My lucid dream reference

[countSpanky]

http://www.spiralnature.com/magick/luciddreaming.html First of all, in your everyday activities, start randomly asking yourself the question, \"Am I dreaming?\" Ask the question, and then focus on your bodily sensations, to see how \"real\" they are. Then try to do something you could only do in a lucid dream, like change the color of the floor. Obviously, if you are awake, this is not going to work. However, if you do this a few times a day consistently over a few weeks, it becomes a habit that wires itself into your subconscious (it takes roughly 30 days to completely form or destroy habits). After a while, you will be dreaming some night when the habit is so deeply ingrained that you will ask \"Am I dreaming?\" while you are dreaming. You might notice that your body feels slightly different when lucid dreaming, and you *will* be able to change the color of the floor, as well as change and guide other aspects of the dream. [/b] Will this work all right or am I wasting my time? Cheers, cS

I am working on this. I haven't had a lucid dream yet. I am trying to get there by the habit of asking the question. I have been at it for 3 weeks now. Nothing is happening yet. I am trying to avoid MILD and WILD until I get fed up. Then I will probably try those tricks. Or maybe I will forget about the whole thing in a couple of weeks and quit trying to be lucid and in control. moe.

Yes, that will work. Like the guy said, might take a while, but some night, you will ask yourself. Good luck, I'm looking forward to reading your I DID IT post.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys... Will this method also work to have them at will? Meaning, not only by chance, but every night, unless you don't want to have them. Actually, is it possible to choose if you are going to have a lucid dream that night or not? Thanks

Try to do those reality checks so much that it becomes a habit. Its then sort of intergrated into your personality so much that you will sometimes do them while dreaming and attain lucidity. (thats how I figure it works)
