Introduction
As lucid dreaming becomes more well known, interested parties (be it a hopeful
novice or seasoned expert) are beginning to gather to ask questions, share tips
and tricks, and to just generally appreciate the phenomenon.
Among the wealth of knowledge that is rapidly becoming available is the idea to
learn this skill in as little time as possible and to be able to lucid dream on
demand.
While there is not a guarantee that you will have your first lucid dreaming
experience tonight. These are some powerful techniques that will speed up your
progress. And eliminates some common problems faced with lucid dreaming.
Lucid dreaming normally takes a great deal of effort and time to go into that state
at will.
It most likely ought not to be like that provided that you are equipped with the
efficient tools as well as knowledge in accomplishing it.
It really isn't that difficult to learn. And you can expect to see results in just a few
weeks In the following few chapters we will look at some common lucid dreaming
techniques. There isn't a one technique suits all when it comes to lucid dreaming.
Some techniques don't suit everyone for instance the WBTB method would be a
little tricky if you have to get up early in the morning for work and family
commitments. We will cover MILD, WILD, WBTB, FILD AND DEILD along with
some of the problems you might face. So that you can work out which one suits
you best. So let's get started...

What is lucid dreaming?

Our dreams have been responsible for some of the most incredible breakthroughs
in human history.
Mary Shelley, who wrote what is considered to be the world's first sci-fi novel
claimed that the idea for Frankenstein came to
her in a vivid waking dream.
Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein maintained
that he discovered the theory of relativity, one of
the two pillars of modern physics in a dream.
Even Paul McCartney (of the Beatles fame) said
that he dreamt up the entire tune of Yesterday
in his sleep.
Many psychologists now agree that our dreams
are an on-going thought process that happens
even when we are asleep.
There are two kinds of dreams most people experience - normal dreams in
which we are unaware of the fact that what we are experiencing is a fabricated
reality, and lucid dreams wherein we know that we are in a dream state.
What this means is that lucidity is more than just having a clear dream. Lucid
dreaming is when a person is aware that they are dreaming while in the dream
state.

You dont have to control anything in your dream. You can just let your dream
play out, though control is what beginning lucid dreamers often want.
What is lucid dreaming like?
Everyone we know has had a lucid dream at least once in their lifetime. They are
intense and exciting and a truly phenomenal experience.
The colors are brighter, and everything is more detailed than in real life. And
because it takes place inside your brain cells, you can push any limit or boundary
you like.
Imagine your own little virtual reality world where you can do anything you want
(fly across the world like Superman, travel to mystic places, meet your dream
lover or even Cinderellas Prince Charming for that matter),
stuff that you would never be able to do in real life (taste fire, live underwater), or
tackle your fears (someone with a fear of heights can safely experience the
adrenaline rush that comes with, say, bungee jumping or sky diving).
With lucid dreaming, we can even live out our dreams. Literally! Because,
theoretically speaking, only when one is aware that one is dreaming can one exert
any sort of control over ones dream.
And why would anyone want to control their dreams? Simply because lucidity is a
way of accessing our subconscious minds, which basically means that everything
we experience in a lucid world is really our subconscious.
And once we know how to harness this ability, we can use it to our advantage in
real life- to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, to solve problems,

overcome fears or even to heal physical and mental problems, exploring the
boundaries of your own agency and the limits of the universe.

Lucid dreaming Benefits

Many people are interested in lucid dreaming but not as many know that if
properly used, it could greatly enhance their lives.
Here are the benefits of lucid dreaming and a few things you could do while in the
lucid world.
Benefits of lucid dreaming.
Knowing your inner self
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to meet the real you?
Often referred to as our subconscious or inner self, this is the part of you
that sits in the background and constantly multi-tasks, controlling
happenings in our bodies. Your feelings of love, fear, anger, joy etc are
generated by the subconscious mind.
Communicating with this aspect of yourself helps to understand some
issues in your life.
Controlling anxiety
Every one of us is daily confronted with situations that cause us anxiety.
This fact cannot be escaped. Lucid dreaming can allow you control anxiety
in advance. Imagine theres a meeting you have been dreading for weeks,
practice the meeting in advance in your lucid dreams. You would find you
are more relaxed and able to handle whatever on the day of the actual
meeting.

Great source of inspiration.

The great minds behind many works of art, literature, science and
technology have frequently attributed their source to events encountered
while lucid dreaming. Director James Cameron for example, when
discussing the movie Avatar, in an interview with Hollywood Today cited
lucid dreaming as the basis for some of the scenes.

A gateway to spirituality.
It can help you discover spirituality on a level you are comfortable with,
excluding the dogma and routine of organized religious institutions.
Things you can do in the lucid world
The lucid world is an alternate reality where you are free to act and experience all
around you without fear or restrictions. It would be a good idea to know a few of
the many things you can do while there so you truly have a mind-blowing
experience.
Meet famous people.
This is a chance to meet celebrities you like. If you can visualize them, you
can interact with them.

Push the boundaries of your body and explore.

Do you imagine flying off the edge of a mountain? Go ahead. You may fall a
few times dont worry, its just a dream and with practice you would be
doing it smoothly. What of diving in the Caribbean, extreme sports,
running through solid walls and super strength? All can be done.

Reunite with lost loved ones.

Sometimes we loose the ones we love and it can be more painful when the
death was sudden. In the lucid world, it is possible to visualise them and
spend a little time with them.

Conquer fears.
It could be fear of spiders or heights, whatever the case if you continuously
confront these fears while lucid, your unconscious self gradually begins to
accept them and before you know it the fear is gone in the real world.

Just have fun.

Lucid dreaming allows you to escape the everyday stress of living. You can
scream and laugh at the top of your voice. Run on water or fly a fighter jet.

