Things To Do in a Lucid Dreams

Lucid dreams are dreams in which, at some point, you realize you are dreaming.

People love having lucid dreams because they can help them process problems they are having in their waking hours. Many people find that, after some practice, they can control the happenings of their lucid dreams and enjoy a freedom that they do not have during their waking hours. When people are awake they can’t cartwheel over a skyscraper or fly (at least, not without the help of an airplane or helicopter) but in their dreams they can! There are plenty of things to do in a lucid dream that you might not be able to do while you are awake.

Things to do in a lucid dream:

Be the Puppet Master! If you can control the actions and situations of your dreams, do it! Your dream world is the only place that you can try out actions or words and not have to worry about the impact they will have on your every day (awake) life. If you’ve been crushing on someone, have them appear in your dream and admit your feelings to them. If something starts to go awry, simply change the situation or—if it is becoming too much for you to handle, just wake up!

Perform Super Human Actions

Fly! Run up the side of a building! Jump out of that fifty story window and then jump back up off the sidewalk below. Do those cheerleading moves you’ve seen on television but know would break your leg if you attempted them while you are awake. Enjoy the freedom and try the things you have always wanted to try but haven’t ever had the courage.

See Your Loved Ones

A lucid dreams is a wonderful place to have a conversation with a friend who lives far away from you or with a loved one who has passed away.

Of course, the words they say are coming from your own subconscious mind, but spending some time—even if it is only in a dream—can be very comforting and can be a very good experience.

Pay Attention

Instead of trying to control the situations in your dream, play out what is already happening, but pay attention to everything that is happening. Many people believe that dreams are the way of the subconscious working through issues you are facing in real life. Were there symbols in your dream that might be significant to your waking life? Was your dream giving you an answer to a question you’ve been asking or was it giving you a decision you’ve been having trouble making?

Lucid dreams are a wonderful experience for many people and they can be quite addicting—once you’ve had one, you find yourself wanting more! These were just a few suggestions of things to do in a lucid dream. You will probably think of even more things to do in a lucid dreams by the next time you have one.

Lucid Dream Tips

Everybody has had that dream where, at some point, they look around and go “what is going on?!?” and then realize “I must be dreaming!” There is something very surreal and interesting about feeling conscious in your dreams. You can control the elements of your dreams, you can accomplish super human feats that you would never be able to do during your waking hours (flying, leaping over buildings, etc). Once you have a lucid dream, you will want to have another one. Some people even work on developing the skills to make most of their dreams lucid.

If you are interested in becoming lucid during your dreams, here are some lucid dream tips:

Lucid Dream Tips

1. Learn how to recall your dreams readily. Keep a dream journal to help you with this. The more you can remember about your dreams, the better able you will be to recognize that you are dreaming when you are asleep. This step tells your brain that you want to know more about your dreams and it will be more open to clueing you into the dream when you are having it.

2. When you keep your dream journal you probably start to see patterns in your dreams: certain people, places, things or situations will turn up again and again. This helps you remember that you have dreams about a certain subject when, as you are dreaming, you encounter it. Sometimes that is all it takes to clue you in to the fact that you are dreaming.

3. Do a few reality checks. Train yourself to ask yourself “am I dreaming” at regular intervals. Learn a few of the dream “tells” (signs changing the second time you look at them, words not being steady when you try to read them, etc) and then when you encounter a situation that you often dream about, train yourself to ask “am I dreaming” and then analyze your situation. If you do this often enough, your brain will start to perform these checks automatically, and after a while, you will be dreaming when you ask yourself that question!

4. If you find yourself in a lucid dream you can often control the situation by giving yourself “verbal” commands. Nobody is sure why the verbal commands work so well at helping you to control your dream, but they have been very successful.

5. Try to stay calm. Some people get so excited when they realize that they are lucid dreaming that they accidentally wake themselves up! Nothing is quite as disappointing as realizing “Hey! I’m dreaming!” and then suddenly being awake instead.

