>>29293278>Do you know if jacking off before going to sleep interferes with this in any way?Probably not. I'm a terrible coomer and it's had no relation to my dreams. In lucid dreams it might actually help you focus on more interesting stuff instead of just having a naked woman/man appear behind a door and proceeding to fuck them. Your sleep-self is a dumb monkey that will almost always proceed to try to fuck something instead of for example summoning a representation of your sub-concious or flying off into the skies.
Melatonin still helps. It's a harmless sleep hormone you can buy in pill form from corner stores, if you want. Ought to make your dreams more vivid, which should help you remember them as you're starting out.
I wish you good luck on your path to becoming a somnonaut.
