Lucid dreams are one of the most fascinating things which you can experience. These are dreams which you can take control and decide what will happen. In lucid dreams, you know that you are dreaming, which is why you are in charge of the dream; and anything that you want to make part of your dream is yours to have.

It’s like having your own movie studio with an unlimited budget – anything you want to see or experience is within your power to make happen.

Unlike regular dreams which follow their own pace and their own internal logic, lucid dreams can be controlled by the dreamer. Your lucid dreams seem incredibly real, no matter how fantastic the events you decide to make a part of them.

You can usually tell a lucid dream apart from other dreams through this technique; try reading something in your dream. If the words keep changing or do not form intelligible language, then you’re having a regular dream. If you can read and even dictate the contents of your reading material, then you are lucid dreaming.

When youre lucid dreaming, anything you imagine is possible. You can live out any fantasy you have, meet anyone you want and go anywhere.

Since you’re in control of a lucid dream, you can always change the course of events. You can replay parts of your life, changing the outcome for the better; this can help you to come to terms with some things which may be hard to process psychologically.

Lucid dreams are something which anyone can learn to do. While your body needs to rest to take care of essential biological functions like cellular repair, you can do so while a part of your mind remains conscious and active. This is what occurs in lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming is a skill which needs to be learned through practice. Developing the ability to lucid dream at will takes time and you will need to be patient; but anyone can have lucid dreams.

One of the best ways to start having lucid dreams is to work on remembering the details of your dreams. Keep a pad of paper and a pen or pencil near your bed so that you can write down everything you remember from your dreams as soon as you wake up. Eventually, you’ll train your mind to recall dreams and to recognize dream states while you sleep. This will allow you to ‘wake up’ within your dream and begin lucid dreaming.

In fact, writers have been known to keep records of their lucid dreams to help them plan out characters and plots for their stories and novels. Lucid dreaming is a good way to exercise your creativity and try some new ideas.

When you get into the habit of remembering your dreams, you’ll be able to return to your dreams when you go back to sleep and start controlling their course.

The best time to have lucid dreams is in the hour or two before you normally wake up. Often you may wake up at this time and go back to bed; while it might feel as if you’ve been lying awake thinking, you are usually lucid dreaming during this time.

Dream recall is the first step in learning to have lucid dreams. Meditation and relaxation techniques can also help you to get into the right state to have dreams which you control. Self hypnosis helps a lot of people to speed up the process by training them to remember their dreams.

One new advance in audio technology can also be of assistance to you in learning to have lucid dreams. Binaural beats are specially recorded frequencies which attune the two hemispheres of your brain to the proper frequency to reach a lucid dreaming state.
