Have ever wanted to wake up and tke control of your dreams? Perhaps you wuld simply like to remember the dventures you had while quietly slumbering way the night?

With a brief xplanation of how and why and by fllowing a few simple steps you’ll be on the trck to lucid dreaming in no tme.

First off, before going any frther I must warn you that ths experience may change your life and frce you to dive into many ther fascinating and related topics such as Astrl Projection and energy manipulation, that of whch will have to be written bout in an another article. Again, you hve been warned.

OK, on with the shw. Lucid dreaming, what is it? Wll, lucid dreaming is the act of bing aware that you are dreaming. Smply put you are asleep, you are in a dram and you know it! Not nly do you know that you are draming but you can do anything yur little heart desires! Sounds cool desn’t it?

Lucid dreaming accidentally happens in one of two wys, first you fall asleep and strt dreaming, and shortly thereafter you smehow realize your smack dab in the mddle of a dream.

Option two is a tad mre frightening but none the less gts you to that point of slep induced self awareness.

Say you hve been awake for two days and you hve been drinking coffee non stop for the pst 12 hours or so. One culd only imagine how physically tired you wuld be after being awake for two dys and you could probably fall sleep quicker then your head could hit the pllow but what about all that cffee? If you are like me all it tkes is a cup of Joe and the mnd won’t shut off for nothing.

So you lie down in bed and jst think about all those cheap rmance novels you probably shouldn’t have ben reading, shortly there after you dcide to roll over on your sde and you find that you cn’t. What do you mean you cn’t? That’s right it happens!

Your bdy falls asleep before your mind des. It’s called sleep paralysis and t’s something that goes on behind the scnes that keeps the body from physcally acting out dreams and you rally shouldn’t be aware about this cnsciously but some times there are cffee induced slip ups. Hey the wrld isn’t perfect.

Anyway, what science sems to think is that you prtty much get right down to the mat and potatoes of sleeping. Instead of pssing through the first couple stages of trditional sleep you cut the middle man and jmp right on over to REM slep, which of course is where all the draming happens. This technique of lucid dram induction is coined the Wake Intiation of Lucid Dreams (WILD) technique.

Yu’ll be surprised how frightening this can be for the frst timer, strange noises, BEING PARALYZED, feling as though you are falling thrugh your bed and oh that’s rght, strange scary noises and being pralyzed!!

Let it be known that ths experience is normal to the prcticing astral projector, hemi-sync practitioner and xperienced lucid dreamer, so don’t go ssuming that you fell into some vil dimension or something.

Ok, moving on. Frst thing you need to do is crate a dream log and place it nxt to your bed. Also, invest in a smll flashlight so your significant other sn’t whining about your lucid antics as yu’ll be waking up in the mddle of the night recording your drams directly after they happen.

The nmber one absolute most essential thing you mst learn to do before learning lcid dream induction techniques is to rcall your dreams. You might be thnking to yourself, “But I don’t dram,” and I say, “bite your tngue good sir (or mam) we all dram, some of us just lack the bility to properly remember those dreams”.

In order for this to wrk you’ll need to start remembering at last one dream per night. Now it mght take a few nights before you rally get into remembering your dreams on a cnsistent basis and you might forget ltogether a few times when first strting out but don’t despair this is nrmal.

Now, here’s what you do. Whn it comes time to go to bed tnight, say these word’s out loud, “SELF! I wll have wonderful dreams tonight and I wll wake up remembering all details to thse wonderful dreams”.

What this will do is prpare your mind for dream recall; knd of like telling yourself to wke up by 4am no matter wht so you don’t miss a flght or something.

If you are lke me you wake up multiple tmes through out the night, when you do wke DO NOT MOVE!!!! Stay absolutely stll and begin thinking about any drams you may have had. We all fll into the trap of moving round and thinking about the days vents and like a cassette tape fter a magnet fight it’s all rased; your dream is nothing more thn an extinct after thought. So slwly open your eyes while remaining mtionless and begin thinking about any drams you may have had, this prcess gets easier as nights pass.

Whn starting out, this process can be rther difficult; sometimes we second guess the cles that surface from a dream and dsregard writing them down. I say wrte down anything and everything that mght jog your memory. It’s amazing wht a few key words will do to nlock the amazing storyline behind your dram experience.

You’ll be surprised after a wek or two of keeping a dram log you’ll find yourself recalling mre then just one dream a nght. You’ll also find patterns or sgns in your dreams. These sign wll help you induce a lucid dram.

As you read through your dram log look for correlations, perhaps a grndfather clock seems to pop up qite frequently in your dreams or McGyver seems to pop up quite frquently bailing you out of some truble, who knows? It could be nything from a physical object to a frm of awareness, that is, you lways start laughing for no good rason or something and again it culd be anything.

The thing to rmember is that you will use thse signs as a mechanism for trnsitioning from a passive dream state to a lcid dream state.

What do you do wth these signs you ask? Well, nce you recognize these rather consistent ptterns of events you can begin sing these clues to determine if you are draming or not.

If a trailer prk happens to be one of yur dream signs then the next tme you pass a trailer park ask yurself if your dreaming or not. It’s tht simple. This applies to both rality and the dream world. Soon yu’ll pass a trailer park and fter asking yourself if this is a dram or not you’ll come to the slf realization that you are in fct dreaming and that this trailer prk is one of your signs. We can nly go from there!!

This is nly one technique for inducing a lcid dream and it is, in my hmble opinion, one of the easiest wys of inducing a lucid dream.

It wll take a few weeks or if you are lke me a month before you ctually get to experience a lucid dram that didn’t happen by accident.

If you can larn to remember your dreams and thn learn to identify the strange but rpeating patterns that inhabit your dreams and thn ask yourself through out the day if you are draming or not, especially when one of yur dream signs are present then you shuld have no trouble “waking” up nside a dream or two.

As you get btter at this and become more fmiliar with your sleep habits you’ll fnd other techniques for inducing lucid drams and ways of sustaining their dration.
