I think playing board games can also be an effective strategy for encouraging lucid dreams. Chess makes you lucid, but so might Settlers of Catan. hey Christine, yep sharing dreams can be a land mine, but I’ve found that really the scariest part is sharing… the vulnerability can be an icebreaker that works through a generation full of family dynamics. our ancestors will be proud!

Sounds like an amazing career, studying the science and mechanics behind Dreams. I've read most of Stephen Laberge's books, and the Thomas Yuschak book "Advanced Lucid Dreaming: the power of supplements". Taking naps is a great idea, cause you can use the 30 / 45 mins for visualisation, mental rehearsal, meditation, self-hypnosis etc, and you're still getting to the theta brainwaves and means you don't necessarily have to have 8 hours at night, you can get by on 6hrs, or 4.5hrs. I noticed the same thing with drinking and REM rebound. I'm not really sure on sharing dreams with the family, that's a potential landmine cause my family is pretty dogmatic and religious, and dreams is like pop-psychology, you know, the cliche saying "it was ONLY a dream..." How does the videogame concept work, can you please PM me about it, that's a really insightful way to having more lucid dreams, maybe I can finally get round to Final Fantasy X, XI, XII, XIII etc, only ever played 7 and 8. Anyway, wishing you a safe and happy holiday season Ryan Hey Ryan, thanks for posting this blogs, they’re always really interesting to read.
