Hello again!
I was given the opportunity to interview one of my friends (let's call them "P") who used to be a fairly dedicated lucid dreamer. The interview itself was pretty brief and informal, but I think it gives a good example of how the lucid dreaming process is not one that is set in stone; rather, it is an individual experience that takes a lot of time and patience to master.
• How did you first get into lucid dreaming?
P : "I saw a program on TV about it, and then I read a book."
• What techniques did you find worked best for you?
P : "I kept a dream journal and used that technique where I kept questioning whether I was in a dream or not during my waking hours. The watch technique (where you keep a watch and look at it all the time and dream that you can't read the numbers) didn't work for me.
• What was the best thing about lucid dreaming?
P : "I guess it's just the ability to be in situations that I can't normally experience in my regular life, like being in a burning building, or trapped in an enclosed area."
• Was there anything about lucid dreaming that you found to be dangerous?
P : "No. I can't think of anything."
• What kind of advice would you give to people who are interested in attempting to lucid dream?
P : "It took me a lot of time and effort to gain even a little lucidity in my dreams, so be patient and try as many of the techniques that people suggest to see what works for you."
