Every day my world is shattered by the unrelenting force of realisation that I have to awake to proceed with life. Nothing can prepare me to what the day will bring, the feeling of being watched by the nearest dark alley way, as I sit in my office chair typing away for the fourth hour in a row. Maybe one day I will be able to escape the paranoia of coming home to a dark, gloomy home filled with the stench of rotting corpse, which i am still unable to find the cause of. I am not terrified of it all ending, but by the fact that my life is ran by the fear of the unknown watching my every move.

Dream journal, autistically document your dreams to improve dream recall. Learn to manage your emotions/sensations shit like getting too scared or busting a nut will wake your meatsuit up because you triggered its Spidey Sense. Reality checks, constantly. As often as you can throughout the day ask yourself "Am I awake right now or am I dreaming" and scrutinize whether you really are asleep or awake, this drills it in to your brain and will trigger reality checks while you're sleeping sense it is a programmed habit.

I wasn't trying to have a lucid dream. It just happened.

This is sound advice. I've heard meditation, especially close to bedtime, can be extremely helpful in increasing both stability and frequency of lucid dreams.

One tip I have is to practice All-Day Awareness (ADA); you will pay greater attention to surroundings both in your dreams and your waking life, resulting in more dream lucidity because chances are good you realize that you're dreaming without ever having to do a reality check (as you trod along, reality checks will be more of a final confirmation than the instigator to lucidity).
>I wasn't trying to have a lucid dream. It just happened.
It's possible you saw, or simply felt, something that made you realize you were dreaming; that sounds like awareness. Maybe you did something special recently that lead to this?

I get lucid dreams pretty easily. I don't know how but sometimes I just think to myself, "oh, I'm in a dream". Whenever I try to act like Emperor Palpatine like some people I just wake up

>>19532792
dont do anything that will shock or surprise you or you will wake up immediately so just start with little things when you are lucid and build up to more complex and exciting things

but desu senpai flying is so fucking fun
