How to lucid dream?
| Hey! You're a g/u/rl from lain, aren't you?
| I use pure will power. Just concentrating until i fall asleep. I also suggest you reading reports on lucid dreams. It really helped me
| Start with a dream journal. If you remember your dreams you'll be more aware of when you *are* dreaming.
Aside from that there's a number of techniques you can use like mnemonic devices, or getting in the habbit of "reality testing." Doing thinga like, checking how far the skin on your hand stretches, seeing if you can poke your finger through your palm, counting your fingers and seeing if you have 5 on each hand for a total of 10, etc.
But you should start with a dream journal.
| Reality checks during the day help, such as doing and action and thinking "I am awake". Then doing the same thing when dreaming can help you go lucid.
| consume some fish oil, made my drams more vivid. set an alarm with a soft sound to half-wake you from your sleep then try to gain control

This is good. Always start with a dream journal first. Jot down your entire dream the moment you wake up; down to the very last detail. Make this a habit.

This is also very important. If you make it a habit to periodically perform a reality check throughout the day, you will also do them in your dreams.
There's a mobile app that helps you with reality checks. It's called "Awoken". Remember that this is a process (sometimes) and it takes patience.
| How about natural lucid dreaming, why does that happen? Are some people more in tune with their subconscious?

You could say that. I'm not too sure honestly. I used to research this a lot and I have a couple of books on both Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming.
Some people really are just natural lucid dreamers. Period. And I envy them haha. However, it's much easier to naturally astral project than to lucid dream. There are thousands of people around the world that have OBE's.

Lucid dreaming is just acknowledging you're in a dream and deciding to actively control your environment.
Technically anything you can do lucid you could have already done foggy, but you wouldn't have thought of it.
I've had plenty of dreams where I realized I was dreaming, but decided to go along with it anyways because I wanted to see where I was going with this.
| >>98814 nope actually I never posted on /lain/, I didn't thought it would be relevant there.
>>99067 downloading the app, I'll start doing all you g/u/rls recommend me to do, except the fish oil thing, I feel like I would throw up in my dreams if I drank that
| Anon didn't answer the question still, they just wrote about their subjective lucid dreams kind of.
| A few weeks ago as I was dreaming I decided to count my fingers, I freaked the hell out seeing I couldn't see them properly.
| As for being able to control/notice you're sleeping, I suggest to sleep again right after waking up. Works for me most of the times
| >>98816 as g/u/rl said, reading another's lucid dreams helps a lot. At least for me. I can't control them, but so much shit happen in them that I wake up tired
| Sounds like you just remember your dreams very vividly and realize how freaky that shit is sometimes. I was in a car on the highway with someone, and they said, "Wow this persons going way too fast... I'm passing them." Which in the dream, I remember made a lot of sense to me, but not at all IRL.
| There are also many sleeping supplements out there that can help with dream vividness and dream recall. A lot of them are either a combination of herbs or certain vitamins like B-6. Of course these cost money and some vitamins can be harmful if taken in large dosages. Of course these are just meant to be as a helper, there is no magic pill to lucid dreaming
