dream lucidly

I actually had a couple lucid dreams today while taking a nap. By this point, I think there are almost commonplace to me. For those of you attempting to achieve one and have NO clue what they are like, have you ever fallen asleep and could hear background noise? I would be willing to bet most people have fallen asleep and heard background noises from real life in their dream. For me, that equals almost certain lucidity. I can hear things going on, bam i know whatever dream i am in is not real. Today, i was having a nightmare about like giant spiders or something and as i became more lucid i was able just to “make them dissapear”. Try to achieve that awkward state of half sleep when you are “between sleep and consciousness”. If you fall more asleep you may retain some of the awareness from before.

This wasn’t really a goal of mine- its just something that kind of runs in my family so when i saw other people had this goal, i had to click the “i’ve done this!” button. : )
