So, I realize there are probably a lot of Newbies (LD newbies, not board Newbies) who are probably looking to LD, and that is fantastic! Nothing makes me happier than the satisfaction of a new lucid dreamer.

So, the excercise that has worked wonders for me. It's easy as hell, and is as follows:

Wherever you are, the bathroom, the shower, the car on your way to work, at work, at dinner, in the middle of a conversation - ask yourself if you're dreaming, and then answer yourself.

Example: I'm walking down the street, and it starts to rain. To myself, I ask the question, "Am I dreaming?" I know that I'm not, intuitively, and I answer the question.

The funny thing is, you'll always answer yourself correctly, even in a dream, at least I always do.


For more control over your dream, ask the question and then a follow up. The follow up being, "If I were having a LD at the moment, I'd do x, y and z." Just list the things you'd do, and then imagine yourself doing them.

Everything you do while you're awake becomes a part of your dreaming self, and so you'll pick up questions like this. Eventually, you'll be asking the question on a fairly regular basis within your dreams, and you'll be lucid dreaming in no time!

Hope that helps.

Peace,
