Lucid dreaming can be a very exciting and rewarding activity if you have the proper instruction in lucid dreaming. If done properly you can have lucid dreams at will and be able to have full control of them. What this actually means is that you can pick and choose exactly what you want to dream about. Think about that for just a few minutes… The possibilities are limitless. You can fly, win the lotto, have an erotic encounter, visit exotic destinations and do just about anything you can think of in your dreams. Of Course you will need the proper instruction in lucid dreaming before you can even begin.

I have found 5 highly effective tips for the instruction in lucid dreaming for the beginner as well as for the more experienced dreamers:

1. You need to do the mental preparation.

You have to strengthen your beliefs and change some of them if necessary. Ask yourself the following 4 critical questions and answer them truthfully:

• Do you believe that you can do this?
• Do you think your dreams important?
• Are you sure you want to have lucid dreams?
• What will you do when you have lucid dreams?

You need to replace doubt with confidence; you need to believe instead of being skeptical. You will need to cultivate and reinforce your desire and view your dreams as being important. You need to have a plan in place for when you have your first lucid dream.

2. Increase your dream recall.

You will need to do the following to increase your dream recall:

• Wake slowly and motionlessly
• Let your mind drift and go through a dream checklist, just think about all the things that have happened in your dreams before, see if it triggers your memory.
• Try different sleeping positions to see if they mat trigger a memory
• Above all keep trying

I know it can be difficult to remember your dreams but it is critically important that you do. If you can wake up and remember your dreams it will be so much easier to get back into your dreams and begin controlling them.

3. Keep an accurate dream journal

This is the single most important thing you can start doing to help you remember your dreams. This will help you remember your dreams by reinforcing, to your subconscious, the importance of your dreams. This will also help you to become more familiar with your dreams which in turn will help you to gain more control when lucid dreaming.

4. Add awareness to your consciousness when awake

By increasing and training our daily awareness will benefit us by the carryover effects that it has on our dreaming awareness. If you can become more aware of your environment while awake it will enable you to be more aware while dreaming.

5. Use binaural beats to speed up your learning process

Binaural beats are two separate frequency waves that are listened to using a set of stereo headphones. The mind reacts by creating a third, different tone, which will profoundly affect the brains ability to control the dream state. They will help in causing a shift in consciousness which in turn will help you to lucid dream.

Hopefully this instruction in lucid dreaming will help you to start having lucid dreams and start you on the right path to controlling your dreams. Practice them diligently and often, use the binaural beats to jumpstart your journey. They are readily available for download from various web sites on the Internet. Some sites will even allow you to try them free before you purchase them. This instruction in lucid dreaming only touches on the subject and I will be submitting much more on the subject soon.
