Lucid Dreaming How to

Have you ever woken from a dream wishing you could go back and stay a little longer? Or have you ever had a dream you wish you could have controlled? Are there fantasies you'd like to live out, fears you'd like to overcome, experiences you'd like to have that may be impossible in the "real world"?

If the answer to any of the above is yes, you will want to learn how to lucid dream, and the lucid dreaming techniques you will need to learn are easy and natural. Many people experience spontaneous lucid dreaming, and most can learn with some simple how-to advice like we give here. Lucid dreaming is natural and does not negatively affect sleep; in fact if you learn the techniques necessary you can have lucid dreams that help you reduce anxieties and overcome fears.

Stay tuned to the Lucid Dreaming Center for the latest in how to advice for the beginning lucid dreamer and tips and innovations for the more experienced practitioner!

Lucid Dreaming Techniques

Lucid dreaming is the ability to be fully conscious and in control of one's dreams. Thus lucid dreaming techniques can help you learn how-to gain control that will let you have fun, whether to experience flying, go to a fanciful place, or meet up with an old friend.

Lucid dreaming techniques can also be used to learn how to use this activity for more serious or important pursuits. People with fears, such as a fear of flying, public speaking, or social events can overcome their fears through practice in dreams. People who live under the weight of sadness or regret about past events can relive them and experience the joy they missed.

Finally, lucid dreaming techniques can simply be used to fully remember and interpret the direction your dreams go - you can be what we call "passively lucid", fully aware but letting your subconscious direct the dream.

The Lucid Dreaming Center will give you the techniques to learn how to lucid dream!

The most important lucid dreaming how-to advice

posted by alanjacobson on May 07, 2012 5:08 as Advice

A common question we are asked is what the most important factors are when it comes to learning how to lucid dream. People often focus on learning lucid dreaming techniques, which is excellent, but there are other important steps that must be followed if you want to be fully aware and in control while dreaming. Here are three:

1. Keep a dream journal and set your mind to remembering your dreams. Do not skimp or lay off your dream journal as you get better at remembering your dreams. One of the major steps on your lucid dreaming journal, and one that is too easily overlooked, is to be sure you are remembering your dreams.

2. Choose an initial type of technique and stick with it. In other words, if you are trying dream-induced lucid dreaming (DILD), try that for a while before trying something else. If you are starting with wake-induced lucid dreaming, don't ...

Three common lucid dreaming mistakes

posted by alanjacobson on March 26, 2012 5:32 as Concerns and Advice

There are several mistakes many lucid dreamers make when they first experience lucid dreams. None of these mistakes usually last long, since most lucid dreamers relaize their error and correct it. Our goal is to give some advice here so that the lucid dreamer does not make these mistakes in the first place!

1. Do not try to be too active in your lucid dreams at first - too much excitement and you might wake up. Trade the fact that your dreams will be longer and maybe more vivid for the fact that you will be more passive.

2. Don't stop using your dream journal after you start having success lucid dreaming! Many people believe that since they are having lucid dreams they no longer need their dream journal, but in time you will start to forget more dreams this way.

3. Be creative with your techniques: lucid dreaming is not a practice ...

More about passive lucid dreams - dream signs

posted by alanjacobson on February 28, 2012 8:48 as General

It is very tempting to jump into the lucid dream and want to take control and have an adventure or do super human things. The dream world provides an incredible opportunity for all of that. Yet there is another opportunity that the dream world presents that many lucid dreamers fail to take advantage of, which is to learn from the signs and content that appear naturally when the dreamer is just an observer. Many of these dream signs appear even when the lucid dreamer takes control, but they can very easily be missed.

For the novice lucid dreamer just learning how to lucid dream, being more passive is a commonly prescribed technique for lengthening the dream and not waking up too early. But even for the more advanced lucid dreamer, spending some dreams in a more passive and observational state can lead to new insights and revelations. You may notice ...

A warning about Galantamine supplements for lucid dreaming

posted by alanjacobson on January 20, 2012 5:37 as Advice

Many people look into lucid dreaming supplements for a variety of reasons. For some it is because they are stuck and have not had a lucid dream for a while. For others the lucid dreaming supplements are used merely to deepen the lucid dreaming experience. And there is also a group that begins using supplements at the start of their lucid dreaming experience - to try to kick start things.

One of the more popular supplements that people turn to is galantamine, which certainly does make dreams more vivid and powerful. Many report that galantamine also makes dreams easier to remember, though it may be that that effect is merely due to the increased vividness. There is a catch with galantamine however: this lucid dreaming supplement cannot be used more than once every four days, and many people suggest that it not be used more than once each week. Using ...

Wake induced vs Dream Induced

posted by alanjacobson on December 22, 2011 5:12 as How to

There are basically two categories of lucid dream induction techniques: wake induced and dream induced. The former involves trying to go directly from a waking state into a sleeping and dreaming state while maintaining consciousness, while the latter involves using techniques to become lucid after a dream has started. Many people wonder which techniques are easier to learn or potentially more fruitful when it comes to lucid dreaming. The answer is quite complicated, but we will boil it down:

Wake induced techniques for lucid dreaming (WILD) are usually best for those who have an easy time falling asleep during the day when they want to take a nap, and for those that can fall back to sleep easily when awoken at night or in the early morning. They are also best for people who are good at visualization and maintaining focus. On a practical level, wake induced lucid dreams are best for ...