This chapter just highlights a few of the many possibilities of lucid dreaming. With
practice it could really become a great tool for you. Remember, the only thing
holding you back is your imagination.

W.I.L.D ( Wake Induced Lucid Dream)

The W.I.L.D. method, also known as the Wake Induced Lucid Dream, involves a
whole class of lucid dreaming induction methods in which your aim is to shift your
consciousness from waking state to a sleeping, yet lucid dream state. This ancient
technique originates from Tibetan Buddhism practices and acts as a natural way
of entering the dream realm.
Among all other lucid dreaming methods, this
one is considered to be the most powerful
technique for two reasons. First, it allows you
to choose when you enter the dream state and
second, it lets you experience heightened
awareness without any suspension of
consciousness.
Before we begin the four steps of the W.I.L.D.
method, it is important to stress a little about the timing, since its a vital aspect.
Therefore, the perfect timing is usually after 4-6 hours of sleep. In other words,
when you are deeply relaxed and your REM sleep cycle is the longest. In order to

pull this off, you need to set an alarm to wake you at the right time. Now that
thats settled, read on below and find out how to lucid dream using this method.
1. Relax your body and mind
Remember how you fall asleep each night? Basically, thats what well attempt to
replicate, only without allowing your mind to drift asleep. This means only your
body will go to sleep while youll keep your mind wide awake. While this sounds
quite difficult, if not downright impossible, rest assured it is very do-able and easy
once mastered.
To begin with, your body should be very relaxed and loose. This is why I stressed
the timing issue above. The first step of the method is easier to do upon waking
up from deep sleep. Simply find a comfortable position in which you can lie
without moving. Then, you must proceed emptying your mind and focusing on
the blackness you perceive with your closed eyes. If any thoughts happen to enter
your mind, know that this is completely natural. Simply acknowledge them and
then let them go.
2. The hypnagogic horizon
As soon as you have completed Step 1 successfully, your mind will enter the
hypnagogic state. This state appears when we are headed into sleep. You
are likely to see patterns and colors that take over your vision in the
darkness. What you should do at this point is allow yourself to be to be
drawn away from the outside world and focus on your visions.
Chances are you have already woken up in the middle of the night at some
point and found yourself in this dreamy state where your body was very
relaxed and your mind was exploring the dream realm effortlessly.

Regardless if youve done it before or not, at this point, your mind will
begin to expand into the lucid world. Enjoy whatever your psyche conjures
up in terms of images, sounds and feelings, all the while holding on to that
inner realization that you are dreaming.

3. Create your very own dream scene

At this point the dream state is about to begin. When you feel substantially
detached from the real world, youll be ready to begin your lucid dream. To
do this, you can choose the visualization method. If youre the type of
person who has a strong imagination, you might want to visualize a dream
scene with as much detail as possible. Focus on the location, colors, sounds,
smells and lighting of your dream scene. As you progress with the creation
of the scene, you should put yourself right in the middle of it and explore
your lucid dreaming world. Your aim at this point is to put all your
awareness into the dream realm.

4.

Enter the lucid dreaming state

The final, fourth step is to fully let go and immerse your consciousness into
the lucid sleep. This means detaching any awareness from the physical
body lying in bed and transferring it into the dream scene and dream body
you have created. However, entering the lucid dream, the place where you
control your reality and its laws, is not enough. You need to focus at this
point on stabilizing the dream to prevent yourself from waking up.
Having previously created a dream scene, youll want to keep exploring it

now, but with all your senses. Try to say out loud Im dreaming and do a
reality check you'll know youre dreaming because the whole scene will be
extremely vivid and feel like a world of its own. If you forget about your
physical body, dont worry. Lucid dreaming is similar to regular dreaming in
this way, so youll have little awareness of your actual body lying in bed
while submerged in this dream realm.

DEILD ( Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dreaming)

In this chapter on lucid dreaming we will be looking at how you can lucid dream
using Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dreaming, DEILD for short. DEILD is a version of
Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming (WILD) and is also known as dream re-entry. It
comes in handy when you are having a dream you like and are suddenly
awakened for some reason. It is possible to quickly re-enter the dream if you
wish.
Here is a step-by-step technique to dream lucidity:
1. Brief Awakening
You need to briefly wake up from an ongoing dream in order to implement DEILD.
If you are someone that is prone to waking several times at night it wont take
long to learn this. If not, try using an alarm loud enough to wake you but not fully.
The alarm should be set to go off after about 4.5 to 6 hours of sleep. This is
because you should be going deeper into the Random Eye Movement phase then.
2. Keep still
This step takes some getting used to. While you are in the between-sleep-andwake state, it is vital to remain perfectly still. Your eyes should remain shut. Any

hope of going back into the dream would be lost if you trigger your brain to wake
by moving even a muscle. Try to relax and dont think about it too much.
3. Remember the dream
With your eyes shut recall exactly where you were in the dream and what was
happening around you. Try to get back the details and whatever sensations you
were experiencing at that point.
4. Re-enter the dream
This usually happens automatically after following the 3 earlier steps properly.
Your brain would piece the dream back together and before you know it you
should find yourself back in the dream. The difference between this and other
dreams you have been having before is that you are fully aware that you are in a
dream state. You are now in a lucid sleep. You can take an active part in what
happens in the dream. Note that you have just a few seconds window of
opportunity to enter a lucid state using Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dreaming
before your brain fully awakes.
Be assured that when you dream lucid it is safe and you are actually able to wake
out of the dream when you want to. It allows you to explore the boundaries of
your fantasies and imaginations in a vivid and unrestricted way. So do give it a try
and enter into a whole new world of lucid dream experience.

MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreaming )

The term mnemonic refers to devices like abbreviations and rhymes that aid
memory.
The Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreaming (MILD) was created by Dr Stephen
LaBerge in the 1970s and was originally intended to enable lucid dreams on
demand. It has been proven to be the easiest and quickest method to learn.
Here is how it works:
1. Good dream recall rate.
You need be fairly good at remembering your dreams, at least remember a dream
a day. If you are not already good at this, start keeping a dream journal. As you
feel yourself drifting into sleep, repeat to yourself as I dream, I will wake up and
remember and believe that it works. Once you awake from each dream be sure
to write it down no matter how little you remember. Your recall rate would
improve with time.
2. Reality checks.
During the day, establish reality checks to determine if you are awake or
dreaming. You are free to choose any you like. For example, try putting your toes

through a metal box or other solid object. If dreaming, your toes should go
through but if it doesnt happen, then you know you are awake. Keep checking as
many times as possible during your daily activities. This helps to focus your self
awareness in the lucid dream world.
3. Affirm your intent to lucid dream.
For this step, you need to be relaxed and in your normal sleep position. Now,
focus your attention by repeating to yourself the next thing I see will be a
dream or I want to lucid dream tonight choose whatever dream related
affirmation you are comfortable with. It is important to master your focus at this
stage and if you feel your concentration drifting bring it back. Keep doing this until
you are well relaxed and feel like you could sleep off any moment.
4. Visualize the dream.
Imagine you are back in a recent dream or create a new one. Let the shapes,
scenery, people and other objects take form. Let your imagination be free to
explore. Then look for a dream sign. Dream signs are elements that show you
must be dreaming! It could be a puppy with strawberry ears or you could use the
same reality check mentioned in step 2 above.
What you are doing is programming your mind and practicing what you would like
to do in your next lucid dream time. This is why you really need get into the
details of the sights and sensations around you during this stage.
Continue repeating steps 3 and 4 every time you wake during the night. Just let
your last thoughts be focused on lucid dreaming just before you sleep back.
Chances are lucidity will begin to happen to you spontaneously.

A good boost to your efforts is to practice the above steps even while napping in
the afternoon. MILD is the easiest method for beginners technique so do give it a
try.

WBTB ( Wake Back to Bed Method)

Lucid dreaming can seem like an impossible goal, a magical realm that you just
cant quite reach.
If youre not having any luck with the MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid
Dreams) technique, maybe its time to try the Wake Back to Bed Method (WBTB).
Its relatively simple to set up and with practice you should be well on your way to
lucid dreaming. In this short lucid dreaming course Ill break it down into four
simple steps:
Step 1- Go to bed as you usually would
But set your alarm for six hours. Your goal is to wake up in the middle of REM
sleep. Maybe you have complete sleep cycles within 6 hours. If that is the case,
set your alarm to 4 hours. If you dont want to set an alarm you can have
someone else wake you up if they generally get up before you. Some people are
early risers. Weird, I know.
Step 2- Get out of bed.
Be alert. This is crucial. Dont sleepily sit in bed trying to keep your eyelids from

drooping. Aim to be completely alert for 20-60 minutes. Maybe plan something
youd like to create in a lucid dream, or a situation youd love to find yourself in
during your dreams.
Step 3- Go back to bed.
Some people find it difficult to get back to sleep, so if you have any troubles try
meditation. You could even incorporate the MILD technique and visualize what
you would like to dream about. Just relax and imagine your dream as clearly as
you can.
Step 4 Enjoy the world of lucid dreaming!
How does this method work? Well, as stated in step 1, you are waking yourself up
in the middle of a REM cycle. At this part in the sleep cycle, your brain is at its
most active stage. By waking yourself up, you get cognitive control, and when you
return to sleep it should be right back into that REM stage, allowing you to
manipulate your own dreams cape.
There are a few caveats with this method. First, if you are trying to find a
technique that will show you how to lucid dream every night, then this method
isnt for you. Dont do this every night if you can avoid it. While waking yourself
up is great for inducing lucid dreaming, its not great for your sleep cycles.
Interrupting your bodys circadian rhythm too much is not a good idea. So try this
every now and again to get the feel of lucid dreaming.
Secondly, it may not work the first time. Sometimes you just have to keep trying.
But if youre waking yourself up in the middle of a REM cycle and visualizing the
dream you want to have as you fall back asleep, your chances of a lucid dream are

much more likely. If the first time isnt the charm, maybe the second time is. Just
keep at it, and keep dreaming.

FILD (Finger Induced Lucid Dreaming)

Finger Induced Lucid Dreaming technique or FILD for short, is another effective
but lesser known technique for entering the lucid world.
And is an easy way to induce lucid dreaming.

It has a few similarities with the Wake Induced Lucid

Dreaming (WILD) technique but is also unique in its
simplicity and ease of use for lucid dreaming beginners.
A major advantage and preference of FILD is that it is quite effective at quickly
bringing on lucid dream on demand. However, as a pre-requisite to achieve
lucidity with FILD, you must have achieved some degree of accuracy with carrying
out your regular reality checks.
So, lets look at the step-by-step technique to dream lucidity using this method:

1. Fall asleep.
Assume a comfortable position, relax and go to sleep. But before then make sure
you have put something in place that can wake you before you sleep for too long,
for example an alarm set to go off at a specific time would do. Optimum results
are achieved after about 3 to 4 hours of sleep.
2. Awaken after a few hours.
As mentioned above, it is very important that you do not sleep for an extended
period of hours before trying the FILD technique. This is because your body needs
to be in a state where you are still quite drowsy (slightly sleep deprived) and are
ready to fall back to sleep pretty quickly.
3. Begin Finger Movements.
As you awake, let the first thought that comes to your mind be the FILD technique
you want to use. Stay still in the same position and allow yourself to gently fall
asleep, as you begin to drift, select one of your hands and alternatively move your
index and middle fingers in an up and down motion repeatedly, imagining you are
playing the piano or tapping your fingers against a desk. Use the slightest pressure
possible on your finger muscles, just enough to make them contract very lightly.
Continue the finger movements for about 30 seconds and focus your attention on
it. Please do not make the mistake of physically counting to 30 as this would
definitely keep you awake for longer. Just continue the movements and if you are
sleepy enough you should drift off before you know it.
4. Perform a reality check.
If everything is working out properly, chances are you are already asleep and are
by now moving your fingers in a dream, you are just not aware of it yet!

