General Instructions for Lucid Dream Induction
This technique, as well as most other techniques, should be practiced on a regular basis to obtain the best results. Rarely does anyone succeed on their first attempt and for most people it takes many tries before they reach their first success.
This general technique is a good place to start for those just starting to learn to Lucid Dream. As you become more familiar with the terms and the varous stages your body goes through, then you can try some of the more advanced technique to help you reach your goal faster>
1. Once you are ready to start and everything is in place, turn on some relaxing music on low volume. You want it loud enough that you can hear it, but not loud enough that the highs and lows of the music will prevent you from reaching dream state. Lie down and find a comfortable position. Close your eyes and breath deeply. Allow your thumb and forefinger to touch sort of in the typical meditation pose, but allow your arms to rest gently at your sides.
2. If you have a Lucid Dreaming Induction tape or CD, turn it on and listen through it at least once.
3. When you are ready, visualize a beautiful, pure point of sparkling white light shinning from the center of your forehead. Allow the visualization to become so strong that you can see the white light shinning around you, and visualize it bathing your brain in spakling, radiant glory.
4. Allow your visualization to change and see yourself walking along a beach, just after the sun has dropped below the horizon. Look up and you see the starts are coming out. The sky hangs above you speckled with twinkling stars and a moon so full and heavy it appears you could reach out and touch it.
Continue to walk and notice the sparkle or white light as it shines out from your forehead. Bring your hands up so that they too are bathed in the white light coming from your forehead, then move your hands out of the light from your forehead and into the light from the sky and stars. Turn your hands back and forth so you can get a good look at them in both types of light.
Continue to walk along the beach, and as you round a corner, you see a cave entrance. You decide to go into the cave and find a set of stairs. Go down the stairs. Counting them with each step you take. 1... 2... moving down deeper, 3... 4... deep still ... 5... 6... and you reach the bottom at 7. The light from your forehead shows you a set of 3 doors.
You decide to go through one of the doors. It does not matter which on you choose because it will be the perfect door for you, no matter what number it is. Look again at your hand when it reaches outside of the light from your forhead to open the door. Make note of any differences you see when the light changes.
Open the door of your choice. Inside is a very large room and there are people there. Some may be familiar, some may be strangers, still others may seem to be from a different planet. Spend some time exploring this room and the people within. But remember to occasionally look at your hands.
When you are ready, return to the door you entered this room from, go through it and back up the stairs to the beach. At the beach, look again at your hands for a moment and then allow your awareness to return to your psychical body. Start to feel the room around you and when you are ready, open your eyes.
As I said earlier, this is a good general technique to help you get started, but it is important to note that not every technique works for everyone. You will always know when you have found a technique that works great from you because it will allow you to have as many as 2 to 5 lucid dreams a night, every night.
At the same time it is also important to note that unless you are remembering your dreams, it does not matter if you have 100 a night, they are not doing you a lot of good, so make sure you work on the various techniques that help you remember you dreams also.
Most Lucid Dreaming techniques fall under two categories. Those that start from you being awake and those that start while you are already dreaming. I personally suggest to new students to start working from the awake state because then you will be able to have lucid dreams any time you can find a place to sleep. Those that require you to start from the dream state means you are depending on chance to remind you to wake up in the dream.
Let's look now at some of the more common technique to induce lucid dreaming.
