Everybody has had the dream where they are flying. In fact many of us like the dreams in which we get to fly and most of us hope that we get to have them again. This can be accomplished by becoming skilled at having lucid dreams. Lucid dreams, like the dream of flying are something everybody has experienced, and something that most people want to have again. Lucid dreams are dreams in which you know that you are dreaming. Often, once people realize that they are dreaming they realize that they can control the actions of the dream itself. Entering willingly into a lucid dream is a great way to have dreams of flying. How to control these dreams and make them happen, well that is something that takes practice.
To have a lucid dream, you need to first take some time and learn how to remember your dreams and you need to make it a habit to check to make sure that you are awake. The more effort you put into remembering your dreams (and keeping a dream journal) the more you are telling your brain that you think dreams are important. Once your brain understands that you place importance on your dreams it will start to remember them more and will begin to pay more attention to the details of these dreams, which will make them easier to recall. Having your brain pay attention to your dreams is a good way of letting your brain know to clue you in to dreaming when it is happening. Often you will find yourself wondering why you are paying such close attention to everything and realize that you are dreaming.
Checking to see if you are dreaming on a regular basis is also important. Just like making the act of paying attention to dreams a habit, making it a habit to check to see if you are awake or dreaming is another way to get your brain to clue you in to the fact that you are dreaming. If you make reality checks a habit, the law of numbers says that eventually your brain will do this while you are sleeping and viola! You are aware that you are dreaming and have entered a lucid dream!
Once you have learned how to enter a lucid dream, you will have an easier time of creating dreams of flying. How to control your flight, however, is simply a matter of mind over the subconscious. You can decide whether or not you want to fly in your dream, how you want to fly and where you want to fly to. Dreams of flying, how to control your flight—these are all part of the fun of lucid dreaming.
Lucid dreaming is a great way to deal with the stresses of the real world without any of the consequences. Dreams of flight, how to control your dreams, entering dreams consciously—these are all part of the lucid dreaming field.
