Hi,

I decided to join this site to contribute my experience with Lucid Dreaming.

Most dreams I have I am lucid, knowing that I am dreaming. I can still remember the first dream which helped me become lucid. I was riding a bike and realized in the dream that I dont have a bike so this cant be real. It was then I said to myself if this isnt real wake up. And I woke up. It is from that 1st dream that now whenever I dream I can realize something in it that cant be true so I know I am dreaming. When your in a dream knowing your dreaming it feels great and you can sometimes control every part of the dream, but not always. My lucid dreams normally vary from what I enjoy, like driving supercars, having super powers (I probably watch too many super hero movies) Some dreams can be so vivid and colorful. I remember once being in a forest seeing the sun and shadows of the trees or driving a convertible feeling the wind in my face.

Here are couple tips that may help others:-

If you wake up from a nice dream and you want to continue it, dont change your sleeping position. I can continue a dream like this when I get back to sleep.
The opposite also works if your having a nightmare, change position and the nightmare doesnt come back (works for me anyway).

I can dream everynight and lucid alot if I want to. I discovered this when I had a bad back and my mother gave me magnets to lay on(she was into magnet therapy). It's only after several days solid of dreaming I realised its the magnets making me dream.

I dont use magnets to dream anymore as I have a pendent around my neck which is basically a coiled copper wire. I bought the pendant for other reasons but discovered whenever I forgot to take it off in bed I dream. Dreaming every night can be fun but you do lose a good night sleep, as I will dream all night and wake up couple times in the middle of the night in between dreams. So I only wear it the times I want to dream all night.

Hope this info can help someone or id be interested if anyone else has experienced using magnets to make you dream.
