I was trying to Lucid Dream a few years ago and forgot about this topic and the last days I have been trying to provoke it.

I also work nightshift only since a few years and quit using it because I never had issues sleeping after work but now I threw in 3 mg of Melatonin and what else can I say other than I had the most lucid dream ever in my life.

It felt so real. Normally I get scared after looking into the mirror of my bathroom because it was pitch black and had no reflection. Numbers never made sense either. So while I knew all that I ran to the bathroom and looked into the mirror knowing it won’t show reflections and started laughing “It worked”.

It’s a funny subject to me because everytime I watched the youtube videos and read on the internet I was like “weirdos” and now I can’t wait to go back to sleep tomorrow night.

I have a feeling though it was a one time experience. Especially if I don’t use melatonin.

Anyone else have had lucid dreams? Perhaps someone doing it daily?

    That sounds cool.

    Stupid question but do you think you have a good “deep” sleep if you have many lucid dreams? I always thought having lucid dreams was when people are kind of asleep but not really asleep - you know what I mean?

    I for example had lucid dreams if I get out of bed to go to the toilet at night and go back to bed for an hour or if I set my alarm one hour before waking up and hit snooze.

      Good question! This might be different depending on who you ask. I personally haven’t noticed a difference in how refreshed I feel after I have had a lucid dream versus not having had one.
