3. Focus very hard on staying conscious and you get to remember the process of falling asleep (do not recommend).

  Why do you not recommend? Pretty much every night I attempt to fall asleep consciously and nothing bad has happened, as far as I can tell. Witnessing the transition from being awake, to light and deep sleep, and finally the emergence of dreams -- it's a fun experience, and it automatically rewards you with a lucid dream.

    I’ve never dreamed. I wonder what would happen if I tried it?

      Everybody dreams, except for people with life-threatening sleep disorders.

        If I do dream, I have no knowledge of it. In 52+ years of life, I have never woken up and remembered anything from the time I went to sleep. I even tried keeping a dream diary to see if I could remember anything if I tried to write stuff down as soon as I woke up, but there was never anything there to remember.

          I was like this from about age 16 to 39, no dreams at all. Then I developed crippling anxiety. After about 2 months in therapy, I started to dream again: full blown in color sweeping epics of dreams. It got so intense that I needed a break from therapy to find a different therapist just to help me tamp them down. Now I have a more balanced amount and intensity. There are a few nutritional deficiencies that may need correction for some people, but dreaming is very much inherent to the sleep cycle. Keep working at it.
