5、ve Owen on a train. Ive heard that its possible to control the course of our dreams via lucid dreaming, but I always assumed that it was an innate ability.

6、 dreams into fantasies that make it even more exciting to crawl into bed. 1. Dream Journaling A good place to start the lucid dreaming process is to keep a record of previous dre, ams.

7、. Put a notebook and pen next to your bed and immediately upon waking write down everything you can remember from your dreams.

8、ter all, whats the point of lucid dreaming if you cant remember it in the morning? 2. Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD) This technique, created by psychophysiologist Stephen LaBerge, stresses the recognition of dreaming while its in process.

10、ep stage during which lucid dreaming most commonly occurs). It might help to state aloud, “I am aware of my dream state,“ as you drift off. Look for indications-also called dream signs-that alert you to the fact that youre dreaming. These could be anything that are out of the ordinary or would be im

11、possible in real life (the previously-mentioned two-headed monster, for example). This technique can take a while to master, but with steady practice, you can learn to recognize dream signs while still in the dream state, thereby putting yourself in control of the situation. 3. Reality Testing Reali

12、ty testing requires constant attention to the world around us-both in dreams and in real life. When going through your day, perform small checks to determine if what youre seeing is possible in reality. The answer will usually be yes since yon know youre awake (and itll probably feel silly at first)

13、, but the repeated questioning will set your mind up to take the same actions in dreams.

But if a spouses hair is blonde instead of brown, thats a clear signal

14、 for someone using reality testing that he or she is actually dreaming, and this knowledge allows more control over the course of the dream.

16、ep you awake) as your body moves into deep sleep. According to the Lucidity Institute, a group that promotes lucid dreaming research and theories, you must start with about five or six hours of sleep before attempting WILD. Upon waking, stay up for anywhere from half an hour to an hour, and then try

17、 to fall back asleep while remaining conscious of whats going on and thinking about your next dream. Many people enter a hypnagogic state (the period of grogginess preceding sleep) at this point, since their bodies have already passed through the previous sleep stages during the five-to six-hour per

18、iod. As youre getting closer to the REM stage, you might see strange colors or images behind your closed eyes or hear odd noises-this is part of falling into a dream state.

Lucid Dreaming Induction Devices (LDID) For those who cant achieve lucid dreaming on their own, there are products on the market designed to help you enter the desired dream state.

20、It involves a mask that goes over your eyes that flashes lights or emits a sound when you fall into the REM stage of sleep. The REM-Dreamer is a similar product that claims to have better technology than LaBerges version. Theyre both meant to serve as a reminder that you are actually dreaming, and,

21、with practice, that semi-awareness will grant you the ability to direct the course of your dreams. 6.

22、l triggers are mustard, dairy, pickles, and popcorn. However, eating these foods too late at night might prevent someone from falling asleep altogether. Feel free to try it, especially if a pickle craving is actually keeping you awake at night. However, you might be better off attempting one of the

23、other techniques first. There are other similar methods suggested for lucid dreaming and many of them center on achieving a certain state of consciousness while altering sleeping patterns.
