Intention Technique:
The Intention Technique involves training your brain to expect to have a Lucid Dream. Have you seen the movie, "The Secret". It focuses on one of the many metaphysical laws. Namely what your brain focuses on is what you get in your life. So it is not surprising that many people have report success with this method.
There are no hard and fast rules here. Anything that helps you focus on expecting a Lucid Dream to happen is fine. The list below gives you some idea what others have had good results with.
1) Affirm your intention. One of the easiest ways to do this is to write an affirmation and repeat it multiple times through out the day. An affirmation you write for yourself will always be stronger than one written bu someone else.
You simply want the statement to affirm that you will have a lucid dream and it will be easy for you to know you are lucid dreaming.
2) You can use visualization techniques to prepare yourself for becoming lucid in your next dream. In your minds eye, see yourself sleeping, then see yourself inside a dream you had recently. You know it was a dream, but you are now inside it and can control what happens.
Spend as much time as you like exploring this dream world. It is not unusual for people to switch out of this visualization and into a lucid dream without realizing the change had taken place.
3) Choose an action you know you could only do within a dream such as flying, winning a gold medal, finding $1 million dollars on the ground. Then using visualization again, see yourself performing this action.
Again, it is not unusual for people to slip into a lucid dream while performing this action.
The more time you spend preparing yourself for a lucid dream, the easier it will be to slip into a lucid dream when you are asleep.
