How to lucid dream: step-by-step guide

• The amazing potential of unlocking creative genius is amplified when a dreamer is able to become fully present and aware within the dream itself.
• Lucid dreaming is an incredible opportunity to interface with your unconscious potential in an organic virtual reality arena created by your consciousness.

• Most lucid dreamers find they will naturally wake up for about five to ten minutes just before their final REM cycle, and when they go back to sleep, they usually go lucid.

You can experiment with this by setting your alarm to wake yourself up earlier than normal, then go back to sleep again.

• Make sure you get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night, avoid electronics in bed and avoid caffeine/sleeping pills/alcohol before bed.

Let your bedroom be your dreaming sanctuary. 

• Embrace self-awareness by observing, studying and analysing your day-to-day environments.

Set goals, intentions, mantras before sleep. Perhaps it is to find your hands in your dreams, or a doorway. Perhaps it can simply be: ‘I will go lucid in my dreams.’

• Start a dream journal and record your dreams daily. This is the most important foundation of conscious dreaming.

The more you record your dreams, the more you improve your dream memory recall and trigger more dreams.

• Make oneirogen herbs into tea and consume them before bedtime .

Not only does this prepare your mind for dream time, but the herbs themselves help activate more vivid dreams and increase the potential of lucid dreaming. 

• Consciousness is a muscle that can be trained and evolved.

The more conscious, aware and present you are in your waking life, then the more chance you have of becoming conscious, aware and present within a dream.
