I’ve sort of experienced the same thing—never quite to the same extent, but close. I wish there were some way to trigger this productive lucid dreaming, because it does feel very cool to wake up with a solution to something you were stumped on while awake.
- egypturnash 8y agoIf you reduce the problem to "some way to trigger lucid dreaming" there is a lot of information to be found on that subject. If you read a bunch of different guides you start to see a few common techniques. I can't say I've gotten anywhere near the state of attaining lucid dreaming on a regular basis by applying them but there's been some interesting moments in my on-and-off attempts.

- newnewpdro 8y agoThere's a community of people online who employ dietary supplements to stimulate lucid dreaming. I accidentally discovered it when taking Methylcobalamin B12 supplements. For the first week or so I'd lucid dream every morning for a few hours before fully waking up. It was quite interesting, but would cease happening if I continued taking the MB12. Only after stopping for a few weeks would they recur upon reintroducing the MB12. There are more reliable supplements for stimulating lucid dreaming in particular, I'm pretty sure my MB12 experience is just a minor side effect. I've read it affects melatonin production, and I did find myself growing sleepy earlier and more consistently when taking it. I don't know if that's related to the lucid dreaming though.