You now need to perform a reality check to determine if you are still awake or
have entered a lucid sleep. It is best to use a reality check that would not require
you moving your body too much. A very common one is to cover your nose with
the fingers of one hand and with your mouth closed, try breathing through your
covered nose. If you are cant breathe properly then you are still awake but if you
can breathe, you know you have gently slipped into a lucid sleep. Another option
would be to try pushing your foot through the edge of your bed. If your foot
passes through then you can bet you have already entered the lucid world.
Get up and begin another adventure in the lucid dreaming world!

Easy Steps to Lucid Dream Using Rare Techniques

Proficient dreamers have developed many lucid dreaming techniques that work.
If you are just starting out with lucid dreaming, you can begin by exploring a few
easy techniques.
For effective result, you may have to test a few of them, and stick with two or
three that suit you best.
Do not force yourself to become an expert on lucidity within the first few weeks
of starting. Instead, try to train your subconscious mind to follow new rules and
techniques of lucid dreaming.
This may take a little time, but stay focused. Remain on track and be patient.
The following steps comprise the most effective methods to induce lucidity and
enable you to accomplish more dream control.
Lucid dream techniques you can start with today

 Incubation Technique: This is a simple lucid dreaming method that focuses

on the mind. It is basically mind-training exercise. In the night, you can
think of having a lucid dream. Repeat your resolve in your mind and the
next scene will be a dream that is daydream about what you might lucid
dream about.
Guided Meditation Technique: This is a type of meditation that you were
assisted with. Guided meditation contributes to self-awareness while
awake. It enables you to maintain concentration on whatever you are
listening to and guides your thoughts during the period. It provides a
fantastic way to easily familiarize yourself with your mind and prepares
your brain for lucidity.
Self-Hypnosis Techniques: This provides a more focused form of
meditation for quick lucid dreaming. When you perform self-hypnosis, your
insightfulness is guided through autosuggestions towards your ultimate
goal to lucid dream. During the process, your logical brain is silenced.
Cycle Adjustment Technique: This is another easy way you can lucid dream.
To do it, all you have to do is adjust your sleep cycles to raise your
conscious awareness during the early morning. If you make that
adjustment, it increases your chance of having a lucid dream.
The above techniques you can practice from today if you are a beginner.
However, bear in mind that to become proficient with these lucid dream
techniques, you will need to practice well and be able to build up a good dream
recall.

3 easy steps to improve dream recall

Research has found that our dreams contain repressed thoughts and wishes (of
our subconscious mind) and contain signs that can be interpreted to give us a
better understanding of ourselves.
Research also states that approximately five minutes after the end of a dream, we
forget 50 percent of its content and approximately ten minutes or so later, weve
forgotten almost 90 percent.
This is where dream recall comes in. Learning how to remember your dreams is
absolutely essential if you want to learn lucid dreaming.

Two of the most basic induction techniques for lucid dreaming include
maintaining a dream journal and finding a lucid anchor.
Journal Your Dreams
Maintaining a dream journal is easy and fun.
It helps you remember your dreams and is a
great tool for finding the hidden meaning of
your nighttime adventures.
We spend about one-third of our lives asleep
and research has proved that our brain cells
continue to function even though we are fast asleep.
Besides, keeping track of your dreams is one of the most important approaches to
lucid dreaming.
So how do we go about maintaining a dream journal?
First go out and get yourself a nice writing journal. It doesnt have to be
expensive, just nice. Something you look forward to writing in.
Because jotting down your dreams on scraps of paper or on whatever you can lay
your hands on will not help your cause at all. And dont, under any circumstances,
use this journal to jot down anything else. No recipes. No to-do lists. No phone
numbers.
Keep your dream journal (along with a good pen) on your nightstand or in the
bedside drawer for easy reach. This is so that you can write in it as you wake up.
Dont underestimate how fast you can forget your dream.

You don't need to write down your whole dream just a few keywords should be
sufficient. So if you dreamt
I am a mermaid with a shiny long tail made up of beautiful pink scales. I live in
an underground kingdom made of pearls and oyster shells. I hear my friend the
clown fish calling. Now Im sunning on a rock.
you could write down the keywords mermaid, pearls, shells,pink, clown fish
And if you were lucky enough to have experienced a lucid dream, note it down.
Confirm in writing the exact moment in the dream when you realized you were
dreaming.
Make a note of how you came to this realization. Be sure to document any
thoughts you may have had and your emotional state at the time. These are the
details that will help you (in later stages) to control your dreams.
Once youve written enough you can go over your entries and try to find patterns.
You can analyze and interpret your dreams and even use your dream journal to
try and induce lucid dreaming by jotting down your goal for your next lucid dream
as it will help crystallize your intent to both your conscious as well as
subconscious mind.
So go ahead and start a dream journal. And remember, it doesnt have to be neat
or beautifully written.
So long as you record what you remember as often and as you can.

Foods to help with dream recall

Try to include some foods in your diet that are known to improve dream recall.
chicken, tuna, cod and cheese are all good foods to help remember your dreams.

