So, i’ve been lucid dreaming ever since i accidentally had one a few months back, and i see people talking about different methods, but i’ve never really thought about what I’m doing. I have found that what works for me is i make my room completely dark, turn off all electronics and just lay on my back, eyes closed, and focus on my breathing while doing a breathing exercise 4-4-6 (4sec in through nose, 4sec hold, 6sec out through mouth). Usually my lucid dreams last about 15 minutes when accidental, but whenever i do this method, they happen to last a lot longer 30-45 minutes! Is this an actual method, placebo, or something that just happens to work for me?
