Lucid dreams are a good way for you to subconsciously control the outcome of your dream or some real life circumstance where you can test different solutions. During lucid dreaming, you are aware of your actions and can hear yourself speaking and seeing certain details that seem more real life than normal dreams. They are also easy to remember and control because you decide the scene, the actors and the script to play out the circumstance they way you want in lucid dreams.

Lucid dreams can range from a romance, intrigue and even a fantasy. You can have any kind of dream when you are lucid dreaming. And your imagination is the limit to what you experience!

The difference between normal dreaming and lucid dreaming is that you control lucid dreams, where normal dreams may wander randomly from subject to subject. You may even have to pinch yourself because they can seem so real versus normal dreams that may be strange, abstract and sometimes scary.

In a dream, certain things will not seem right, like reading words, or colors may not be pronounced. There are simple tests many people do to see if they are really are having a lucid dream or are in a state like sleep walking, for example.

The possibilities are endless when you are lucid dreaming and many people will dream of lost loves or other people that they wish they could be with, but it is impossible in real life because they are dead in real life, but alive in the lucid dream.

When you are dreaming and you know that you are dreaming all you need to do is change it. For instance you can dream about your favorite rock star falling in love with you and getting crazy about you. You can even choreograph your dream to the extent that your rock star talks to you, touches you and makes you feel loved. The only tool you need is your limitless imagination!

If you think it’s not possible to experience a lucid dream, and then think again. Yes, it’s true that the body needs relaxation and rest for the next day but a part of the brain can actually remain in a conscious state though the body is physically relaxed.

It can take awhile to learn the techniques of lucid dreaming if you have never done it, but it can be learned over a period of time with practice.

Trying to remember your dreams and what they were about, who was in them and the outcome is a good way to start. Dream interpreters say to keep a pad and pen by handy so that you waste no time jotting down your images as soon as you remember them or awaken. It is possible the dream will repeat its self and you can finish writing it down. If you document your lucid dreams as you go, you may start to see a pattern develop over a period of time.

Writers will often use this technique to line up their next novel, using some of the scenes and characters from the lucid dream as the basis for the storyline. Lucid dreaming is a good outlet to channel your ambitions to come up with an action plan to make them a reality.

The dream will occur several times usually, so you will have the opportunity to recall more at a later time. If you awake a couple of hours early and lay in bed dozing, the lucid dream may start up again where you left off. You may predetermine that you will try to change how it goes without even knowing it.

When you awake ahead of your normal time is the prime time for lucid dreams, since you are not in a deep sleep, but in a semi-sleep state. While it might seem like you are awake and cognizant, you might be having a lucid dream.

Techniques, such as self-hypnosis can sometimes help you to recall vividly your lucid dreams, but many people find recalling lucid dreams easy to do.

Recent developments in brain studies can help induce a lucid dream state. Some of these types of techniques use things like sound technology or binaural beats to stimulate the part of the brain required for lucid dreaming.
