Lucid dreams feel real, colorful, and vivid.
The best part of lucid dreaming is that you are fully aware that you are dreaming.
What's more, you can even control your dreams.
You can decide what you would like to dream about.
You can even choose the type of dream to have.
Accordingly, you can fly, swim, visit exotic lands, meet interesting people, and so on and so forth in your lucid dreams.
In case you haven't had a lucid dream yet, rest assured that you will really enjoy lucid dreaming.
How can you have a lucid dream? Although lucid dreaming is natural and all of us have a lucid dream as a rare treat, you can develop the art of lucid dreaming in order to enjoy lucid dreams at will.
You only have to follow certain techniques and practice diligently.
Here are some great techniques to induce a lucid dream.
1.
Maintain a dream diary Dreams are elusive; you can easily forget your dreams if you wait till mid-day to record them.
Therefore, keeping a dream diary is of utmost importance.
Place a notebook and a pencil or a recorder near your bed.
On waking up, make a note of whatever you remember of your dreams.
As the days pass, the quality of your dream recall will get better.
Why keep a dream journal? Knowing exactly what you dream about will enable you to establish better control over your dreams.
2.
Go back to bed Don't get out of bed immediately after waking up.
Go back to bed and sleep for two more hours.
People have their best lucid dreams during the early morning hours.
3.
Make a note of your sleep patterns If you are totally unaware of your sleep habits, make a careful study of them.
A thorough knowledge of your sleep habits can help you determine the ideal time to have a lucid dream.
Lucid dreams occur in cycles of ninety minutes.
If you are making an attempt to remember your dream, you must wake up just before the end of one lucid dreaming cycle.
4.
Use the alarm clock Set the alarm clock so that you can wake up two hours prior to your usual waking time.
When the alarm clock goes off, turn it off and go back to sleep.
Most likely, you will have a lucid dream now.
In case your alarm clock wakes you up in the midst of a lucid dream, go back to sleep thinking about that dream, and you will find that you can continue with what you were dreaming about.
Lucid dreaming is not really that difficult.
One you have learned dream control, you will find yourself able to alter them according to your tastes and preferences.
In other words, you can have the dreams of your choice.
You no longer have to snore the night away; you can have the most entertaining and fun time ever, doing whatever you like in your lucid dreams.
