The lucid dream is simply dreaming being conscious. This allows you to take an active part in your dream, make decisions, create dream scenarios and even determine the direction of your dream.
You control your actions in the dream space, although the control of other «characters» and objects of your dream can vary.
The lucid sleep is a valuable tool to connect with our subconscious and a springboard to reach more advanced levels. Oritic work.
Main conclusions
Wearing a dream diary is crucial for the success of lucid dreams. Record your dreams as soon as you wake up to better remember your dreams and identify the signs of recurring dreams.
Perform consciousness checks throughout the day to increase self -awareness in dreams. These checks, such as telling your fingers or questioning reality, becomes habits and move to the world of dreams.
Establishing a clear intention before sleeping greatly increases the possibilities of having a lucid sleep. Visualize the dream scenario you want to experience, reinforcing your desire to be aware during dreams.
An effective technique to induce lucid dreams is «wake up and return to bed» (WBTB). Slow at night, remain awake for a brief period of time and then go back to sleep while concentrating in lucid dream.

Start dreaming
Necessary tools
It is useful to have a dream diary, a comfortable bed in a dark room and the clear mind of intoxicants.
How to get there
The first objective of the lucid dreamer is to become lucid in a dream. That is, be aware that he is dreaming. There are several «tricks» to get it.
1. Bring a dream diary
If you write your dreams every morning early, you will familiarize yourself more with your personal dream landscape, you can notice patterns that will activate your conscience in future dreams.
2. Carry out conscientious controls
Create the habit of reviewing your consciousness several times a day depending on the triggers that can occur in a dream or in the world of vigil. For example, every time you see a tree a tree, or every time you feel. It must be something simple and repetitive that it would not be so easy when you sleep.
For example, you can count on the fingers 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1. Or (as I did) take off the ring of one hand and put it on the other.
If you try to do it in dreams and see that your fingers have become clumsy, you may have a track. Or check your watch; Watches like to go crazy in dreams, especially analogical ones.
3. Set your intention
Before going to sleep, the last after drinking water, going to the bathroom, turning off the light and getting into bed, I gave out loud: «I will be aware of my dreams.»
Write this in your diary at the top of the page where you will write about your experience in the morning.
4. Try to return to a dream
When you wake up in the middle of a dream, try to go back to sleep quickly and give yourself back to it with full awareness.
After some practice, one day, while you dream, you will realize that you are actually dreaming. You may wake up immediately. Do not worry, make point 4 on the previous list.
Once you are aware that you are dreaming and installed in your dream, you can start actively participating in it. You may have forgotten what you dream when you realize that you are dreaming, this is an opportunity to create a dream tailored! Your dream space can be a kind of laboratory to represent scenarios, or fantasies, or whatever you want.
If you scare yourself in sleep, remember that it is only a dream. It is not the astral plane is your subconscious.
You have the option to wake up, express a weapon to defeat the threat, fly away or create a protective energy bubble around you. Or, hey, it’s your dream, see how the threat enters spontaneous combustion.
However, the dream space and astral plane can be very similar, so it may be useful to use the dream space to practice before astral projection. I recommend practicing defensive techniques that can also be used in the astral plane, such as the shield.
Remember to write down all these experiences in your dream diary!
Additional comments
There are more complicated techniques that involve alarms and sleep schedules, supplements and visualizations but I do not think they are as useful or authentic as these. It may take you longer to «get there» in this way, but it will also mean that you can do it without going through the hoop and we, as users of magic, we hope to use our dreams to work, not only because yes. lucid sleep is great.
If you feel frustrated and want to try these other techniques, look for Wild and/or Mildid Dreaming techniques. There are many videos on YouTube on them.
