Good one - !scp@lemmy.world - Just in case you want to post more π π
Some training is necessary, but it is doable. Basically you have to follow some of the methods to get used to it.
- Set an alarm in the middle of the night (don't overdo, sleep is important)
- keep some easy abit to check if you are dreaming during the day.
- Start a dream journal
Personally i had a couple of lucid dreams years ago, couple weeks after i've started a journal, and all in all was a fun experience, a bit like having an admin access to your world.
