This is an article to inform people about lucid dreaming. This literally means you become conscious while you dream, allowing you to have complete control over your dreams resulting in you being able to do anything you want. For example: fly, be a hero for whatever, races, fight, anything. It’s a hard trick to master but it is learnable and everyone can do it.

Step 1

*the first step contains 2 parts*

You go through dream cycles when you sleep at night resulting in more than one dream. The difficult part is remembering your dreams when you wake up. To do this, literally say to yourself in your mind “I am going to dream tonight, and I will remember what it is. I will remember my dream tonight” while repeating I guarantee you will doze off to sleep. Believe me it works. That part will help you remember your dreams.

The next part of step one: make a dream journal. Doing this allows you to build a reliable dream recall (AKA remembering your dreams). When you wake up in the morning, find a place to type/write down and dream you remember from the night. Describe it, tell what happen, write down anything that stuck in your mind. For example, I typed mine in a simple Microsoft word file when I woke up. This part is important. Do this for a week or 2 until your pretty confident in your dream recall.

Step 2: “reality checks”

Give yourself mental clues throughout the day; the idea of this is to set up red flags in your dream. To take hold and control of your dream, you have to realize you’re dreaming while in your dream. This part is tricky. Set up clues like looking at a clock, looking away, and looking back at the clock. In dreams the time will most likely show 2 different times (a red flag). Another way is to look at your hands, for they will often have more than 5 fingers in your dream, another red flag. So during the day look at clocks, down at your hands, and say “this is real” or “I’m not dreaming.”

Step 3: “lucid dreaming”

All of that takes a lot of mental training, but the moment has come. Once you realize you’re dreaming, while inside your dream, stay relaxed. If you become too excited you’ll probably wake yourself up. Now you’re in complete control and you can do whatever you want.

I can’t think of much else to tell you all. If this sounds appealing, give it a try.
