Did no one move there until recently? I visited the boro several times back in the 00s and it seemed like a nice place but it was basically a stop to MTSU on the way to Nashville. I had High School besties that went there so my view of the Boro was limited. I grew up in an industrial town where it was common to have people from around the country and even around the globe coming in for work so the contrast between people raised here and people coming from elsewhere was the norm. I know that makes my experience with it a lot different than it is for people where it's a new thing. If it makes you feel any better, it eventually meshes. Tennessee's culture is strong enough that even when language barriers are present immigrants and those from other states eventually blend right in.

I went to school with one guy who was Polish (from Poland) but he was so inherently American and Tennessean that I was shocked when a mix up with his paperwork meant that he might not get his citizenship. His entire family were naturalized citizens and he had been here since he was 2 years old. If you compared the two of us without knowing our backgrounds - me with my family having generations here and him having been born in Poland - you'd probably think he was the better representative of a stereotypical Tennessean. He ended up becoming a career officer in the US Army.

There are many tricks and probably a modern google search would field best practices these days. There are plenty of online communities building shared knowledge on it.

I started about 15 years ago by both taking a sleep supplement (I want to say some combo of valerian root and htp-5 - but this isn't at all necessary) and doing one very simple thing as I fell asleep: repeating "I will lucid dream" in my head. Somehow that level of awareness can carry over to mid-dream.

Over the years I've found other tricks. Here's one of the oddest, yet well known amongst lucid dreamers - try crossing your arms over your chest. Just last night I was in this pose and had insanely vivid lucid dreams over and over. Maybe it is the tactile sensation of your fingers on skin that makes you aware, idk.

If you want to go further and really nail it down, there's a trick - practice your "token action" while awake. It is the thing that makes you aware you are either in a dream or awake. Think of Leo's spinner in Inception. The most common are looking at a clock or phone (because in dreams the time will change or the phone will look different each time you glance at it) or...made famous by Waking Life (great movie I recommend) is flipping a light switch. Light switches don't work in dreams. So...basically practice one of these actions 5, 10, even 20 times a day with the intention and focus of knowing you are awake because things are acting normally. Then you'll increase it happening in dreams, but will become cognizant that you're dreaming. And then off you go doing whatever floats your boat.


Side note - I've found a superior way to fly in dreams, at least for me. Rather than trying to flap your arms or getting a running start, just imagine you have a jetpack on and boost yourself off the ground like a rocket. I've had a lot of success flying for long periods with this.
