Ever do one of the tests to see if you are in a dream and find out that you are awake?
I've always been a little scared that I would be awake, think I'm in a dream, and then do something stupid, like try to fly.

So, no harm in accidentally trying to fly in reality. Except looking weird.
What has helped me stimulate higher consciousness is drinking a half cup of coffee right as I go to bed. Caffeine does not amp me out like most, but it does make the dreams more vivid & memorable.
However, the NIH research suggests(which I am more inclined to trust over commercial sites): Sunlight, happiness, exercise and diet. Fatigue even reduces amino acids that may inhibit absorption of serotonin. As for the diet part:
"Although purified tryptophan increases brain serotonin, foods containing tryptophan do not."
Once I get there, I have complete control and can fly however I want as fast as I want. I've never been able to hold on for more than a minute or so though before I wake up.
