I usually have nonsensical dreams, but on rare occasions have had very vivid ones that seems to warn me of something negative about to happen in my life. Over the last few years, there have been some instances of dreams that warned me of very specific things that eventually happened in real life. For example, I had one that accurately predicted a specific financial problem that actually happened a few weeks later, one that I otherwise would have never expected.

I’d like to increase the chances of this kind of thing, and also experience lucid dreaming more often. I’ve been trying to keep a dream journal in order to help recall everything better in the mornings, but it’s only helped to a small extent so far. What else can I do? I’m open to using herbs and mind altering substances.
