Tips for
Lucid Dreaming
Studies strongly suggest that a nap
a few hours after waking in the morning is the
most common time to have a lucid dream.
When recalling a dream upon waking, try not to
move. Activating your muscle neurons can make it
more difficult to access the parts of your brain
that allow you to recall your dream.
Performing reality checks upon awakening can
help you to detect "false awakenings" within
dreams, wherein you dream that you have woken up,
and thus lose lucidity.
Do not
use a radio alarm clock. Once you hear talking, or
a song, that will distract you, and may clear the
dream out of your head. If you have to use a radio
alarm clock, don't think about what is playing and
quickly turn it off. Alternatively, change the
radio setting to a non-assigned frequency so the
alarm creates static (white noise).
When you wake up naturally -- that is,
without an alarm -- focus your gaze on the first
object you see as you open your eyes. Look at the
object; focus on it. That object will most often
take the vague recollection of your dream to a
placemark in memory where it is easier to recall
details. A doorknob, a lightbulb, a set of car
keys, or a nail in the wall, for example, will
quell your urge to begin your day, and will help
you to settle into memories of what you had
experienced while sleeping.
An
interesting sensation is "flying" during a lucid
dream. Aim for this experience and you will start
enjoying lucid dreaming a lot more. To start
"flying" try to start bouncing higher and higher
after each step (while "walking" in the dream.)
Also try walking on walls or the ceiling, as
flying for the first time can be very intimidating
if you are not totally convinced that you are
dreaming.
You can
pre-determine what you want to achieve in a lucid
dream while you are awake. That way when you
become lucid in a dream, you already know what you
want to do.
It is a
good idea to purposely wake up 1 or 2 minutes
after becoming lucid, after you have experience
what you want to experience. This way, you can
wake up with the dream very fresh in your mind,
and have excellent recall. If you do not wake up,
the dream may simply fade away into the night, and
could be forgotten.
Do not
get into the habit of saying "I'm obviously
dreaming" or something similar in real life. This
won't trigger a lucid dream in your sleep.
If you ask people in your dream "Am I
dreaming?"...the most of the time they'll say
"No."
Warning
Wake-initiated lucid dreaming
(WILD)
- Maintaining awareness as you fall
asleep, and then carrying that awareness into the
dream. Wake-initiated lucid dreaming (WILD) is likely to initiate sleep
paralysis and anxiety during the transition. It can also,
in some instances induce "hypnagogic hallucinations". These are not to
be feared, as Sleep Paralysis happens every night, you are
just
asleep.
Being chased in a dream can be frightening. Jack Sparrow (Jonny Depp) being chased in Pirates of the Carribean 2

Dream to Live - Don't live to
dream
Consider this: if the
average person spends 7 hours a day sleeping, and
lives till 75 years, then they have slept nearly 22
years of their life away. It’s possible, however, to
get more life out of those wasted years through lucid dreaming
and dream control. Before being able to control your dreams
you have to be able to recognize that you are dreaming.
I’d like to make sure that you are wanting to learn how to
lucid dream for the right reasons and also understands the
possible consequences involved with excessive force.
First, lucid dreaming should not be used to escape from
reality. I cannot stress that enough—there is a real world out
there, and lucid dreaming is best used both as a recreational
activity and to aid in personal development. Lucid dreams
should not be used as a vehicle to displace reality.
Secondly, lucid dreaming is best
sought after in moderation. We live in an impatient
society and allowing an attitude of impatience into
your dream life could have a detrimental effect on something
that was intended to help keep you healthy, happy and
clear-headed. Please, proceed slowly and don’t use too much
force when experimenting with lucid dreams. You certainly
don’t want to awake in the morning feeling exhausted. If you
find yourself feeling abnormally tired then lessen the
frequency of your lucid dreaming
sessions.
