Usually people who begin this kind of activity will start with recalling dreams they have had. It�s just a matter of remembering dreams you�ve already dreamt.
In order to start to conscious dream, you need to recall all the details of dreams you dream every night. There are several, but the technique most wildly used is the dream diary. Simply place by the side of your bed a notebook and pen or pencil. Each and every morning, before you even get up, write down everything you can recall in your dream diary. The longer you wait the less information you will remember about your dream.
You will soon find you are remembering your dreams more clearly and in more detail. You can use your journal to help you remember more. Once your mind is used to remembering your dreams you are ready for the next step and that is to be aware you are dreaming. You may wake up in a dream so to speak but still know it is not real and only a dream.
Hypnosis is another widely used method for lucid dreaming. It is a good way to get into the state of mind you need to begin lucid dreaming. A hypnosis session works quickly to help people to recall the tiniest details in their dreams. This can be done in only a few sessions. Once you have this level of dream recall, you are ready to proceed with conscious dreaming.
You may wake up suddenly when you are having a conscious dream in the beginning. This is not unusual. Go over the events in your dream as you drift back to sleep. If you focus on them hard enough, you will go back into the same dream and perhaps control the events and the outcome of them.
You can also use this method. Wake up several hours earlier than you would normally and then try slipping back sleep. This mode of sleep and dreaming makes it much easier to stay aware of what you are dreaming. You may not even be sure if you are dreaming or just lying awake in your bed thinking. By doing this on a regularly basis, lucid dreaming is much more likely.
Remember to pay close attention to your sleeping patterns. That will tell you when the best time is to have dreams of this type. Just remember not to short yourself on sleep too badly, since you’re less likely to have lucid dreams when you’re very tired.
