After reading other comments, I like what mr. John Brown has to say. My research agrees that taking action during the day help to establish a state of mind that allows you to realize your in a dream, hence lusid dreaming. Also to take action during the dream, and thismust be done quickly as most dreams, even though they seen to last a long time, only last a few minutes. The main thing mr Brown said is that it does take practice. I also like what Mr. Brian says, that this is free and a wonderful experience! CHEERS!

I am inclined to agree with mr. John Brown. He states that taking action while awake stimulates the mind and allows it to recognize things or situations during sleep. Also that if lucid dreaming is realized, action within the dream helps to maintain it, and while dreams seem to take a long time, in reality they take only a few minutes from begining to end. The most important thing is that it takes practice! GOOD LUCK!

Hello from a member of the Dream Views website!
The best way for many beginners to start out with lucid dreaming is to keep a dream journal. You must first be able to recall your dreams before you can go any further! You’ll also learn to recognize your own “dream signs” and “dream characters” – regularly recurring events/places/people that remind you to check whether you are indeed dreaming. For instance, one of my dream signs is school (I’m ten years out of it, so it’s become easier for me to realize that if I’m in school, I’m likely dreaming.) However, my dream characters are typically my family members (making it just slightly harder to do a “reality check.”)
Cheers!

I’ve been trying to lucid dream since i was 12, but I was never able to. I read somewhere that you should get someone to whisper in your ear while you’re sleeping, “You’re dreaming…It’s just a dream…”, etc. I asked my sister to do it, and she did, fora few nights, but every single time i woke up!

I’ve never understood why Lucid Dreaming isn’t a more popular subject – it’s limitless, free, and only requires a bit of conscious effort. There’s an abundance of good information about lucid dreaming out there. Nobody has mentioned Stephen LaBerge’s work. Check out “Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming” – it approaches the concept from a scientific perspective, well researched and validated. Or, if your into the more spiritual aspect, there’s “The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep” by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Just keep trying and eventually it will happen … but, most of all, have fun!

ANOTHER GREAT LUCID DREAM I REMEMBER IS IN THE DREAM I REALIZED I’M DREAMING AND COMMUNICATE THIS TO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE DREAM AND EVEN GOT SOME NAMES…IN CASE WE WERE TWO HUMANS ACTUALLY CONECTED IN DREAM STATE OR SOMETHING, SILLY BUT FUN. I STILL SAY FLYING THE SPACE SHUTTLE WAS THE GREATEST!

I was just talking about this with a teacher the other day. His biggest tip was similar to one in the article: throughout your day, look at clocks and try to change the times on them, so that it will be habit and when you get in a dream you’ll do it and be able to change it, thuse finding out you are in a dream. I haven’t gotten a chance to try it yet.

I’ve always been able to control my dreams and only found out it was something everyone couldn’t do as I got older and started asking people about their dreams. I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing I can fly and knowing I can start any car I want. When I was younger I could pause my dream and pull up a menu, like in video games, to pick different weapons and stuff. I haven’t been able to do that since I was younger.

I can’t even manage to remember my dreams! I am only vaguely aware that I have them.
