      Mindfulness and lucid dreaming

      This video has some important insights for the practice of mindfulness and lucid dreaming.

      Can we view lucid dreaming as simply an extension of a commitment to stay on purpose without distraction everytime and everywhere ?

      Can we view mindfulness as the ability to not be hijacked by habitual patterns of thought and action ?

      Can we view lucidity as the ability to regain one's locus of control in the dream state ?

      Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way

      After several attermpts at lucid dreaming using different tecniques, I decided to foucus my attention only on the mindfulness meditation.
      I started setting for 20 minutes a day each day for a week.
      Furthermore I tryed to use this phrase during the day: "What are you doing here? what was you doing a minute ago?"
      Gradually I ended up thinking about the present moment as a connection to my awareness, without having to ask the questions any more...
      Last night I fell asleep and after a bit of time I realized I was in a strange situation, because I was in a hospital working as a nurse, that is not my occupation at this time...
      So then I realized I was dreaming and started to fly around.
      Everything happend in a way so natural that I was stunned by that.

      Congratulations! What kind of meditation did you do? Mindfulness of breathing or something else? In the evening? Although I benefit a lot from meditation in my everyday life, there is only a weak connection to lucid dreaming in my case.
