Explore Your Mind With This Lucid Dream Walk Through

By Patrick Cook


1 The one thing that is a little bit difficult to fully grasp if you are new to this sort of thing is that you are doing something that is distinctly different from controlling your dreams. When you find a good lucid dream walk through, you will be doing something that is different because rather than specifically trying to give yourself incredibly superpowers, enact your deepest personal fantasies, and go to your favorite otherworldly places, you are merely just trying to gain awareness that what is happening is all inside your head.

If you are someone who wears a watch often, you can look at that from time to time in order to make sure this is reality and not a dream. In so doing, you will be more likely to lucid dream. This because if you do the same check-up while you are sleeping, the numbers on the clock or watch will appear distorted or incorrect.

When you build up a certain habit of asking questions like, "Am I dreaming right now?" throughout your daily life, you will quickly find that these things start happening in your dreams themselves as well. Once you are into that habit, you will be asking it even while you are dreaming. Obviously, once your dreaming mind starts to interrogate this question just a little bit, you will immediately start to notice all the flaws in logic and physics, making you realize what is really going on at last.

Many people keep a dream journal for a variety of reasons. One of the top ones is to make yourself more aware of what is happening while you are in your sleeping hours. Most people end up discovering that there are certain items, people, places, or situations, that keep coming up in different ways, and that can help you both figure out why you are dreaming about them and more easily identify them when you are dreaming, and that can definitely help remind yourself of the kind of state that you're in.

When you go into dreams like these directly from a waking state, that is called wake-initiated lucid dreaming. This is rather rare and more difficult to do, but you can get your results faster. It might take the help of a trained professional or at least someone with some experience in this.

People experience this type of thing very commonly when they are already dreaming. All it takes is the right kind of stimulus to suddenly make you aware of the reality of the situation. Once you finally do, it just gets easier and easier.

When you are going to bed, it can be quite helpful to make some kind of affirmative statement. This means saying something like, "I'm going to be aware that I'm dreaming, " before you lay down. Saying it aloud certainly helps a lot.

Some people find looking at their hands to be an effective reality check. Hands are so complex, detailed, and recognizable to their owners that you will definitely be able to tell if they are real hands or not. The more you stare at your hands, the better you'll get at doing this.
