I became obsessed with lucid dreaming after seeing the Waking Life movie, around when I started high school, and yeah that's one of the things I used to induce them. Kept a dream journal and had a digital watch that I would always look at, light switches etc. I did have lucid dreams but never got really good at it and eventually just neglected the practice... about when I started having real life sex LOL
Ha funny how that works.
I never got into dream journaling but frequent reality checks and practicing meditation was pretty effective for me. 100% of the time when I wake up from a lucid dream I get bad sleep paralysis where I feel like I'm suffocating, so I kinda fell out of the habit.
i regularly have lucid dreams but i'm only able to turn it into a nightmare by spawning a demon or falling from a roof. and i get a sleep paralysis every single time. this happens about three times almost every night. it's getting pretty lame by now.
