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 are pretty odd anyway, why on earth would you want to start to control them?

Learning to lucid dream is like anything in life, it just takes practice.

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 your note pad and a pencil close by, maybe on your bedside table. If you haven't got a bedside light, you may want a small flashlight as well. This book is your own private 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. To begin with, there is unlikely to be much detail. It only takes a handful of days before you start to remember a lot more detail about your dreams.

When you look back over your dream journal, you're almost certain to spot themes that keep cropping up, over and over again, in the dreams you've written about. Possibly you have dreams about flying through the air or even space. Possibly your dreams involve water. It doesn't matter what your dream subject is, just go with the flow. 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 to 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.
