Introduction

Theres alot of misinformation about how to lucid dream, even the largest lucid dreaming yt channel admitted to publishing wrong information regarding the topic. This thread will go over the best and most efficient way to achieve lucid dreams as fast as possible.​

How to Lucid Dream

To lucid dream you need to start by improving your ability to remember dreams (this is called dream recalling) until you can remember them on a daily basis. This is so you can become familiar with how your dreams act. After that, use a lucid dream induction technique, these will be discussed later.

Dream Recall

Dream recall is your ability to remember dreams. This is highly important to lucid dreaming, for several reasons:​

• In order to recognize that you’re dreaming, you need to become familiar with how your dreams act​
• You can still forget lucid dreams, just as you forget non-lucid dreams.​
• It’s easier to wake up in the middle of the night with good dream recall.​

Let me get this out of the way; Some people have such bad dream recall, that they assume they don’t dream. If you’re one of these people, you are lying to yourself.​

Active Recall​

This should be obvious, but dream recall is not an inherently passive process. You don’t remember dreams by simply waking up in the morning. You have to actually try to remember dreams, the moment you wake up. This is accomplished with a process called dream delving:​

Dream Delving​

Dream delving is a method of actively recalling dreams centered around immediate actions taken upon waking. When you wake up, you should stay in the position you woke up in. Don't let yourself get distracted by thoughts, feelings, or things around you.Try thinking about what you were last doing, experiencing, feeling, thinking, etc. If you get just random ideas, ask yourself why you were thinking about these things.If you get a scene or part of a dream, try working your way backwards to find out what happened before and do this until you've gotten as much information as possible.From my experience, delving is the most important part of dream recall. We forget our dreams extremely easily, sometimes in mere seconds. This is an exercise you really have to try to do, do not cheap out on it.

Delving in the day​

Sometimes, events in the day can remind you of dreams you had the night before. Be ready to spot these moments. While delving is primarily done when you wake up, you can also do some aspects of delving in the daytime, whenever a new part of a dream pops into your head. Relive the memory of the dream in reverse again, until you reach the beginning

Tagging

Tagging is what you should do right after delving. Get a notebook, a notes app on your phone, anything you can write in. Then, write short phrases for each dream scene from the dreams you just had. There’s no need to go into detail, just make sure you write down enough to get the general idea of the dream.If you’re ever delving in the daytime, you should always have something on hand you can quickly pull out and write notes down on, so you can tag alongside that.

Awakening in the night​

To give yourself more chances to delve, it’s an obvious choice to wake up in the middle of the night

MOST IMPORTANT
​

Full Dream Journaling​

On top of everything else, you can also create fully detailed entries of dreams. This will help you keep the dreams in memory for the long-term, and improve how quality the memories of your dreams are.You can also use journaling to catalog dream signs and look for recurring ones (see chapter 2 of #"Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (EtWoLD)"), which proves useful advice for getting to know your dreams.My recommendations for full dream journaling:​

• Have a daily quota for amount of paragraphs journaled. If you’re a beginner and want to avoid burnout, 3-5 paragraphs is a good starting point.​

You can adjust this quota depending on how much you want to improve your recall, but a higher amount might become a hassle.​

• Rewrite dreams if you don’t remember any.​

I hear this from a lot of people: ”I keep a dream journal, but I don’t remember dreams to write in it every day.” The solution to this is quite simple — If you did not remember any dreams last night,you can rewrite dreams that you had on previous nights*, without looking at their original entries.​

• It’s not just a dream journal, it’s a sleep journal. Lot’s of people often forget about this. Dreaming happens in your sleep, so sleep is highly important. Mark down which times you fall asleep, and which times you wake up (including micro-awakenings through the night). If you have trouble sleeping, mark that down as well.​

TECHNIQUES
Remember that without good dream recall you will be unable to achieve consistent lucid dreams, with that being said the following are the most efficient and beginner friendly techniques
​

Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD)​

MILD is a lucid dream induction technique created by Dr. Stephen LaBerge. It demonstrated that, by looking at lucid dreaming as the game of remembering that you’re dreaming, you can learn to lucid dream through pure volition. MILD can be found in EtWoLD. The technique involves using a mnemonic device to help you remember to get lucid in the future.(Mnemonic device -a thing/practice that helps you remember something you intended to do in the past. Prospective memory -your ability to remember to do things you intended to do in the past.)

Original MILD​

LaBerge notes that there are 2 parts a mnemonic device should include — A strong motivation to remember your goal, and a mental association between your goal (getting lucid) and the time it appears (when you’re dreaming) .The mnemonic device used in the book is a practice called seeing yourself become lucid:

1. Perform a ⁠Wake Back to Bed, and recall the dream you just woke up from.
2. While firmly intending to become aware in your dream, imagine that you’re back in the dream you just woke up from, except this time you recognize a dream sign and become lucid.
3. Continue the imagination, and go on, pretending to control this dream and perform whatever goals you want.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until your intent feels set, then fall asleep. If you get distracted while falling asleep, repeat the process again.*

*In modern MILD, step 4 is changed a bit. Instead of repeating it until your intent feels set, you repeat it for 10-20 minutes and then fall asleep. There are also memory exercises in the book to hasten the process of learning MILD, which are often overlooked, despite being really effective

Combined Technique​

Combined Technique was created by Paul Tholey. It aims to combine the aspects of awareness and intention, two popular ways of inducing #"Dream-Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD)"s. I have no clue why nobody even tries this technique — it’s one of the best daytime practices out there.The version presented here is a modified version of the method that fits into this server’s information structure, and also makes a few quality of life improvements.

