Lucid dreaming is where you are in a dream and actually notice that you’re dreaming. Everyone dreams every night. Many times. But it's rare for us to recall what was in our dreams. When you start to take control of your dreams, you’re starting to dream lucidly.

So how easy is it to learn to dream lucidly? And, given that most dreams a pretty odd anyway, why on earth would you want to start to control them?

It will take a bit of practice to learn how to dream lucidly, but it's likely easier than many of the other things you've already learned so don't worry.

Up until now, you’ve probably known when you’ve dreamed, but only if it was a particularly vivid dream. We all dream every night, several times a night. The thing is, we forget almost all the dreams we have. It's actually quite rare for us to remember our dreams unless we put our mind to it.

Keep a notebook and pen handy, close to where you sleep. You'll probably also need a small lamp or torch as well. This will be your dream journal.

Each time you wake up, the first thing you do should be to write down as many details as you can remember from your most recent dream. At first, this likely won't be much detail. But within a few days, you'll find yourself remembering more about more dreams.

Once you've been using your dream journal for a few days, it's likely that you'll start to notice some common patterns in the dreams you've written down. Possibly you have dreams about flying through the air or even space. Possibly your dreams involve water lots of the time. Whatever you're dreaming about is fine. It’s one of your minds ways of resolving the various issues you come up against in the day. You can interpret your dreams with one of the many different dream interpretation books you can find online or in Amazon.

After that, the next part of the procedure is tp actually begin to control what you dream about. This is where the fun begins! Lucid dreaming is a big subject but you're already a lot closer to it than most people, just by starting your journal of dreams. You can find out more about lucid dreaming here.
