Yeah it really surprised me how much I remembered -- it felt like I was in a movie.

Meditation. It increased my instances of lucid dreaming, and meditation caused my friend to have really vivid dreams. It also made me talk in my sleep a lot, though, so be forewarned about that.

Vitamin B6, I remember ages ago when I was reading about vitamins for bodybuilding and came across this. A simple Google search will return loads of articles about vitamin B6 and dreaming. Here are just a few:

Vitamin B6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How to make a Dream more Vivid: The true B6 story « Lucid All Night

That article is really good ^

I think it's better to get it in food form, I've read a bunch of stuff online about vitamins being absorbed better that way and not in supplements, end up just passing them out in urine or whatever.

Maybe.

I have intense dreams every night, 3 or 4 of them, including recurring dreams that have been happening since I was about 13 and I think the reason for this is diet and exercise. Whenever I don't train, my sleep quality and thus dreaming suffer.

I've always had lucid dreaming since I can remember, I don't know why.

Lucky you. Last year I tried to learn, almost had my first lucid dream but woke up as soon as I realised I was dreaming, gave up after that. Couldn't be bothered with reality checks or journals.

Sounds like great fun though.

It is fun, I normally try flying when I'm lucid dreaming, it's the best feeling ever!

I have never had a lucid dream, only regular dreams. Lucid dreaming sounds like descending into a parallel universe of sorts.

Just remembered some I had last night. One was located at my old school and I had committed a crime of some sort (possible a bombing) and now had to get away through all the buildings. Each hall sized room had a new challenge to try and get past, think Crystal Maze but more brutal, swinging balls with spikes on you have to dodge etc... once outside I was in my city centre and there were camera crews from the local news around everywhere, police etc, no need to avoid these as I don't think they recognised me, that was the last I remember.

Then I had another where I was driving a car into a training ground not dissimilar to that of a Premier League football team. Upon arriving, many of my classmates from school were there, it felt a bit like a PE lesson. I kept picking fights on this one lad, who didn't want to fight. The location would change from this training ground, to my old assembly hall where I would do squats on stage, then to my house. Eventually the lad agreed to fight me and I cycled after him on a pedal bike, before crashing the bike and waking up.

I always have these chasing dreams, no idea why. I really enjoy them though.

I heard a really cool story once, I was watching a Youtube video from a guy who's channel is dedicated to lucid dreaming, and he said he knew of a married couple who could both become lucid in their dreams, I think they would meet up in their dreams and then the next day would talk about it and realise they were having the same dreams as each other and they were connected or something. So they decided one night to meet up in their dream and tell each other a secret word to see if they could connect to each other's dream, then write the word down when they woke up and see if it matched, and it did.

That is insanely amazing. I know that my boyfriend can have lucid dreams so if I ever master it, this would be cool to try with each other, lol!
