Inevitably, when I'm dream consulting, the subject of Lucid Dreaming comes up. Many people wonder if they can easily have a lucid dream. Others are confused by the subject and are almost afraid to ask about lucid dreaming. So for those who really want to know, here are a few tips that will help you have a lucid dream in the least amount of time.

One of the great things about Lucid Dreaming is that you can get inside your dream and have a great time! Everything is possible, and the best part is that you can't get hurt! Basically when you have a lucid dream, you have a conscious awareness that you are dreaming and can enter into the dream whenever you want. Since you are 'conscious' you should be able to remember all the fun you had.

As you develop the ability to have a lucid dream, you can now do anything you want inside your dream. You can fly above everything and everyone; have uninhibited sexual encounters with your movie star of choice; be the life of any party, etc. And No, it's not true that only certain people can induce lucid dreaming. With a little practice, anyone can learn how to have a lucid dream and start becoming part of the extreme dream world.

You see, as we sleep, our unconscious mind takes over and we start to think and ponder events which that we would like to happen, but probably will never happen in real life. As sleep sets in, you begin to dream. Most people don't become aware that they're dreaming unless they specifically try to. Usually at first you're not aware that you are dreaming. But as you practice remembering your dreams, they will become more familiar. Then it becomes easier to have a lucid dream and start participating in it. Remembering your dreams is one step to being able to have a lucid dream. This isn't easy to do at first because the part of the subconscious mind that dreams has no memory. That's why you need to try to remember your dreams when you are just waking up - or you won't remember them at all.

A good lucid dreaming technique try is to attempt to have a lucid dream when you're more fully rested. If you work Monday through Friday, try to induce lucid dreaming early Sunday morning. In fact, the last sleep cycle before you awake in the morning is the longest dream cycle, and the best time to have a lucid dream. When you're not so tired, you have more control over what you will do when you become lucid. And that's where the fun comes in!
