how to have lucid dream

this is the first time i have ever heard anything of lucid dreaming/ dreaming in more dpeth. it sounds pretty amazing and i want to experience it. can somebody tell me a basic technqiue to lucid dream?

i want to know what the dreams are like? they seem real? can u wake urself up? can u do ANYTHING in them?

thx

first of all, welcome to the board.

they seem real?

yes, as real as waking life, as you progress.

can u wake urself up?

at will.

can u do ANYTHING in them?


anything you can think of.

again, this is as you progress. you can't just go to sleep tonight expecting to have perfect LDs. i have been lucid dreaming for about a year now, and i have long LDs that are very vivid about once a week, but i have little control and i'm working on that. it's different for every person, for some it takes a long time to get and for others it's easy. it's just like learning to swim or play the drums. you just have to really want to do it, and be willing to spend time on it.

here are a couple of my favorite Lucid Dream websites, they will tell you different techniques and about journals.

I remember when I was 7 my last lucide dream. There was someone that was chasing me and I woke myself up. I used to always do that... I miss being young :(

and this is relevent to the thread how?

No Idea. It was just a statement.
