works for you? Please share as much information as possible. I am very interested in seeing how these variables effect dreaming.

well last night was my first, but it wouldnt hurt to tell you what I did before going to bed. I was reading these forums till about 12, then I was doing something...which I'd rather not say. I brushed my teeth etc and went to bed, in almost complete dark about 1. I hadnt anything to eat for a while, but before I went to bed I had some water from the tap.

hehe goku4ever. Welcoem to Dreamviews Darkhack. I like to read the forums beofre I go to bed in a ncie cool environment. Thast what I do. Also, If you have any further quesitons, or need help, give me a PM :)

Moy, I settle down with a cup of tea (no milk), a snack (preferably chocolatey) and a good book (usually Discworld).

I find I don't remember dreams so well if I only have the tea and nothing else.

Like goku4ever and Barbizzle said: spend some time reading the forums. Another thing I like to do before going to sleep is eating a banana and drinking a good old mug of hot milk.
