Well, that's sound advice but the main point I was trying to make is I
didn't have any 'technique.' Some nights, I was in the middle of a
dream and all of a sudden I realized I was dreaming. Obviously as this
happened a few times I began to realize that I was experiencing this,
so some nights I would wonder before going to sleep if it would happen
again. From my perception, it was just something happening TO me, not
that I was actually doing something. Therefore there was no plan or
technique.. I looked forward to the times when it would happen, but I
didn't specifically think about making it happen. Some nights, it
would, others it would not. When I attained Lucidity in a dream, it
was almost always with little or no trouble - meaning, without loss or
abrupt awakening. When it didn't happen, it was simply because it
didn't happen. There was no 'trying' involved.
What I'm curious about is that I'm reading all these techniques that
people employ when trying to make this happen, and there I was just
having it occur without any intention.
I'm hopeful that techniques I've read about will help, but I'm also
mindful of the fact that when I was able to do this earlier in my
life, there was no attempt, there was just the event.