These are just a few lucid dream tips to help you both achieve lucid dreams more often and to have more control when you find yourself in the middle of a lucid dream. Lucid dreaming can be addicting—once you’ve had one, you want another! Believe it or not, you can train yourself to achieve lucid dreams with regularity. It just takes time and practice and follow lucid dream tips .

Lucid Dreaming Techniques

Lucid dreaming is something that many people work toward achieving. Being able to make a lucid dream happen is often considered to be a feat of great skill and it is something that many people wish they could do.

Here are a few lucid dreaming techniques to help you achieve a lucid dreaming state.

Dream Recall: Of all of the lucid dreaming techniques you will read about, being able to remember your dreams is absolutely the most important. Every morning think back over your dreams. Try to remember every detail of them. Even trying to remember your dreams will teach your brain that you are placing importance on dreaming and it will start to pay more attention to what is happening while you dream. Write down every detail of your dreams that you remember into a dream journal. Even if you only remember a few details, write them down. As time goes on, you will be able to remember more and more details and you might find yourself able to remember your whole dream.

Pay Attention: Pay attention to the details you are writing down in your dream journal. This, too, will teach your brain that you want your dreams to be important and your brain will start to pay more attention during the dreaming process. You should also look for patterns. You will eventually start to see trends or patterns in your dreams. The same people or situations will start to pop up. Make a note of these patterns so that your brain will know that they are important when they turn up in your dreams.

Reality Testing. There are two types of reality testing: The first is to, on a regular basis, ask yourself if you are dreaming. If you make a habit of asking yourself if you are dreaming a few times during your waking hours, your brain will start to ask itself if it is dreaming while you are asleep. The law of numbers says that it is bound to happen while you are dreaming, and the stronger the habit is, the more likely you are to have lucid dreams on a regular basis. When you come across a situation or person that you’ve noticed in your dream journal as being recurring, stop and ask yourself if you are dreaming or if you are awake. This way, when it happens in your dream you will be more likely to realize that you are dreaming.

Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams or the MILD technique. This is one of the lucid dreaming techniques developed by Stephen LaBerge, a pioneer in the study of lucid dreaming. It consists of, basically, telling yourself that you will remember your dreams. Concentrate on the intention to remember your dream as you fall asleep. This works best after waking up from a dream that you didn’t try to remember.

There are many books on learning how to induce lucid dreams and if you work hard, you will have more and more lucid dreams.

These are just a few lucid dreaming techniques.

Lucid Dreams are dreams in which the person realizes that he or she is dreaming.

Often the person will realize that they can control the events and characters within the dream and that they can perform actions that they would never be able to perform during their waking hours. Much scientific research has been done in the field of lucid dreams and being able to willingly enter this dream state is considered by many to be a great skill. People have described lucid dreaming to be very vivid and to feel very real.

There are two different ways in which a dream can become lucid. The person can have a dream-initiated lucid dream or a wake-initiated lucid dream. The first is the name given to a dream that starts out as a normal dream but during which the dreamer realizes that they are dreaming. The second method involves going directly from be overtly conscious to dreaming without any lapses in the brain’s lucidity.

There are several noted scientists who have done research into the field of lucid dreams.

Allan Hobson is one scientist who has done a lot of work in the neurophysiologic substance of dreams. He has brought the field of lucid dreaming into the factual and out of the speculative realm. Celia Green was the scientist who discovered that a lucid dream is wholly different from any other kind of dream (aka “normal” dream) and she was the scientist who first linked lucidity during dreams to false awakenings and the REM sleep cycle. Keith Hearne was the scientist who was actually able to prove that the brain waves during REM sleep were the most like the brain waves observed by an awake person. Stephen LaBerge, however is probably the field’s most noted researcher. LaBerge is the scientist who founded the Lucidity Institute and has published several books on ways a person can willingly enter a lucid dream.

Lucid dreams are experienced most often during childhood, though they are also experienced by adults.

