5 Steps to Your First Lucid Dream
|
It is a way to trick your body to think that your mind is sleeping. When this happens you enter the dream world but you still preserve your consciousness. Thus you can do whatever you want to do.
Its really good method for experiencing your first lucid dream because it works instantly. Just go to bed, follow the steps and in 20-30 minutes you will find yourself in a lucid dream.
1 ) Lay down and Relax
Release the muscle tension. One body part at a time. Start with the head and finish with the toes.
Feel the tension fading away, start breathing slowly and deep. Relax even more.
2 ) Do NOT MOVE your body.
Every time you move the time counter for getting lucid is reset and you start again from the begging.
You will probably get URGES to move, thats a sign that you are on the right track.
Ignore the urges long enough and the body will start thinking that the mind is asleep, thus it will enter the state of sleep paralysis. (thats what you are looking for)
3 ) Maintain Consciousness.
Know that you will enter a dream and just reaffirm that you are dreaming. If you fail to maintain consciousness you will probably end up having a normal dream.
One… I am dreaming
Two… I am dreaming
4 ) Observe the Weird Sensations ( hypogogic imagery)
After a while you will start seeing flashes of images, your body will start to feel really light or numb, you might hear voices and sounds, moving colors on your eyelids or other weird things.
This is totally natural, it happens every time when you are between sleep and wakefulness, you just can’t remember it. The key here is to stay CALM, just passively observe what is happening. Do this until the flashes of images become really strong and vivid.
5 ) Enter the dream
All you have to do now is explore the vivid images with your imagination. Use all your senses. You can enter some of those images and continue forming your story from there. Its best to imagine yourself MOVING ( running, flying, walking, swimming) and then explore all the sensations, feel the wind on your skin, the pressure from the gravity on your legs, the movement, hear the sounds from the street.
Sooner or later those sensations will become highly vivid and real -> You have entered : WILD – Wake Induced Lucid Dream.
Now you can do many things…
But where to start ?
Well, my next post will be just about that, The most Interesting Ideas For Lucid Dreaming
Actually you were on the right track you just lost consciousness at the end, probably because this is still new to you combined with the fact that you are doing it in the end of the day where you are very tired and it is easier to slip into unconsciousness. The best timing for this technique is after sleeping for 6 hours and being awake for 30 minutes.
Well this sounds like fun:)
I relax but instead of feeling lighter i feel heavier so i stay in one place relaxed and stuff and I start counting in my mind 1 I am dreaming and so on. I keep counting in my mind with my eyes closed I feel frozen and nothing… am I doing something wrong or I am too tired because it was 3 AM when I did this and I had a normal dream
Aham, the best time to try this is when you are tired, but not too tired. If there is a scale of Tiredness, the best (in my opinion) would be around 7-8, since you can fall asleep more quickly but you still have conscious control.

Does this work better if you are real tired? Or normal bedtime? And I have tried before but like I get that really heavy feeling see some stuff blah blah and then it just dissapears.
Not really, but it has a higher chance of working.
If i move my eyes a little bit does it reset the lucid “timer”?
When you go in the “black” state, where you don’t dream, focus your mind on a some place and keep your focus there for some time. After a while a dream will form.

Same here Tomik. Do you think we are doing somthing wrong?

I follow all these steps and I get to a state where I feel frozen but I never enter the dream… its like my body is asleep, my minds awake, but I don’t dream. Any advise?
Every time I relax and start to feel tingling I swallow saliva like subconsicencely does this rest the lucid thing?
You probably get too exited, or you are doing something wrong. I might have experienced about 4 lucid dreams, but i get WAY too exited and wake up
90% of people are going to use this for 3-D, interactive porn.
Hey I can’t seem to get a dream,everytime I feel all lift and floating then it just stops there,no progress afterwards.
