Step By Step Lucid Dream

People have asked me lately about a short list of how to lucid dream  Here is mine.
1.  Keep a Dream Journal right by your bed and write down exactly what you can remember   Do this right away, Don't get up.  You will forget the dreams if you don't log them.

2.  Do Reality checks during the day.  Like glancing at your watch,  then looking away, and glancing back.  When you look back at the watch, The Time is the same. There will be of course, no change.   Do this during the day.  This may sound a little strange,  however, It prepares your mind for when you will do the same thing in your dream. This is very important.

3.  Think about the dream you had, or want to have during the day. Keep any image in your mind.

4.   Look at the dream Journal when you go to bed. Think on it when you go to sleep.

5.   Repeat  in your mind, as silently as you can, as to not stay awake. Something like,
  "The next time I have a dream, I will be aware that I am Dreaming. Am I dreaming? Is this a dream?  over and over till so it's the last thing you think of before you fall asleep.  

6.  When you are asleep, Do reality checks in your dream. How? Well you have trained your conscious mind on reality checks in the daytime already, so after some practice during the day, your mind will do it while you are asleep also. That's why  the practice of daytime reality checks is so important. It prepares your mind to do it when you achieve REM sleep. 

    In REM sleep, (sleep cycle stage of sleep),  in your dream, Do a reality check.    Look at your watch,  then look away, just as you did while awake. The Time or something will be different. You're  conscious  mind remembers the reality checks during the day, when nothing changed.  Now something  has changed. It know that this is not possible, So the conscious mind enters the dream. It will be aware that you are dreaming, because you practiced the Mantra, from step 5, before you went to sleep. You will now be dreaming with the conscious mind being aware that you are dreaming, and observing the dream.  For the first few times this happens, you will probably wake up at that point. I know I did. It's perfectly normal. The conscious mind gets surprised at it at first, and wakes you up. This will pass though. After a few times doing this, you will remain asleep, while your conscious mind observes and remembers the dream. The key here is to train your mind to remember the dream. That is why the dream Journal, when you wake up is important also. It helps you to remember your dreams.   With practice you can learn to control  these dreams, and that  is where the fun starts.

7.    Don't get discouraged.  This takes a little time.  The entire key is to remember your Dreams.  As I was explaining yesterday,  It's like say,  you had an accident, were knocked out for a week, Woke up with amnesia.  Doesn't mean it didn't happen, cause it did.   You just don't remember.  When you do finally remember, It's as clear as a bell. Same kind of thing here.  Except without the accident of course.
As I said, Remembering is the key! It's very important!.

I will be on line later Till then My friends.
