Lucidity.com is a great website. the lucid dream books by the founder of the institue are VERY good when learning to have them. ive had best luck with lucids by writing down parts of my dreams that stand out as impossible or highly unlikely in the physical world. After recording as many bizzare impossibilities as you can remember, you may find that your dream mind follows a pattern of themes for these impossibilities to take place. when you record your major dream themes you can more easily recognize them and the imposibliities that take place in them that will let you know you are dreaming. when you get good at recognizing themes and impossibilities you can create a dream theme for having lucids in which there will be many impossibilites going off around you in a environment that is catered for lucids to occur. whereas in a normal dream theme there maybe some kind of psychological crux being addressed and you happen to become lucid because you realized an occurance isnt possible in the physical world, with a lucid dream theme the sole purpose of the dream created by your unconscious is for you to become lucid.

I have a suggestion:  Before trying to lucid dream, why don't you learn to have an out of body experience?  I think it's easier to achieve.  I read "Soul Traveler" by Albert Taylor, because my dad had it and let me read it.  I had never heard of out of body experiences before I read the book, but after the first several pages I was completely entranced.  The book has techniques at the end.  I think it took me a couple of months of trying every night for a couple of hours before I actually had an out of body experience, but to me it seems to be more "hands on" than lucid dreaming.  Basically, lucid dreaming seems to be more elusive than the OBE, because I know for a fact that you will definately have an OBE if you only follow the procedures outlined in "Soul Traveler".  Some people will tell you (and they may post it here) that not all techniques work for all people.  I believe that's mostly because the person gave up on it before it could work.  It's easier for some to OBE than others.  Just keep to it, and I guarantee you that you'll lucid dream easier once you've OBE'd just once.

It's a interesting suggestion kozzi, and I'll look up the book when I can afford another book purchase (after Christmas budget slump).  The only thing I wonder about is that I don't see why OBE training and LD conditioning has to be seperate.  When I try to OBE I'm not trying to fall asleep so it's not likely to interfere with potential LD.  If I'm asleep I've already passed my ideal time to attept an OBE (awake), and so recognizing the dream and turning it into a LD wouldn't interfere with an OBE.  The LD reality checks and dream journals can't have much effect on OBEs, nor the OBE excercises (muscles/focus/concentration/energy) likely to interfere with any of the LD exercises.

But, as I haven't had OBEs or LDs, I'm not much of one to talk either.

[kozzi]

No, I didn't mean that one would have adverse effects over an other, but simply that it's easier and less elusive to achieve OBEs.  When I say less elusive I mean that when training to OBE you can do specific things and expect results.  In my experience, in other words, lucid dreams have been kind of a hit or miss experience while OBEs are more likely to happen when doing the exercises correctly.  Does this make sense?
