There are a variety of techniques out there, but some of the best ways to induce lucid dreams include the following:
- Spending at least 10 minutes in putting down and recording your dreams in the morning. Even if you wake up in the middle of the night, try to remember and write down what happened.
- Performing as many as 10 or more reality checks during the day, and these should be spaced out during the day. Perhaps even make a marking on your hand and look at it throughout the day, and in your dream you will notice it missing and will become lucid.
- Spending up to 20 minutes in the afternoon to incubate a lucid dream. The techniques to use here include meditation, self hypnosis, and visualization of what you wish to experience in your dream.
- Before you go to bed at night, repeat this to yourself: "I will remember to recognize that I'm dreaming". Fall asleep repeating this in your head, and this awareness will subconsciously carry into your dreams. Know that in your dream, you will remember that you are dreaming. Affirmation is important.
Make sure you are not sleep deprived or have eaten a big meal before bed. This is more than just something fun to try out as an experiment. This can dramatically change your life and instantly shift your perception on reality. Both of my out-of-body experiences were induced out of lucid dreams, so I can personally testify to the mystical and practical benefits of being able to lucid dream.
There is an awesome program designed to make you a master at lucid dreaming and astral projection containing 6 informative ebooks on these topics and includes techniques, benefits, tips, and guidelines, as well as audio files and tons of bonus material. There is also information and audio files of binaural sound frequencies and how we can use these to explore our minds. This program is accessible and effective. I am using this program and am looking forward to taking advantage of my sleep hours to explore other realms and further my growth. Anyone can have these experiences, and they can change your life.