There is scientific evidence, however, that shows children being the better able to dream lucidly. As previously stated, many people view the ability to enter a lucid dream on purpose to be an activity of high skill. This skill, while it can be developed, is highly rare and it takes a lot of work to develop it.

Even though the scientific research done on lucid dreams has only taken place during the last fifty years or so, lucid dreaming has been reported all throughout history. The first written record or a lucid dream was recorded by St. Augustine in the fifth century AD. Lucid dreams have been linked to a high level of spirituality, and there are Tibetan Buddhists who practice a form of yoga which is supposed to induce lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is a field that is filled with much curiosity. Scientists and Spiritualists are equally intrigued by the phenomenon. Whether the lucid dreams is simple science or a complicated spiritual experience has yet to be determined.

Lucid Dreaming Books

Lucid dreaming is the name given to dreams in which the person knows that they are dreaming. Some people have even been known to control the circumstances of the dream and have reported being able to do superhuman feats that they would never be able to do in “regular life.” Lucid dreaming is a subject on which there is a ton of information. Finding lucid dreaming books is not very hard at all. In fact, the hardest task you will have, when looking for lucid dreaming books, is choosing which one is the best one to take home.

Here are a few lucid dreaming books that might be able to help you learn more about lucid dreaming.

Lucid Dreaming: A Concise Guide to Awakening in Your Dreams and in Your Life by Stephen Laberge is actually a book and CD that teaches the readers and listeners methods to “wake up” while they are dreaming (but without sacrificing the dream state). The author spent twenty years studying lucid dreaming at Stanford University and he draws upon that for the advice and stories in his book. This book and cd has gotten rave reviews.

Lucid Dreams in 30 Days, Second Edition: The Creative Sleep Program by Keith Harary and Pamela Weintraub is another of the lucid dreaming books that you should consider buying. It is a guide to lucid dreaming and it promises to use techniques that will teach readers to lucid dream. The book takes a step by step approach to teaching and promises readers that, in thirty days, they will be come skilled at lucid dreaming. Most of the reviews of this book are extremely positive—it has even gotten a fair amount of five star reviews!

The Paradox of Sleep: The Story of Dreaming by Michel Jouvet and Laurence Garey is another of the more popular lucid dreaming books that is available both in bookstores and through book selling websites. This is a book that uses scientific fact as well as well written prose to explore the phenomenon of lucid dreaming. The book is actually an essay collection that is pieced together with intermittent narrative and explains the different between the types of sleep people experience, and whether dreams evolve with the creature that is dreaming them. This book has gotten rave reviews.

Dreaming: An Introduction to the Science of Sleep by J Allan Hobson is one of the lucid dreaming books that takes the scientific approach to what lucid dreams are, as opposed to the books that promise to teach you how to achieve them. The book can be a little dry, but it is definitely interesting. Reviewers say that it answered their questions about dreams and introduced new ideas about dreaming itself.

Lucid dreaming is a fascinating subject, and if you have any doubt about this, a quick stroll through the psychology section at your local bookstore will show you just how popular the subject of dreams is.

Finding the right lucid dreaming books to read can be a long process, but in the end you will have some very interesting reading waiting for you.

Lucid Dreaming How To

Lucid dreams are those dreams you have in which you realize that you are dreaming. They can be incredibly interesting and often fun (after all, once you realize you are dreaming, you get to control the dream) and many people like to use lucid dreaming as a method for working through other things that are happening in their lives. Some people just like to have lucid dreams because the dreams themselves are so fascinating. Of course, learning how to have lucid dreams can be a long process. Consciously inducing lucid dreams is regarded by many to be a sign of great skill by the dreamer.

Here is a quick “lucid dreaming how to” to help you on your way to giving yourself lucid dreams.

