lying in bed quietly trying to fall asleep is terrible. My brain doesn't stop, it's like a pitching machine that's gone rouge and I'm the batter stuck in the cage.
Whenever I'm finally about to fall asleep, I notice myself falling asleep and become fully awake, because my brain goes "Yes! I'm falling asleep! Hurrah!"
Every time :angery:
I don't dream usually :agony-deep:
Is it possible to go from barely dreaming and never remembering it to lucid dreaming?
Start setting an alarm for 3 hours before you want to actually wake up (as well as when you want to wake up). If at this time, you remember a dream you were having, write it down immediately. If not, go back to sleep and try to write down everything you can remember from your dreams the second time. If the first alarm wakes you up too much to go back to sleep, start meditating on the intention to remember your dream and write it down in the morning as soon as you wake up (and stop setting the first alarm so you stop disrupting your sleep too much). I found that after about a year of writing all of my dreams, I was remembering multiple dreams most mornings and lucid dreaming once or twice every few months. Also, don't ingest any THC or caffeine within 3 (or more if you can) hours before sleep.
it usually depends on how long you sleep for as far as i am aware
i usually can only get lucid dreams to happen if i dont wake up to an alarm and slept uninterrupted
