The night after first reading this post I had a lucid dream.

I was on another planet like mars or something. I was hopping towards a crater filled with lava or something. Then I though "wtf, I must be dreaming" So I just started flying around and got a really weird feeling while taking control of what was going on. I couldn't hold control for very long, but it was definitely an awesome experience.

Before going to bed I relaxed as much as I could. Then the next thing I knew, I was dreaming. I've tried to do this again since, but with no luck. I'll probably give it another shot tonight. Originally I was just trying to get the out of body experience, but ended up with a lucid dream. Not sure if the method helped with the dream or if it was just a coincidence though.