The first thing you must learn to do is to remember your dreams. This can take quite a while, but it will help you out quite a bit on your way to lucid dreaming. How to remember your dreams? Here are a few tips: Try not to move first thing in the morning. Stay completely still and do your best to go back over your dream and remember everything that happened. Give yourself a solid grasp on as much of the dream as possible before you move. Movement yanks us out of our dream state before we can give ourselves a chance to remember our dreams. Record every detail of your dreams that you remember in a dream journal. The act of remembering and recording your dreams will teach your brain to give significance to the dreams you are having and you will probably find yourself being able to remember more of the dreams as time goes on.

The next tip of our “lucid dreaming how to” is to give yourself reality checks.

Every so often, ask yourself if you are dreaming. Do this at regular intervals and in a short period of time, it will become a subconscious action and you will find yourself doing it during one of your dreams. Another step to help this along is to pay attention to what you write in your dream journal. Your dream journal will start to follow patterns. You’ll notice that the same people, situations and things pop up in your dreams. When you encounter these subjects, do a reality check. Your brain will start to do reality checks every time you encounter them and eventually you will be dreaming when you do your reality check!

The last tip of our “lucid dreaming how to” is to learn your sleep patterns. Lucid dreams usually happen during REM and the best REM cycles happen when you take a nap just a few hours after waking up in the morning. This is because your brain is still receptive to the idea of sleeping and will re-enter REM much more quickly than it does when you go to sleep at night.

Lucid dreams give you a chance to reflect on your life and to do super human tricks, all at the same time! Learning how to induce lucid dreaming can be a valuable skill to have.

Easy Lucid Dreaming Techniques

So, you have read about lucid dreaming and decided that it is something that you want to learn to do yourself. You know you have had lucid dreams before, but the thought of making a lucid dream happen is a new concept to you. How do you go about making a lucid dream happen? Obviously you’ve read about keeping a dream journal and doing reality checks.

Here are a few more easy lucid dreaming techniques to get you started on the path to becoming a skilled lucid dreamer.

Technique #1 Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams: This Easy Lucid Dreaming Techniques is also called MILD and it involves setting your mindset as you are falling asleep. This technique was developed by Stephen LaBerge, one of the leading authorities on lucid dreaming and the founder of the Lucidity Institute. It works best when going back to sleep. So, after sleeping for five or six hour, wake up, record any memories from your old dream, if you had been dreaming and then, as you are falling back to sleep, tell yourself that you will remember the next dream you have. Repeat to yourself “the next time I am dreaming I will remember that I am dreaming.” Concentrate on this single thought as you fall asleep and your brain will be very likely to pay attention to the details of the dream and possibly even keep you aware of the fact that you are dreaming.

Technique #2 Nap Induced Lucid Dream. This NILD technique involves staying awake for an hour or so after you wake up before going back to bed. Let yourself sleep for five or six hours. When you wake up from this period of sleep, stay up for an hour or two before going back to sleep. Focus on remembering your dreams before you let yourself fall back to sleep. Staying awake for an hour and a half has proven to be more effective than staying awake for only an hour, and six hours of sleep is better than five but it might prove to be more restful and make it harder to go back to sleep.

Technique #3: Try staying caffeinated right up until the time you go to sleep, or when trying the Nap Induced Dream, drink some coffee or caffeinated soda during the hour and a half that you stay awake. If you are a light sleeper, try to increase your tryptophan intake (have a turkey sandwich).

Technique #4: Some herbs and vitamins can help your memory recall your dreams. Some of these herbs and vitamins include Licorice Root, St. John’s Wort, Kava Kava, Lavender, Catnip, Honeysuckle, Jasmine and Nutmeg.

There are a great many Easy Lucid Dreaming Techniques that you can choose from.

Obviously the easiest is the MILD method, but you might be able to help your lucidity by drinking some licorice tea before you go to sleep. Whatever easy lucid dreaming techniques you use, you will find that having lucid dreams can be a very rewarding experience.