Finding a dream anchor

Having a lucid anchor acts as a subconscious trigger that your brain can relate to.
Start by telling yourself that you will awaken from your dream with a full memory.
This is key.
Then use the environment around you to anchor your lucid dreams. From the
cute poster on the wall to the ticking of the alarm clock by your bed to the LED
light on your phone charger, anything and everything can be used as an anchor.
If its the picture on the wall, ensure that its the last thing you see before you go
to bed at night and the first thing you lay eyes on each morning.
Glance at it even if and when you wake up from your sleep during the night. And
each time you look at it, tell yourself that you will awaken from your dreams with
a full memory.
This dual act of looking at the poster and citing your intention each time you look
at it acts as a trigger for your subconscious. It reminds your brain to focus on your
dreams while planting a subconscious plan of action or POA.

If you dont wish to go for a physical anchor, why not opt for a mental anchor
instead. It can be as basic as seeing 1+2 =3 in your head. Simple stuff that does
not require much thought (since you are trying to fall asleep).
Or how about an evocative anchor? Our sense of smell is one of the most
powerful triggers there is. Being the only sensory channel wired directly into the
part of the brain responsible for "tagging" anchors with emotional states, smell
can be a very powerful anchor.
Anchoring comes from the fascinating branch of psychology called Neuro
Linguistic Programming (NLP) referring to the process of associating an internal
response with an external (or internal) stimuli.
So if you ever have trouble remembering your dreams, just use a lucid anchor.

Reality Checks

A reality check is a break from passive acceptance and a critical look at your
current circumstances.
The goal is to determine whether you are awake or
dreaming. That might seem too simple, but daily

reality checks while awake can help you incorporate them into your dreams.
Everyone performs them differently, but the hallmark of a good reality check is to
ask a simple question with an impossible, pre-determined response.
Maybe that sounds a little confusing. The question could be- can my hand go
through this wall? Then you push your fingers/hand against the wall.
In real life, clearly your hand will not pass through a solid object. It is much more
likely to occur in a dream, however. Some people ask themselves if they can read
a clock face or digital watch, or read a sentence the same way twice, or even jump
in the air to see if you fall back down as is normal with gravity or if you
float/hover.
The basic tenet is that the action/response is something that could not occur in
waking life, but could occur in a dream.
Once you are aware you are dreaming as you dream, you assert a certain power
over the dream and can begin to manipulate it as you please.
The best way to institute reality checks is to
a) choose 2. If for some reason in the dream you cannot push your hand through
a wall, you should move on to the second test as a fail safe.
B) Ask yourself several times throughout the day if you are awake or dreaming,
perform your checks, and really mean it. Truly think about what youre doing.
Dont just shove your hand against a wall, shrug, and mosey on. You must be
present in the question and aware of the depth of your own question. Because it
can go wrong. Here is my story of when I was a beginner and how it can go wrong:

Reality checks can go wrong

When I first started to learn lucid dreaming. During the day I practiced reality
checks.
I would ask myself Am I dreaming? And then I would see if I could push my
hand through the wall. Of course I couldn't because I was awake.

So night time came and I went to bed as

usual. And I remember my dream as clear
as anything.
I was standing at my bedroom window
looking out at the scenery. It was
beautiful there was a lake and a forest
stretched out ahead. Now in reality from
my bedroom window all I can see is my local store and a few houses.

Anyway as I was looking at this forest I asked myself 'Am I dreaming' and I pushed
my hands against the glass to see if they would go through the window.
But my hands wouldn't go through. So I came to the conclusion that I must be
awake. And that was the end of the dream!
So what went wrong?
Well in my waking state I would never really think about weather or not I was
dreaming - because of course I was awake. It was obvious!

So I expected that I couldn't walk through the wall and this carried over into my
dream. I expected that my hand wouldn't go through the window. So it didn't
because of course I was awake!
So always make sure you actually question if you are awake or asleep. Because
your dreams can feel as real as your waking state anyway.
Another good practice is to to to read something in your dream. This is a lot more
effective than trying to push your hand through a wall or any of the other reality
checks because it is very hard to read in a dream. And if you try to read a
sentence twice you will find that the words have changed.
If you have trouble remembering to perform these reality checks, you could leave
yourself post-it notes around your house/apartment/dorm or on your desk at
work. Eventually you wont even need these small reminders at all!

Dream signs
Many lucid dreamers use dream signs to become lucid.
A dream sign could be anything from emotions, locations, characters, objects but
the key is that it appears often in your dreams
Recognizing dream signs in your sleep takes a bit of practice. But once you get
used to it it can be a useful tool to induce lucid dreams on a regular basis.
Here's what you need to do.

The best way to find your own personal dream sign is to go back and look through
your dream journal and notice what shows up often.
Below I have included some common dream
signs:
Places
Do you regularly dream about places you have
never been? Or virtual places that just don't
exist in the real world? It could even be familiar
places that you regularly visit.
Objects
Maybe you dream about strange objects or things that are out of place. A car that
has no doors or a cup that melts away when you touch it.

Dream characters
Most people dream of other people. Characters that are familiar to you or ones
that you have never seen in real life.
These are just a few examples.
Once you have found your dream sign you need to do a reality check that relates
to your dream sign. For instance if your nightly dreams mostly consist of strange
objects look for things in your daily life that seem out of place or unusual in any

way. If you are watching a movie and in the movie objects are flying round the
room or something else strange happens in the movie then do a reality check.
The more you notice things in your waking state the more you will notice them in
your dreams. It is recommended that you do reality checks at least 10 times a
day.

Creating your own dream sign

Although dream signs can be a powerful way to induce lucidity a lot of problems
can still arise with dream signs.
The problem with dream signs is that you never know when they are going to
show up in your dream.

