When I was a kid I would repeat the phrase "I am dreaming," over and over in my head until it would become automatic. I would still be saying it to myself in my dreams as they began.
Unfortunately, it can take a while to fall asleep that way (although I had a lucid dream the first time I tried it), so these days I'm trying something similar to kegboy's method. I try and move small objects with my mind during the day, with the hopes that I'll try the same thing in a dream and get a surprise. |