How to Have Lucid Dreams

If you have ever had a lucid dream the chances are high that you are going to want to have lucid dreams. Lucid dreams, for those who haven’t heard of them before, are those dreams you have in which you know that you are dreaming. Lucid dreams are often far more vivid than the other kinds of dreams you have during the night and the details of them are easier to recall. Many people find that they can go back to their lucid dreams if they wake up from them in the middle of the night.

So have you ever wondered how to have lucid dreams?

Learning how to have lucid dreams is not an easy process. There is a lot of “prep” work involved in learning how to have lucid dreams that can take a while to master before you move on to being able to fully induce a lucid dream. Here are the preparatory steps that you have to take in order to learn the various methods of how to have lucid dreams:

1. Learn how to remember your dreams. Every morning, before you open your eyes and before you even move, go over the dream you just had. It is important that you learn how to do this before moving in the morning. Movement brings the brain back from the dream state and into a waking state, and as soon as your brain is awake, it begins to forget the details of your dreams. This is why you need to hold on to your dream-like state for as long as possible. Before you can learn how to have lucid dreams you have to learn how to remember the dreams you are already having.

2. Keep a dream journal. The act of remembering your dream is important but it isn’t all there is. Every morning when you wake up, write down all of the details from your dreams that you can remember. The act of writing down the dreams helps your brain get into the habit of noticing the details of your dreams. By spending time remembering and writing about your dreams, you are telling your brain that your dreams are just as important to you as your waking life. It will begin to pay more attention and hang on to the details.

3. Do reality checks. Get into the habit of asking yourself if you are awake. Periodically check out your environment and make sure that you are awake. There are plenty of tests that prove whether or not you are awake. When you get into the habit of checking to see if you are awake, your brain will eventually start to do this on its own, without any prompting. Eventually you will find that when you ask yourself “am I awake?” the answer will be “no.” Welcome to your lucid dream!

These are the steps you need to do to prepare yourself for having lucid dreams on purpose.

Knowing how to have lucid dreams is just part of the process.

Create Lucid Erotic Dreams

While some people want to learn how to have lucid dreams to figure out how to deal with their boss, a great majority of the people interested in learning how to have lucid dreams are really just wondering how to create lucid erotic dreams. This is because, once you realize you have control over your dreams, you can do pretty much whatever you want and not have to worry about the consequences the way you would in your waking life.

With most of western culture obsessed with sex, it is no wonder that most people want to create lucid erotic dreams.

The trick to being able to create lucid erotic dreams is to learn how to create lucid dreams. You can worry about the level of erotica after you learn how to enter your dream consciously. There are several techniques that will help you have lucid dreams, but there are two that work better for beginners.

The first technique for someone who is new to creating lucid dreams is to try the Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (or MILD) technique. This technique is incredibly easy. At night when you are falling asleep focus on the idea of staying aware in your dreams. Tell yourself that you will know that you are dreaming and that you will remember the dream. Repeat it over and over to yourself and you are highly likely to have a dream that, even if you could not control it, that you remember vividly. If you want to use this technique to create lucid erotic dreams, simply add that to the things you are focusing on. If you want to have sex with a certain person tell yourself that you are going to dream about that, that you are going to be aware that you are dreaming and that you are going to remember the dream. This method is not one hundred percent effective for beginners; it is the easiest method to master.

The next method for people who are not skilled at creating lucid dreams is the Wake Back to Bed. This is where you mess up your sleep schedule a little bit. When you go to bed, set your alarm to a time that lets you get only five or six hours of sleep. When the alarm goes off, get up for an hour to an hour and a half and then go back to sleep. You will likely drop back into a REM cycle. As you are falling asleep employ the MILD method to create lucid erotic dreams for yourself.

This method should give you better results than simply using the MILD method to create lucid erotic dreams.

Creating lucid erotic dreams is something that probably everyone is curious about. Where else can you do whatever you want without any repercussions but in your dreams? Create lucid erotic dreams is a way for people to live out fantasies and to try things they might be too afraid to try while they are awake.