Some people have problems finding a dream sign at all. And some find that they
have multiple dream signs so they are not specific enough to be an effective
technique.
Fortunately there is a more reliable way we can find a dream sign and that is to
create our own dream sign one that is easy and guarantees that it will show up in
your dreams from day one and every day after.
And that is to either invest in a REM dreamer, a vibrating watch, or if you don't
want to spend any money use your mobile phone with it set to vibrate.
We will go over each one in more detail.

Vibrating phone or watch

Associating the feeling of vibration with being aware in your dream can be a great
way to trigger a lucid dream.
vibrations are common when preforming a WILD. Most people when they are
close to WILD experience their whole body beginning to vibrate.
It doesn't hurt and is completely normal. And is a good sigh that you are close to
lucidity.
If you have ever experienced the vibration feeling when preforming a WILD then
you may have already associated vibrations with lucidity and investing in a
vibrating watch may be enough to trigger lucidity.

Try setting the watch to vibrate after 5- 6 hours of sleep. You should feel the
watches vibration in your sleep.
This vibration will either carry over into your dreaming world
and this may get you to question weather you are dreaming.
Or it could wake you up for a brief moment in which case just
lie on your back and start to focus until you are lucid.
Another alternative if you don't want to invest in a watch is
to attach a mobile phone to yourself set to vibrate.
REM dreamer
Another great way is the REM dreamer.
From times immemorial, the desire to deliberately recognize and control our
dreams has been a part our collective longing. From thousands of years people
have been trying to figure out the mysteries of lucid dreaming with little success,
until now.
Thanks to the progress of neuroscience and technology, we can learn how to lucid
dream every night via devices such as the REM Dreamer. This means we can all
enjoy a truly profound experience, the wonder of controlling the flow of our own
dreams.
Behold the REM Dreamer, your new best friend! Inside what looks like a normal
sleep mask are hidden infrared sensors, lights and speakers.
As soon as you enter the fifth sleep cycle, namely the REM, the sensor will
activate the light and speakers which will tell you that you are dreaming. The

mask will literally become your dream sign, allowing you to awaken just enough
to experience lucid sleep.
No longer will you struggle with lucid dreaming, waiting for a random dream sign
that may or may happen the lights are there and all you need to do is train
yourself to recognize them when they appear.
Like all lucid dreaming masks, its success relies on your ability to sleep normally
wearing a mask. While most people have no problem doing this, there are some
people out there who find it difficult to sleep anyhow, let alone with a mask on
their face, especially if they sleep on their bellies. Still, if you give it time, youll get
used to the mask soon enough as its not only feather-light but also very
comfortable and it allows your skin to breathe.
Besides learning how to sleep with a mask you must also and recognize the visual
and audio cues as a sign you are dreaming. The latter is not difficult, but it does
require some practice and patience. So if you are thinking of buying a REM
dreamer. Try watching this video first at least 10 times a day to see if you can stick
to your reality check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kIVe1RrIAc
This flashing red light that you will see in the video is exactly what you will notice
in your sleep while using the rem dreamer.
Provided you accommodate easily to your new sleep buddy, you can expect to
dream lucidity within a few weeks.
Many people report successful stories after a couple of weeks of using. Most
stories are about waking up in the night, pressing the reality check button on the
REM Dreamer and finding it doesnt work. This allows them to recognize that they
are actually dreaming and are beginning a lucid dream. However, success is not

guaranteed unless you decide to commit to the process in order to get the results
you desire
All things considered, The REM Dreamer is a revolutionary device that has given
many people the opportunity to experience lucid dreaming and the chance to use
this natural state of consciousness to create and explore the wondrous lucid
dreaming world.

Dream leaf
Dream leaf is the most effective lucid dreaming supplement there is.
It's interesting to learn how this dream leaf works but basically as soon as our
minds go into dreamland there is a neurotransmitter that works in the brain
which causes us to be unconscious while dreaming. Dream leaf blocks this special

neurotransmitter, and this can make your mind awake and body asleep which is
what everyone who wants to lucid dream aims for.
Not only does it help with lucid dreaming it also helps with dream recall giving
you highly vivid dreams. And can also help with balanced sleep

Dream leaf supplements comes as 60 capsules, which is 30 red pills and 30 blue
pills which makes it a months supply. You take
one blue pill when you go to bed and take one red pill 4 hours later. The blue pill
helps to get you in a deep sleep and also helps with creativity. The red pill is
where the fun begins and promotes lucid dreaming and also increases dream
recall.

The ingredients include : Mugwort, 5-HTP, Choline Bitartrate, Huperzine-A, and
DHEA
My story
I first tried dream leaf supplement when I was a beginner. I had practiced for a
few months with lucid dreams but had had no success. I was so desperate to have
a lucid dream after reading about how much fun people were having. and felt I
need a little help in the way of supplements.
After reading reviews about various different products I decided to purchase
dream leaf. The supplements came a week later and I couldn't wait to get started.

That night at my usual bedtime I took the blue pill. I didn't notice it having any
effect on my sleeping pattern and I fell asleep an hour later like usual.
The next thing I remember is my alarm going off 4 hours later. So I took the red
pill. I was amazed at how well it worked. I admit I didn't have a lucid dream. But
as a beginner I went from having no dream recall to having the most vivid dreams
I have ever experienced before. I was happy with that because if you can have
good dream recall your half way there to experiencing a lucid dream.
After that I decided to practice reality checks with a red flashing light so that I
could use the Rem dreamer together with the dream leaf
I decided to time it just right. So that when I woke up after 4 hours I would take
the red pill and half an hour later when I was back asleep my REM dreamer would
flash the red light. This was enough to trigger powerful lucid dreams every night.
Pros
Promotes a hyper REM stage so that your dreams are out of this world
Effortless nightly lucid dreaming
Increases dream recall
Increases dream control
Cons
Have to wake up 4 hours after sleep which might be difficult for some
people
Like all things still takes practice not instantly guaranteed a lucid dream

 Some people have reported difficulty in sleeping when taking the pills.
Although I have not found this in myself.

