Don Juan lucid dreaming

If you have ever read the book “the teachings of Don Juan” you might find this way of attaining lucidity fun and much easier to manage.

1. The first step is to relax. After you have achieved a relaxed state, pick an animal you wish to become. Anything just make sure you are familiar with it.(the better the easier it is to maintain the dream)
2. Now as you are on the verge of sleep visualize your body. Now slowly transform into that animal. One body part at a time( focus on every body part changing )
3. Now hopefully when you start dreaming you will be your animal.


I usually am a wolf but you can be anything. Please tell me how this worked for you and what animal you became and how that felt, also how your choice affected you.

Can I imagine myself as a human? Will that work?

Yes.

Did anyone read the book, "Art of Dreaming".

I read the first two chapters and it says first
1. to intend to have a lucid dream(or dream) and if you have lucid dreamed even for a little bit, intend to experience the feeling of lucid dreaming.

2. When you do lucid dream, glance back and forth from your hands to objects in the dream. The idea is if you stare at things for too long in the dream you might waste the rest of the dream just staring at it. Try to look at as much objects for as long as you can without losing control.

3. Try and change the dream by controlling the what the next dream will be about

4. There's more but it becomes "abstract" really quickly.

My own experience with being in the lucid dream included staring at things for the entire dream, and that was fun enough, but I was able to control the dream, eventually.

The idea of imagining an object and going into the dream being that object was told to me from a Budhist believer who said to visualize a lotus until you are dreaming about a lotus, yeah it had worked but I didn't know a possibility was becoming a lotus by the time the dream started. I like flowers to some extent, but I didn't want to be a flower, and at the time I couldn't control the dream, I was just a flower in a grassy plane simply existing lucid in a dream somewhere. So yeah, an animal is reasonable, for those of you who can WILD but can't control the dream content, I would suggest being something that can fly, just my personal take, I really like flying.
