Been a while since anyone posted on this thread. I guess this is an opportunity to both resurrect a thread that's died, and talk about my own experiences.
I've been attempting lucid dreams for a while now. Over the summer, I went through a short period of time (about two weeks) where I'd have some kind of lucid dream almost every night. This would usually be in the morning around eight. I'd wake up, fall back asleep, manage to gain lucidity, but I kept waking up before I could do anything. Either I'd get too excited, or I'd try to exert control and the dream would just end. Then just as I decided what I needed to do to keep from waking up, everything was completely ruined. I woke up once around eight, and simultaneously every possible object within hearing distance began making noise. A bird was going outside the window, my family was constantly talking, one of them started vacuuming, and then the garbage truck came. It made me completely unable to get back to sleep. After that, I could not have *any* lucid dreams.
Recently though I downloaded the CursedLucid Dreams2 (not that much of a curse really :wink:). I've only listened to it once, and that night I had full dream recall. I was close to having a full on lucid dream. And that was during the middle of my dreams! I've never come anywhere near lucidity in those before. So far it's been the most succesful file for me. Most of the trigger type ones I've used haven't worked very well. And, speaking of those, I have a theory. I think that it would be much more efficient to hypnotize yourself during lucid dreaming. After all, your subconscious is right there with you, so it would probably be extremely easy to give it suggestions.