To get the best out of dream leaf. And to guarantee lucid dreams in just a couple
of weeks use dream leaf with REM dreamer or vibrating phone.

Practice when to go to bed

Short for wake induced lucid dream wild is the
most vivid and intense experience of them all
and what most people want to achieve.
But it is also the hardest to learn. Some people
call it an out of body experience. I just like to
call it the dream body.

The best time to perform a wild is after 5-6 hours of sleep but the best time to
practice is when you first go to bed at night.
The reason you want to do this is because you need to practice focusing and
lingering into a sleepy state without falling asleep.
What's more, as you get more experienced with focusing you will have the ability
to perform an effective WILD following 5 hours of sleep
More Tips For WILD process
I have already covered the steps to WILD in the previous chapter. But here are a
few powerful tips to speed up the process of performing a WILD and will give you
multiple chances throughout the night.
Go to bed at your normal time and lie on your back with your eyes shut
for deep relaxation go through each of your body parts including legs, arms,
neck, back, face and squeeze and relax each muscle
next imagine a glowing ball of light inside your body running up and down
each body part relaxing you further. And then the glowing ball moving
inside. up and down your whole body. This should relax you a lot. Your
body might feel heavy and numb. And your awareness of your body will go.
Now try to focus. It is different for everyone. So focus on what you find
easier. It could be your breathing, the clock ticking, the wind outside, focus
on the blackness of your eyelids.

 As you drift off to sleep try to keep this focus. This is the time you might
hear voices or see images in your mind. But don't panic they are completely
normal. Try to practice for couple of days then move onto next step.

Note: this can still trigger a WILD. Just because people say that it is unlikely you
will lucid dream right when you first go to bed at night. Don't be surprised if you
still have one! It's possible.
I have had at least 5 lucid dream mostly WILDS within the hour of my normal
bedtime routine. But if you don't manage to have a WILD don't worry here's what
to do next...

Next you need something that is going to wake you up briefly after your 5
hours of sleep. You could use a alarm, or use vibrating watch or phone as
mentioned previously or try and wake up naturally by drinking a pint of
water before you go to bed.
The best of these 3 is to get something like a mobile phone and set alarm
at different times to have multiple chances of lucid dreaming. Because if
you fail once it doesn't matter - just wait till the next alarm goes off. Ideally
you want a alarm or vibration that goes off once and you don't have to
move to turn it off.
Another alternative is a shortened WBTB technique and this greatly
increases your chances set your alarm for 5 hours after you sleep. Then eat

some dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains the most caffeine in and will
help to achieve the mind awake body asleep that you need to be able to
successfully wild.
Set alarm to go off at 5 hours after sleep. Then every 30 min from there.
Once you quickly wake up, lie on your back and start to focus. Say to
yourself 'I am dreaming'

If your usual sleeping position is on your side then you may find it difficult to sleep
on your back. You will however, get used to this sleeping position quickly.
But here is a trick that can make you feel sleepy. While on your back rest your
hands were ever is most comfortable for you and lightly tap your fingers.
You should start to drift off to sleep. But remember to focus as much as you can.
Signs to look out for when close to WILD
These are all the things you should look out for when you are becoming close to
lucidity. They are nothing to be afraid of and are completely normal.
seeing images
hearing sounds
vibrations
heartbeat rapid beating- though not really your heartbeat so don't panic!
body involuntary twitching

 sleep paralysis
How to enter the dream world
One thing I should mention if you are new
to lucid dreaming. If you feel vibrations or
rapid heartbeat this is not the time to exit
into the dream world.
Just stay still and wait for the feelings to
pass. You are looking for when it becomes
silent again. When it does either try sit up
or roll out of your body into your dream body. And have fun!

Binaural Beats for Lucid Dreaming

In this chapter, we are going to look at some brain stimulation methods
specifically Binaural Beats, their use and benefits for lucid dreaming

What are Binaural Beats?

The word binaural has been defined as
something to do with both ears. Binaural
beats are another form of brain
entrainment and were discovered in 1839
by the German scientist Heinrich Wilhelm

Dove.

Basically binaural beats or tones do not exist on a physical level. They are created
in the mind when two tones of different frequencies are played separately in each
ear.
The brain now merges or combines both sounds to produce a third unique sound
called a binaural beat or tone. These sounds have been widely acclaimed by those
who have experienced them as simply magical and deeply relaxing.

Benefits of Binaural beats for lucid dreaming

Binaural beats prepare your mind for entering the lucid world through the
following:
Binaural beats are good for quickly entering a state of meditation. As
explained earlier in this article meditation is crucial for lucid dreaming. The
kind of meditation experienced with binaural beats is deeper and trance
like. The human brain activity would typically begin to slow to a state of
almost sleep. This phase known as Theta brain state is very difficult to reach
and hold onto normally, but with binaural beats you can consciously enter
and explore it.
Good for deep mental and physical relaxation.
In addition to visual experiences during the hypnagogic state, binaural
beats also enhance audio hypnagogia through hearing of sounds.

 You are consciously aware of the dream scenes as they form before you
and as your mind expands beyond your normal consciousness, it is common
to have great mental inspiration and insights
Out of body experiences and a floating sensation.

The use of head phones is a must while using the binaural beats method.
and has been said to make the sound effect more pronounced. Many users have
reported that they find binaural beats more soothing and rhythmic

What are Isochronic Tones?

