Induce Lucid Dreams without Keeping a Dream Journal-3 Alternatives
Writing my dreams after waking up was once a very difficult task for me and I know many of the lucid dreamers hate doing this because that early morning time is often a busy one that’s why I will provide you a few alternatives here that will enable you to have lucid dreams without a need to keep dream journal.
Before looking at the alternative methods allow me to explain it to you why we actually keep record of our dreams..
Purpose of the Dream Journal
Usually we only remember dreams that occurred a few minutes before waking up. Sometimes you may remember a little more but, till the time you take bath you probably would have forgotten them all unless you had an interesting dream.
There are people who say that they don’t get dreams at all but that’s not true, it is not that they are lying as they actually don’t know that they had dreams… why?.. it is because they forget their dreams even before they are fully awake.
This is why beginners in lucid dreaming are always advised to keep a dream journal beside them before sleeping since even if they had a lucid dream they won’t be able to remember it so that will mean that they never had one. Continue reading
Simple Tips for Dealing with Multiple False Awakenings
For a very long time, I have been troubled by multiple false awakenings but, eventually I figured out a few ways to deal with them and I am going share it with you here.
I am well familiar with that dreadful feeling when you can’t find a way to escape from the chain of annoying dreams that tells you that you have woke up but then again you find that you are still dreaming.
Mostly when I experienced false awakenings it was when I slept during day time but, people experience it in the usual hours of night sleep as well.
About 4-5 years ago, when I was too interested in lucid dreaming, false awakenings and sleep paralysis became usual for me.
In dreams, I used to get up in the same room where I slept so it was often too difficult to detect that if I was still dreaming or not but, what troubled me the most was helplessness of not being able to wake up despite of knowing that it is a dream.
More than 5 false awakenings(I have had 14+) one after another could be very frustrating that you might start to hate your sleep hours but fortunately there are ways using which you can regain your peaceful sleeps. Continue reading

7 Very Important Lucid Dreaming Tips for Beginners
If you are new to lucid dreaming and you are struggling to induce a lucid dream then the 7 lucid dreaming tips for beginners that I am going to share here will equip you with some essential information that will make it easier for you to have a conscious dream very soon.
The ability to induce lucid dreams varies from person to person because the subconscious mind of different people behaves differently and our dreams are handled by our subconscious mind.
It is true that once we get aware that we are dreaming we can control our dreams and do what we want but, for that also we need to develop a strong rapport with our subconscious mind as it can collapse the dream, wake us up, or trick us into a new dream once we become conscious inside a dream.
This rapport can be developed with practice but some people’s subconscious mind has less resistance to letting them become conscious while dreaming and that is why they are able to lucid dream easily.
It took me about 4 months of continuous efforts to have my first lucid dream (way too longer than the average cases).
One day I shared my experiences and knowledge about lucid dreaming with my friend. You know what? This friend of mine had a lucid dream the very next night after I shared all this stuff with him and that was the first time ever he came to know about this concept!
Obviously, I felt disgusted about how this could happen. However, I learned a very good lesson about lucid dreaming from that particular incident which is what I consider the most important thing to know for a beginner.
I will reveal that in the last but, first allow me to share the other basic tips:- Continue reading
What Is the Best Lucid Dreaming Technique?
Few years back when I became aware that we can control our dreams I spent months to find the best lucid dreaming technique and from experienced lucid dreamers I came to know that WILD is the most powerful technique however, it failed to give me the desired results.
After experimenting with various other methods I ended up finding the one that worked for me and realized that there is no perfect formula which works for everyone. So, an individual has to find his own best trick to become conscious in his dreams.
Don’t get discouraged by what I have said in the above paragraphs, since you are here to know the right formula for inducing the lucid dreams, you will leave this post with few LD techniques, essential tips to have conscious dreams and the method which works best for me-Who knows maybe it could prove out to be yours best as well.
But, before that I would like to warn you against people who are trying to sell products that contain the secret for inducing lucid dreams, please understand that this is a process which requires patience and efforts. So, keep yourself away from such scams.
Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD)
This is a simple and most used LD inducing process; it is where you do various activities which increase your chance to wake up in your dreams.
Dream recall, visualization, reality checks and affirmations are the tools of MILD and it is the best practice for the beginners.
Wake Induced Lucid Dreams (WILD)
Few people consider this to be more effective than MILD and as I mentioned earlier, this trick has worked well for a large number of lucid dreamers.
WILD focuses on staying awake while allowing the body to sleep, when you are able to maintain your conscious awareness as you go from wakefulness to dream state it becomes easy for you to induce guided dreams and due to this there is a chance that you might have an out of body experience or sleep paralyses .
The Method Which Enabled Me to Lucid Dream Easily
My most favorite method is the one which not only works perfectly for me but, it also enables me to have multiple conscious dreams and it is the cycle adjustment technique which I learned from Rebecca Turner’s lucid dream fast track kit.
This technique is so simple that even kids could do, all you have to do here is to adjust your early morning wake up time so that you can use your “body clock”(natural wake up alarm of your mind) to induce lucid dreams for you.
In order to this-Wake up at least an hour before your usual waking time for about a week and afterwards go back to your normal time(even if you wake up and can’t sleep after that, just lie there with your eyes closed). Now, switch waking up time alternatively from normal time to the new one and you will eventually get lucid dreams in that extra hour sleep.
Few Tips to Have Lucid Dreams
-Keeping a dream journal is a must.
-Perform regular reality checks.
-Read lucid dreaming books or watch lucid dreaming movies before sleeping.
-Meditate.
-Practice Yog Nidra.
