Lucid dreaming and meditation

That's what helps. While meditation is not mandatory to lucid dreaming, there seems to be an evident corelation between meditation and lucid dreams (in other words, it helps). Of course, I won't source the statements but that's what people say.
Myself, too, sometime I was just randomly reading lucid dreaming related forums and some guy told about how he does meditation and how it helps him to control his dreams a lot more efficiently. I then realized how little I knew about meditation so searched for meditation related stuff. By chance I've come up with one beginning meditation related podcast. Not all the episodes are that good but some of them are quite okay. Anyway, you can listen to the first episode of the podcast and see how it goes. Since then I have started trying meditation, a few minutes a day maybe (if I have time and want to). But with the laziness and reluctancy like mine it hasn't gone far yet (it's just been like a week, on the other hand). Anyway, you can try it and see if it helps with your lucid dreaming. Or maybe beeing a better person. Just go and see. :)
