When I first joined DV I said that I wasn't really interested in working on lucid dreams because of my absurd amount of hours I'm taking, but I've recently realized that I wouldn't mind working towards lucidity if I could aim for the weekends. I can't do it during the week unless I just happen to have a DILD, but I will be doing reality checks and whatnot.
I think everyone would agree that everyone has at least one "thing" that really helps them with lucid dreaming. Since I discovered lucid dreaming I've realized that I'm about ten times as likely to have a LD during a nap than I am during regular sleep. The problem? I'm one of those people that just can't nap. The times that I've had them are when I was either sick or wasn't able to get a lot of sleep the night before.
Yesterday I realized that every time I try to visualize I find it hard to stay awake, so I thought for sure that I had my entrance. I laid down and visualized, but with no luck. Just kinda laid there for two and a half hours. ^_^;
I'm still very interested in working towards a nap next weekend, though, so if anyone has any tips they can think of then that would be lovely! :) Perhaps some things to keep in mind:
1) Whether it's Iron Maiden or Mozart, music does nothing to put me to sleep.
2) I have no way of comfortably listening to white noise (I don't think it would help me much; the times I have listened to it, it's been more or less like trying to listen to music to go to bed).
3) Everything about the afternoon is horrible for a morning person like me, and that would include napping. All that sun in the windows. . . . xD
Thanks!
