Lucid dreaming is a state of deep concentration, wherein you are aware and in control of your surroundings. Lucid dreaming is a practice that need to be learned, practiced, and refined. Here are four tips on becoming lucid at will. These tips are particularly effective when it comes to unleashing your full creative potential and developing the extremely powerful lucid dreaming abilities you have.
First, the process requires you to visualize the things and places you want to see or do in the future. For example, if you're planning to visit a new place, visualize it as if it's already there. It takes practice, but after awhile, you'll easily be able to visualize your desired destination in your head. Remember to focus on the object or location instead of thinking about what you want to do or say while dreaming.
Second, the process requires that you realize that you are dreaming and the subconscious mind is also dreaming. You have the power to control your dreams, so don't be afraid to let your subconscious creativity and imagination guide you to a more fulfilled life. Your dreams are not necessarily "raining" on you, but you can learn to control your dreaming so that the events in your dreams are more positive.
Third, use dream recall and dream therapy. This trick is very effective, since you can immediately remember your previous dreams if you have had lucid dreaming experiences in the past. Dream recall is the ability to remember your dreams. If you've had many lucid dreaming experiences, you will be able to recall more easily your most recent dreams. Remembering your dreams is an important aspect of successful lucid dreaming, and you must learn how to do this properly if you want to get the most out of your lucid dreaming sessions.
Fourth, learn how to control your imagination. In this section, we will discuss the tricks for becoming lucid and aware during your dreaming experiences. The main thing to remember is that you are dreaming and becoming aware does not mean that you are becoming lucid or aware. Instead, it means that you are remembering your dreams and dreaming each time you become aware. Each time you are aware, you are dreaming.
Fifth, learn about dream cycles. Every dream cycle is unique, even when you look at it on paper. The best way to remember these dream cycles is to imagine that you are making a chart of your dreams, writing in colors to remind yourself of the colors of your dreams. You will then see that dream cycles are repeated over again, and which ones you can simply ignore.
Sixth, remember that dreams are not always pleasant or happy. Some dreams can be nightmares, depending on how deeply they are embedded in your subconscious. If you are trying to learn how to become lucid dreaming, then you should also remember that you have bad dreams as well. You may find that some dreams are so disturbing that they keep you awake or pull you out of deep sleep, causing you to wake up in the middle of the night.
Finally, keep a dream journal to record your dreams. This is probably the most important of all the tricks for lucid dreaming. You should write down everything you do and remember while you are having a lucid dream. When you wake up, you will be able to remember the dreams that occurred during the time you were awake. This will help you determine what areas you need to improve upon before you ever attempt lucid dreaming on your own.
