Stop smoking pot. I usually tell people that they will first have to change their diet, give up alcohol, meat and fats (friend foods, hydrogenated oils, trabsfats) and change over to fruits and veggies, whole wheats, oats. Along with that you should give up sugars, nicotine, caffeine, white flour and drink a lot of water. The next step is meditation, where you can look your mind thinking without getting attached and identified with the thought forms / ideas. Then you carry meditation over to where you can meditate while sleeping. The change in diet may produce a change in consciousness and if you're lucky you'll catch yourself being lucid. Alcohol and drugs dull the mind / brain so that's the first to go. Then the diets will make you "lighter," freeing your from animal urges to explore the spiritual side.
I think that you need to every hour look at a clock look away look back if it has changed or looks weird you are dreaming if it has not changed then your awake do this every hour. This behavor will carry on to your dreams then you can become lucid it worked for me.
get in the habit of asking yourself "am i dreaming?" in waking life. if it becomes a habit, you will occasion think that to yourself when you are dreaming, and realize that you are. do it everytime you pass through a doorway or something common like that
shantiipyar, has this ever worked for you? during your dream, what happened - when you asked yourself "am i dreaming?" did you respond automatically as "yes"?
its not really like i am asking myself the question "am i dreaming?" it is more like i just consider the possibility, then i might realize that i have been seeing everything in the third person, or i am talking to a dead person, or the person i was talking to just became someone else. once i realize that something out of the ordinary is going on, i realize im dreaming, and with practice, you can control what is going on. but it is also fun sometimes to just sit back, and watch the dream unfold, knowing that its all happenin inside your own brain.
you need to keep a dream journal, thats the main thing u need to do. theres loads of good sites on the net with advice that works. theres a guy called, errm i think its steven le barge or summin like that, he started a place called the dream institute, hes pretty clued up on the whole subject. been studyin it for yrs n yrs. i dont lucid dream nowhere as much as i want to, intent and practise is the way forward, unfortunatly im pretty lazy. my friend lucid dreams all the time naturally. lucky her. summin i find intresting is how light switches dont work in dreams. scrap that bit about light switches, my friend who lucid dreams all the time tried the light switches last night and says they worked fine. i did read somewhere that they dont though, prehaps they ment alot of the time they dont work.
thats how i had my first lucid dream, by askin myself if i was dreaming, thats the key to doing it, if u can realise your dreaming then it becomes lucid, but theres diffrent levels of lucidity, sometimes you wont be fully lucid and still engaging in normal dream thoughts and belifes even though u know its a dream. when your totally lucid your 100% aware its all a dream. its the coolest thing, flying is the best, well that and shaggin. thats what keeping a dream journal is all about, u start to recognise dream keys in what youve written down, then once you know what they are and what they feel like you can use that info to wake up in a dream by recognising it.
I've been trying to Lucid dream for the last two nights but I can't do it. Whats even worse is I can't remember any dreams when I wake up. I have been smoking a little weed before I go to bed but I thought that just slowed your REM cycles for a few hours and then made it go extra hard after the delay. That is what I read somewhere online. I've been doing reality tests a lot. Is there anything else I can do to help get lucid dreams? (Please don't say stop smoking )
keep a dream journal, thats the way to start remembering dreams, youll be amazed about how much u can write in that, that you would have forgot most of within a few minutes after waking up. u end up with about 2 pages of A4 of details. thats the main thing to having them. serious mate
