How To Lucid Dream
Everyone dreams every night (or morning), so saying that you did not dream after a seven or eight hour nap is preposterous! You did dream, you just don't have any recall of it. Lucid dreaming is a skill (or ability) that can be obtained, like any other skill or ability, with practice.
Developing this skill is easy.
The Sticky Notes:
Grab some different colored sticky notes and write "Am I dreaming?" on them, then stick them everywhere. I suggest, on the clocks, right above the door knobs, bathroom mirror, on the hallway walls, front and back of doors, and on your coffee mug. This will become repetitive enough for you randomly remember those sticky notes in your dream and then you will be aware that you are dreaming.
Hypnosis:
"Am I dreaming?" Repeat this phrase in your head over and over before falling asleep or have a recording of it and play it continuously before and after you fall asleep.
Consumption:
Try experimenting with different foods and drinks before you go to sleep. Some will give you intense dreams, some will give you nightmares (sweets will do that), some will give happy dreams that you would not want to wake up from. How does this work? Well, you are made up of many different chemicals, and adding a change to it with other chemicals (foods, drinks, smells, temperature) will cause it to react a certain way, and this will have an effect on your dreams.
Milk gave me happy dreams, vitamin c made it intense, melatonin made it even more intense, nicotine made it very fast paced and I filled up a few pages in my journal with notes on the dozen dreams I have had with it (try not to miss your dose if you're using nicotine). Also, try sleeping with different scents (candles, incenses, oils, bake a cake maybe?), yes, scents, they stimulate memory, moods, emotions (absinthe works very well for me). Herbs you can make into a tea that will also work very well are calea zacatechichi, kratom and damiana, and trust me, they work will work. Boil the water, turn the heat to medium for about ten minutes, turn off the heat and let it cool.
What you can do tonight is drink milk or take 1,000 mg of vitamin c, right before going to sleep.
Also there are audio brainwave stimulators you can use and yes they do work (I meditate to recorded oms and theta waves (4-7 Hz), and listen to gamma waves (40 Hz) when I am studying). I have no reason to lie to you, but if you don't believe that certain wave frequencies affect you, think about how some songs make you more aggressive, or sad, happy, some songs make you drive faster, type, or even read faster. Ah, I may have gotten you there.
If you play the audio brainwaves continuously during your entire sleep, not only will these waves cause you to be aware and conscious in your sleep, they will also help with learning (focus, attention and problem solving), help with memory problems, motivation, reduce stress, and help you react and think faster. You will most likely wake up feeling VERY good.
Lucid dreaming is one thing, but if you can't remember it, then the fun is over. This is why having strong dream recall is important.
Upon wakening, immediately write down as much as you can remember, immediately means immediately, don't lay there trying to remember them all before writing them down, write them down as
you remember, because when you're writing, you will trigger memories that will pull in other memories.

Very cool! Crazy to think of the chemicals and nutrients that we can add to our bodies and how they affect our dreaming state.
