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 had lucid dream years ago, when I was about 10 or 12 (I am now 19). I commonly had this kind of dreams, about 2 or 3 times a week for 3 years or so. After I’ve had the same dream for about 2 years, I realized that it was a dream. But I couldn’t control it, as I tried to. But after telling myself that I was in a dream, it had stopped, till to this day.
PS. It was nightmares.
I have been using other sites for lucid dreaming help, but this site easily tops the others. I cannot wait to get started. I need to learn how to lucid dream. I have only had two or three experiences with it, and it is awsome.
My first experience was when I was about four, and I was playing on a playground with my friends. I suddenly realized something, and asked them “am I dreaming?” They of course said no, but I atleast had those couple seconds of lucidity.
The next was a few weeks ago, and I was in a jungle like place. I had been working on lucid dreaming for a few weeks (although not very hard) and I realized I was dreaming. I usually have third-person POV dreams, so I switched to first person POV, and it was awsome. I tried really hard, and I could feel the wet grass under my feet. I started running, and tried growing wings to fly. By this time, I was quickly losing lucidity, but I had always wanted to first person POV fly in a dream. I got off the ground for a few seconds, before my dream started giving me warning signs equivalent to error messages on a computer. I then woke up.
But next time I lucid dream, I am going to be ready for it. I will have FULL lucidity instead of only like half, and I will be able to be in first person POV without effort. I hope this website will help me.
thank you this helped me a lot!
