Tags: lucid, dream, dreaming, how, how to, do, steps, guide, nightmare, control, sleep, REM, sleeping, bed, night
Here are the simple, step-by-step instructions on how to participate in a lucid dream while you are sleeping. It is insane... try it!
| 1. | You have to want to do it.
Training Before You Go To Sleep |
| 2. | Play relaxing music on low volume. |
| 3. | Lie down and close eyes. Lie on left side if comfortable, if not, gently touch forefinger to thumb of each hand and let hands rest by side. |
| 4. | Listen to tape and do some deep breathing. (Try 21 deep breaths) |
| 5. | Imagine and feel a point of white light in middle of forehead. Sense it radiating its light in front of the brain and directly in front of you.
Practice Exercise |
| 6. | Imagine and feel you are walking along a deserted beach at twilight. Notice the sky, moon, stars. As you walk, sense the point of white light on forehead, look down at hands and feet. Rotate hands and look at them in the light of the moon and stars. |
| 7. | Next, imagine you reach the entrance to an underground cave. Walk down seven stairs, reach out to open the door and look at hand. Walk into a cavernous room with many doors. Atmosphere of calmness and peace. |
| 8. | You will find yourself drawn to one of the doors. Know that your chosen door holds something of value behind it. As you walk towards the door, feel the point of light, and glance down at the hands and feet. When you open the door, look at your hand. Enter the next room and explore everything - the people or beings you find there may be metaphorical. You may talk to anyone. As you explore, occasionally glance at hands or feet and feel the point of white light on the forehead. |
| 9. | After exploring the room, return to the first room and the entrance that leads to the stairs. Open the door and walk to the beach. Bring awareness back to physical body, and slowly open eyes.
Preparation for Lucid Dreaming |
| 10. | Lie on left side if it feels comfortable as above. |
| 11. | Close eyes, deep breathing (or Level One Breathing). |
| 12. | Imagine point of white light in forehead. |
| 13. | As your awareness rests on this point, say to yourself silently: "I intend to have lucid dreams tonight. I recognize when I am dreaming and I am able to move freely in my dream body." (Can use any similar statement). |
| 14. | Continue to keep mental focus gently at point of light in the middle of forehead. When you feel yourself drifting off to sleep, let go of the focus. |
| 15. | Ask yourself whether you are awake or dreaming throughout the day, so that you can get into the habit of asking the same question while you are dreaming. Really think about it before you answer.
Dream Recalls |
| 16. | Set up dream recall - Before going to bed, resolve to wake up and recall dreams during each dream period throughout the night (or when you wake up in the morning). |
| 17. | Recall your dream - When you awake from a dream period, no matter what time it is, recall as many details as possible from your dream. |
| 18. | Focus your intent - While returning to sleep, concentrate on your intention to remember to recognize that you are dreaming. |
| 19. | See yourself becoming lucid - At the same time, imagine that you are back in the dream from which you have just awakened, but this time you recognize that it is a dream. Find a dream sign (something odd or bizarre in a dream that alerts you to the fact that it's a dream) and say to yourself, "I'm dreaming!" and continue your fantasy. |