When to do Combined Technique​

It is recommended to perform the following steps 5-10 times per day for maximum effectiveness.It is best to repeat these steps whenever you experience a dream sign — something that has a high chance of happening in a dream, or a low chance of happening in waking life.However, if moments like that are too uncommon to happen 5-10 times every day, you can simply make a habit out of performing the steps.

The Steps for the Combined Technique​

1. Ask yourself the question: “Am I dreaming?”

Genuinely consider the possibility that you are dreaming. Scan your environment for dream signs. Try to come to a conclusion, all with your critical thinking and situational awareness.

1. If your conclusion is that you aren’t dreaming, ask yourself what it would feel like if you were dreaming. Then, feel that way.

Feel as if everything in your environment is a dream. A catchphrase to go with this: ”Use your dream hand to pick up the dream cup to drink the dream water”. You must truly pretend that you’re dreaming.

1. Now that you perceive your waking life as if it were a dream, ask yourself what dream experience you would like to have. Then, imagine yourself controlling the dream to be able to have that experience.

1. Firmly intend to actually have that dream experience. After this, you can stop pretending that you’re dreaming, until the next time you perform the steps to this method.

How to perform a Wake Back to Bed

1. Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) is a practice that aids with lucid dreaming.It has been referred to before as ‘the cheat-code for lucid dreaming’, which is a pretty accurate description — WBTB cuts down on the learning time by years. That’s a lot of time saved.
   

   Why​

   There are several benefits to WBTB:
   • It’s another chance to recall more dreams
   • You’re closer to the next dream
   • You can perform an induction technique more than once in the night
   • Waking up before the next dream increases awareness

   How​

   Having a WBTB is suspiciously simple. All you have to do is wake up in the middle of the night.You can use an alarm clock to awaken yourself, or you can use methods to awaken naturally:
   

   Alarms​

   • Set an alarm for any time of the night (6 hours after you fall asleep is recommended for standard sleep schedules).
   • Make sure this alarm can wake you up, but also make sure it can’t jolt you awake too much, or you might have problems falling back asleep.
   • If you’re afraid of your roommates or family members waking up to the alarm, put the alarm under your pillow to muffle it.
   • Set several alarms as failsafes incase you sleep through one of them.

   Natural awakenings (No Alarms)​

   Awakening naturally might seem tricky at first, but if you can master it, it’s much better in the long-term than alarms.
   • Have decent #"Dream Recall". If you’re aware enough of your dreams to know when you’ve just woken up from one, natural awakenings are much easier.
   • Firmly intend: “At [TIME], I will wake up to remember a dream.” Make sure you implant in your head that you will awaken in your bed at the chosen time. You can even rehearse this intention by visualizing yourself waking up from a dream.

2. What to do when you wake up​

   • If you awaken in the night and you find yourself too drowsy to practice, immediately get up to ensure that you won’t fall back asleep. Push through the urge to lay down and fall back asleep, so you can make sure you get your practice in.
   • Recall your dreams. (See ⁠Dream Recall for how to do this)
   • Perform an induction technique, like ⁠MILD or Combined Technique
   • Once you’re done with your practice, go ahead and fall back asleep. If you wish to perform more than one WBTB, now is your chance to firmly intend to wake up again.
   Conclusion
   Lucid dreaming is surprisingly easy but also confusing, if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask​

Yo Thanks for this and I wanted to ask you on something. So I lucid dream when I didn’t want to and by that I mean is when I’m dreaming and I think to my self am I dreaming then I look at my hands and count my fingers that’s the only way I gain control of my dream btw you should’ve included that part to look at your hands and count how many fingers you have. So the thing I wanted to ask you is how do you like stay longer dreaming because when I’m aware I’m in a dream my body wants to wake up immediately so I have like 1 minute to play around I my dream and that’s what I hate the most. And the thing is it’s hard for me to gain control of things and to spawn things, like I want to become like hulk or sum or spider man it’s hard for me to gain control of that what I mean is I become spider man for 2 secs then the next sec I can’t swing. It’s really weird same thing with spawning things like cars and stuff that’s hard for me. Another thing is I don’t have a sleep journal or anything and I still sometimes take control of my dreams and what I wanted to ask you is that still lucid dreaming or no because I know I’m in a dream I can fly and stuff but not for long like I heard people stayed in a lucid dreaming for a long time like they said it felt like they been in the dream for hours and did everything. Last thing, is a lucid dream mask a good thing to buy for beginners. I never write in a journal I just lucid dreaming twice a month and it doesn’t last and I wanna lucid dreaming way more is writing down ur dreams the best way for that?