The basic definition of lucid
dreaming is - "being aware you are dreaming while in
the dream state." A lucid dream usually occurs when you arein
the middle of a regular dream and suddenly realizes that you
are dreaming. The person is now said to be "lucid," and may
enter one of many levels of lucidity. At the lowest level, the
dreamer may be dimly aware that he or she is dreaming, but not
think rationally enough to realize that events / people /
actions in the dream are not real/pose no real threat. At the
highest level, on the other hand, the dreamer is fully aware
that she or he is asleep, and may have complete control over
his or her actions in the dream. It is possible to control
your dreams by employing the lucid dreaming methods that
follow.
But remember, when lucid dreaming, your subconscious mind will continually try to regain control of the dream. You might be driving a Ferarri through the Alpine mountain and suddenly a police car pulls along side you, with sirens blazing and lights flashing. Once you submit to the dream character by pulling the car to the side and showing the officer your drivers license, you have lost control of the dream and the events that unfold in the dream. So be aware...

How to Lucid Dream - Step 1
Preparing your Mind
To maximize your Lucid dreaming success, we must first examine your beliefs. As your ability to lucid dream increases, you directly interacting with your belief systems via your thoughts. For this reason, we must first look at our belief systems and learn to manage our thoughts to have full, positive and exciting lucid dreams. I can't emphasize enough
the crucial role that our belief systems play in determining
our experience.
Ask yourself the
following -
- Do you think you
can do this?
- Are dreams
important to you?
- Do you really want
to have lucid dreams?
- Do you know what
you will do when you become lucid?
Let's examine each of these questions in
detail.
"Do you think you can do this?" For starters, you must always have a positive attitude. If you have any doubts, then your first assignment is to replace those doubts positive, beneficial thoughts. If you think lucid dreaming is some rare phenomenon, realize that it is a natural ability that you too can readily access and benefit from,
We all have the ability to do it, we just need to learn how to access it. If you think it is going to be difficult, then, believe me, it will only be as difficult as you make it. But the truth is, most of you found learning to walk to be hard. But with practice you got there and now look, walking comes naturally to you.
"Are dreams important to
you?" Once you have a positive, confident attitude, the next step is to make dreaming a top priority. The simple act of believing that your dreams are important will dramatically increase your results. Most people don't place any emphasis on their dreams so they in turn don't recall many dreams, and not surprisingly most of these people are not even aware that it is possible to have lucid dreams. They don't know any better because they haven't made dreaming a priority. You, on the other hand, will view your dreams as important, and this will speed up your progress substantially.
"Do you really want to have lucid dreams?" The key to this question is desire and enthusiasm. The more you desire to have lucid dreams, the more emotionally charged your intent will be. The more charged your intent is, the more likely that these desires will produce results.
Along the same lines, the more enthusiastic you are towards learning how to lucid dream, the more you will absorb and the more you will be actively drawing this experience towards you. Sending messages to your subconscious that you think dreams are important and that you enthusiastically want to have them will speed up your progress dramatically.
"Do you know what you will do when you have a lucid dream?" The point of this question
is to be prepared. It sounds so simple, but just by having a
plan you increase the odds of becoming lucid. If you have a
goal or a mission planned, you will have that much more reason
to become lucid and fulfill your plan. The plan should be well
thought out, rehersed and implanted in your mind. Throughout
the day and before going to bed, remind yourself of your goal,
and in keeping with the last question, cultivate a desire to
fulfill your goal. In the beginning, keep your plan
simple like singing a song, taking your shoes off and feeling
the grass beneath your feet or taking note of your
souroundings. As you develop the ability to prolong your
lucid dreams, you will be able to carry out more elaborate
missions.
So, replace any doubt or negativity with confidence and a positive outlook. Replace all skepticism with belief. View your dreams as being important and make dreaming a priority. Be enthusiastic about the thought to lucid dream and also about learning to lucid dream. Be prepared and have a plan. This mental conditioning will not only accelerate the lucid dreaming process, but you can apply it to any other aspects of your life that you want to develop.
