Thread: Need some help and tips on gaining lucidity.

Hey Lucidness,

Gaining lucidity can really be frustrating sometimes, I know it. One of my most favorite tips, and you mentioned it briefly, is writing it down. And something I discovered recently that really helps dream recall, especially long term (and improved dream recall leads to improved lucidity) is adding pictures to the dream journal. Try it for a couple weeks and see if you notice a change.

Thanks op, ive heard something on the same lines, but it was about writing what you want to dream about . I shall drawing pictures after my dreams, but i normally draw stick men, lol. Because i drew a cartoon of what i dreamt about once. lol. But do you mean draw artisticly good and parts of the dream, or stick men pictures, or just a sketch? ;P

I didn't have any lucid dreams for two and a half months. At the point where I did finally have one lucid dream, I was having two to four dreams recorded a night. I think there were two things that helped me.

1. My first lucid was completely random. It was actually a night after a Salvia trip and it just kinda HAPPENED. Without me trying, I had never put any thought or actions into lucid dreaming before. It just happened. But after this happened, I wanted it again of coarse. I think having experienced a lucid dream helped me to get them more.

2. I wake up in nights and do the same steps people take to do wild. (Counting and saying your dreaming) I do this for like two hundred seconds and then go to sleep. If I go wild great. If not, it really helps you to have lucid dreaming on your mind. This has made me have four lucid dreams since a week ago when I had my first.

Actually I meant posting pictures from the internet. Assuming you have an online dream journal, that is. I do this alot, and I've seen other members do it. For example, if you had a dream about an actor, then put a picture of him/her in the post. Somehow it really improves recall.

Damn, I really need to get back into that!
