Every night we go to sleep, we dream. Some of us have great dream recall and can remember much of the dream content we experienced. Others would never have known they even had a dream. We all experience our dreams in an auto-pilot mode. But what if you, your conscious self could experience the dream? To be fully aware of yourself, inside of your dream, is a surreal feeling. To lucid, is the only time we can safely experience a reality where there are no limits - where we are free from the constraints of our daily lives.
Believe it or not, some people do not believe lucid dreams are real. At some point in your life, you probably had a lucid dream. Even if only for a few seconds, the moment you realize you are dreaming, it becomes termed a lucid dream. There are two main steps to achieving lucid dreams on a regular basis. The first step is to improve your dream recall. Every morning you should wake up and remember at least one dream. The next step is to pick an available method and practice it. The key here is not to give up. Lucid dreaming, which comes naturally to some people, is in general very difficult for beginners. The final step is improve dream control. Once you achieve a lucid dream, there are still two great challenges. The first challenge is to just be able to stay in the dream. A lot of first lucid dreams are only a few seconds long. Many beginners have there first few lucid dreams only last a few seconds. This usually occurs because the beginner becomes very excited, causing him/herself to wake up. The second great challenge is dream control. Having control in your dream world may prove to be difficult initially. Do not be surprised if you find yourself getting stuck in walls, unable to fly, unable to teleport, and etc. Think of the movie The Matrix here, and how Neo was unable to fly initially. Doubt and uncertainty may cause to become constrained within your dream. Lucid dreaming may take time to get used to. Once you have the ability to control your dreams, the possibilities become endless.
With all hobbies, they must be kept in moderation. Do not lose your important sleep in practicing lucid dreaming. If you afford to lose an extra hour of sleep, go for it. Otherwise it is likely best that you wait until the weekend, or some other day where you are free to wake up at your own time. Losing sleep can be a very stressful experience, and this will only negatively impact you on your path to becoming a lucid dreamer. Remember to keep a positive attitude, and good luck!
