I don’t agree with any of this. When I was really into lucid dreaming, I discovered that the best approach is two-fold: keep a detailed dream journal, and make a habit of performing reality checks. That’s it. If you don’t keep a dream journal, you’ll likely have lucid dreams and just … forget about them. And as for reality checks, my preferred one is trying to push my thumb through my palm. You can do it casually anywhere and it’s an instant confirmation.
When I was actively trying to induce them, I often had periods where I had several lucid dreams per night. Gradually, I mastered dream flight (it’s so weird how it’s a skill), and I became better able to maintain my lucid state, which is often the most tricky part.
I was never interested in erotic, oneironautic adventures. I spent most of my time flying, which doesn’t really get old.