You may have heard the term brain entrainment technology. This refers to a
complex and modern scientifically proven neurological process that utilizes visual
or audio stimuli to affect the brain.
The objective is to make the human brainwave frequency duplicate that of the
selected stimuli.
Isochronic tones are a form of brain entrainment and an effective audio based
method for stimulating the brain.
An Isochronic tone is basically a single tone being turned on and off rapidly and
repeatedly. The pulses of sound created in this on-off pattern cause a sharp and
strong impression on the brain.
Isochronic tones were designed to help people resolve certain problems and
handle issues such as anxiety and stress reduction.

Benefits of Isochronic tones for lucid dreaming

There are three parts to lucid dreaming using Isochronic tones namely relaxation,
the hypnagogic state, and dream entrance.
A closer look at some of the uses of Isochronic tones will help us quickly see why
its so effective for lucid dreaming:
Induce relaxation: Research has shown that the use of these tones helps
eliminate or greatly reduce anxiety. They promote a feeling of deep
relaxation and allow you to disconnect from daily stress and worries making
it much easier to use any of the lucid dreaming methods.

Focus and clarity of mind: This form of brainwave stimulation is an

incredible tool for focusing your attention and helping you concentrate on
the moment. Normally, getting the brain to perform at its best especially
after a stressful day or activities is very challenging. The brain tends to work
less and begin to display patterns of frustration and you begin to find
yourself struggling to focus. Brainwave stimulation has shown success with
being able to improve the mental abilities and focusing of the mind.

Enhance meditation: Meditation is indispensible to the act of lucid

dreaming. Those that have not yet mastered the art of daily and frequent
deep meditation would definitely find the use of Isochronic tones very
helpful. Once you are able to get rid of your stress, relax and focus, you
would enter a state of meditation. Isochronic tones aid dissociative
meditation by shutting out the mental chatter and distractions that could
be clouding your thinking thereby taking meditation to greater depth and
taking you to a state of peacefulness and quiet.
Enter the hypnagogic state: The hypnagogic state is that phase between
wakefulness and sleep. It is known for heightened sensations, sights and
sounds and is at the borderline of our consciousness. Inducing the
hypnagogic state using brain stimulation is particularly effective for having

Wake Induced Lucid Dreams (WILD) for example, as it keeps you mentally
awake while relaxing the body.
Difference between Isochronic Tones and Binaural beats
The most apparent difference is that while the Isochronic tones uses a
single tone sound repeatedly, the binaural beat uses two separate sounds
of different frequencies at the same time.
The use of head phones is a must while using the binaural beats method.
This is not required with Isochronic tones.
However, the use of headphones has been said to make the sound effect
more pronounced, this is a plus for binaural beats. On the other hand, fans
of Isochronic tones choose it because they complain of trouble sleeping
with headphones on. This could seriously disturb any chance of having a
lucid dream.
Many users have reported that they find binaural beats more soothing and
rhythmic than Isochronic tones. By nature, Isochronic tones are relatively
sharp and pulsing and could become irritating to the listener. Its basically a
matter of preference and personal taste, a sound that is soothing for one
person may be disturbing to another.
It is obvious that each style of brain entrainment whether Isochronic tones or
binaural beats have great benefits for lucid dreaming.
They have been proven over and over again to induce an altered state of
awareness simply by listening to the sounds produced.
One major advantage is that using these sounds, all you have to do is relax and lie
quietly and let the tones work on you. You dont require very strict mental focus.
With time, you would be able to choose the method that works best for you.

Let go of your fears

When I was new to lucid dreaming - during the day I was excited, enthusiastic
and couldn't wait to get started.
But at night when it was dark and silent I was scared. I was scared of sleep
paralysis. Of the unknown, running into evil entities that might try to attack me.
And because of this fear it took me a year to have frequent lucid dreams. This fear
is what stopped me.

Ask yourself honestly are you afraid to lucid dream? Even just a tiny bit? Because
this is what is going to hold you back.
At the beginning I did manage to talk myself out of all the fears but there was still
a tiny part of me that was scared.
I tried all the lucid dreaming techniques bought a lot of the books and I was very
dedicated and did everything the books told me to.
But it didn't matter because I was scared and it was holding me back. I realized
this when in 2013 it was a bad year! One traumatic event after another took place
in my life.
But you know on my really low days something AMAZING happened. I lucid
dreamed! I had many phenomenal out of this world WILDS. And this is because at
my lowest points I wasn't scared.
Once I realized that deep down I was still a little afraid that was the turning point
for me. And that was the solution into being able to have more lucid dreams.
Tips to overcome your fears
Sometimes people are afraid that they will run into evil entities that will try and
attack them. If you do run into one. Just remember that you can wake yourself up
anytime.
Also try and use it to turn into a positive experience. Remember anything you
experience in a lucid dream just means your tapping into your subconscious.

They are a projection of your own mind. Face the evil entity and ask it what it
wants. You may be surprised at the answer that the evil being/your subconscious
gives you.
Perhaps it is a message to look after yourself or be happy with who you are.

Expectation
Try and train your mind from wanting to lucid dream to expecting it to happen.
You may not think much of this technique but it is a simple yet powerful way to
have a lucid dream as early as tonight.
Believe that lucid dreaming is easy and it will be. Think positive.
If you have been practicing for a while, you may notice you are getting better at
certain things like dream recall, or your focusing skills are improving.

Make a note of how easy it has become for you. And hold onto that thought
because you are already starting to see some signs that you are making progress
and any day now you will be having lucid dreams.

Taking naps
Your odds increase whenever you squeeze in some snooze after getting out of
bed earlier each day.

Give attention to your willingness to see that you are currently dreaming while
you fall asleep within the rest.

There will be a fair shake at lucid dreaming while napping not less than an hour or
perhaps two as compared to your typical sleep during the night time.
