What is Lucid Dreaming ?

 

Lucid dreaming is the ability to become aware that you are awake whilst you are still within your dream. It is an experience like no other. The ability to have a lucid dream can be taught. It comes naturally to some people whilst others have to work at it. But you CAN learn how to lucid dream.

Learn How to Lucid Dream

Lucid dreaming is a skill we all have within us and it is our objective to teach you those induction techniques. On this site, you will learn how to lucid dream as often as you'd like. Some of the lucid dreaming techniques take patience and hard work, but there is no quick fix. You will usually see results quite quickly but the more advanced lucid dreaming techniques will take longer to learn.

Feel free to browse the site. The free lucid dreaming guide can be accessed from the sidebar to the left. You may skip chapters but I would advise that you work from the beginning. Each section follows on from the last. Before soon you will be Lucid Dreaming in no time!

 

Lucid Dreaming Guide - Introduction

“I found myself sitting by the edge of the road on a red hot summer’s day. The sun was high in the sky and I could feel the sun beating down on me. I was so hot, why was I wearing my winter coat? I looked around, some of the familiar buildings looked strange. This is so odd I thought. Suddenly an overwhelming feeling ran through my body from head to toe, a feeling of excitement mixed with anticipation. I understand what’s going on..... I’m dreaming! This is unbelievable. I am awake inside my dream.”

The paragraph above is an account of what happened to my self one night when I was a young boy, no older than ten or eleven years of age. It was many years ago, but I can remember it like it was yesterday. Although I have had many experiences which have been similar and often better than that first experience, that feeling of realization that I had become fully awake whilst still inside my dream will stay with me forever.

What happened to me that night has commonly become known as a ‘Lucid Dream’. A lucid dream can be described simply as being consciously aware whilst in the dreaming state. For many years people didn’t even believe it was possible for this to happen but thankfully it is now an accepted phenomenon.

All those years ago, I had no idea what had happened to me, just that it was great fun, and I couldn’t wait for it to happen again, which luckily it did. As I became more proficient at lucid dreaming I developed certain ideas and techniques along the way which helped me achieve my lucid dreams. Unknown to me at the time, (The Internet didn’t yet exist in its present form.) many other people were having just as much fun and using their own methods and techniques.

The aim of this lucid dreaming guide, is to bring together those different ideas so that beginners and experts alike can use this information to accelerate their progress in attaining lucid dreams without having to go through quite as much trial and error, avoiding the pitfalls and hopefully mastering the techniques that will allow them to have more full and enjoyable lucid dreams.

i was born a true lucid dreamer which i am told is very rare . however in my middle thirties afterb sleeping nonstop not even a bathroom break for well over 72 hours i realzed i had to stop and have not allowed this to happen in over 20 years. to someone born with this abilitiy the dream world that is dreaming what you want when you want as long as you want is more powerful and more addictive than any drug or pratrice i became so involed as a absloute god in this world i didnot think the real world was not real and a real let down i got to the point to where my memories of dreams and real memories were hard to tell apart so i tell this story as a warning be careful what you whish for it could be more than you need
cool stuff

This was my second night of dream journal, and i had a lucid dream. I aasked myself, Am i dreaming? about when the dream started, and i was lucid. It only lasted a few minutes, and i couldn't change the scenery. Why do i only remember it very vaguely?
I need help

Last night I think i entered lucidity, but when I tried to do things that would normally be possible in dreams, none of them worked. I then felt like I was waking up, so I started to spin in circles in my dream (apparently that's a good way to stay asleep) but I decided to stop and "woke up" but I only entered another dream. Any tips on how to do the impossible in dreams?
Thx!

This is the first time I've ever visited this site, and I can't wait to try it, while I read this. I was listening to music, then wondered if Music in any type of way, would alter/be beneficial to Lucid Dreaming?
Great Introduction

What a great site. I've been lucid dreaming on and off for years but I've had little success with regular lucid dreaming. I was hoping to find something like this. Lots of good quality advice. Thanks and keep up the good work!
