Here, I've had this saved for awhile:

If you really want to have lucid dreams it is advisable that you don't lead a stressful life. You must have the time for yourself and for your dreams.

Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD) Technique------------------------------

Set your mind to awaken from dreams and recall them. When you awaken from a dream, recall it as completely as you can. Keep a dream journal and write down everything you remember.

While returning to sleep, concentrate single-mindedly on your intention to remember to recognize that you're dreaming. Tell yourself: "Next time I'm dreaming, I want to remember I'm dreaming.". Try to feel that you really mean it. Focus your thoughts on this idea alone. If you find yourself thinking about anything else, let it go and bring your mind back to your intention to remember.

At the same time, imagine that you are back in the dream you just woke from (or another one you have had recently if you didn't remember a dream on awakening), but this time you recognize that it is a dream. Look for a dreamsign. When you see it say to yourself: "I'm dreaming!" and continue your fantasy. Imagine yourself carrying out your plans for your next lucid dream. For example, if you want to fly in your lucid dream, imagine yourself flying when you come to the point in your fantasy that you realize you are dreaming.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until your intention is set, then let yourself fall asleep. If, while falling asleep, you find yourself thinking of anything else, repeat the procedure so that the last thing in your mind before falling asleep is your intention to remember to recognize the next time you are dreaming.


---------------------Taking naps-------------------------

Or, as you can also call it, adjusting your sleep patterns.

For example, set your alarm clock a few hours before you actually have to get up. When you are awoken, read something about lucid dreaming, do a reality check, or whatever, to keep your mind on lucid dreaming. Then go to sleep again with the intention to have a lucid dream.

This also works if you have woken up naturally and are still dozing a little. You don't have to get up so you doze off to sleep. If at that time you keep in the back of your mind that you are dreaming you have a high change of a lucid dream.

If you can time your REM-cycles (the time in which the actual dreaming takes place), you will be able to set your alarm clock exactly on a time when you have finished dreaming.


------------------------Other ways to become lucid---------------------------------


Look at your hands:
A many used technique and one that seems to work pretty good is to look at your hands. Just remember to look at your hands and the moment you do it you know that it is a dream.

The best way to do this is to consciously look at your hands during the day and ask yourself whether you are dreaming or not. If you do this often enough you will look at your hands in a dream too. Then you can realize that you are dreaming.

Dirty tricks:
Before you go to sleep, drink a lot. In that way, you will have to go to the bathroom sometime in the middle of the night.

Lie down, close your eyes and concentrate. Say to yourself that whenever you are in a bathroom or looking for one, you will be dreaming. In most cases you will have a dream in which you are looking for a bathroom or are in one. It is then that you can realise that you are dreaming.

warning: It can be possible that you're so convinced everything is real you'll wet your bed...

How did I get here?
During the day constantly ask yourself:"how did I get here?", and playback the actions that got you were you are now.

If you do this long enough you will eventually ask yourself this question in a dream. And then you really cannot remember how you got there. Bingo, you must be dreaming!

Once I dreamt I was climbing on a building. Then I asked myself:"how did I get here anyway?" and really couldn't think of how I got up there. Convinced I was dreaming, I jumped off the building and flew away.

----------------------------Staying lucid---------------------------------
Once you realize you are dreaming, it is sometimes difficult to remain lucid, or even to remain dreaming. Here are some techniques to keep you dreaming:

remain calm
Don't get too exited. If you do, chances are you will wake up after the immediate realisation that you are dreaming.

spinning
Twirl around your own axis (you won't get dizzy) and say to yourself:"The next scene will be a dream." When you stop spinning, if it is not obvious that you are dreaming, do a reality test. Even if you think you are awake, you may be surprised to find that you are still dreaming!

look at your hands or the ground.
Focus at a stable reference point in the dream, like your hands or the ground. This helps you stabilize yourself in the dream.

rub your hands together
The rubbing will give you a vivid sense of movement and friction. While rubbing your hands repeat to yourself: The next scene will be a dream.

According to research the spinning technique is the most efficient, followed by the rubbing-hands technique.

my theories on dreams........

• you can only dream about what youve been through to a certain extent
• you only dream about what your into as a person
• you can only be yourself in your dream
• you cant see yourself outside of your body
• you can control what goes on in your dream
• you cant re-live your birth or experience death.....because your memory doesnt go back that far, and youve never died to know what it feels like........after your dead............but its perfectly normal to have a NEAR DEATH dream
• you are the same age you are now in your dream

 

[the coolness]

I can only recall this happening once but I'm sure there've been other times. I was younger, probably 13 or 14. What made me realize it was a dream isthat I dunked while messing around in my old middle school gym. At that point I remember thinking, this can't be right. That 's when I really took off.I ran outside and jumped onto the roof, to the cafeteria building, to the high school next door, I was practically flying. I'll never forget. It was waytoo real. The wind, the rush, the sensation, my blood pumping, the landing. When i woke up I was mad because I could've done ANYTHING I wanted to but I wasso caught up with the jumping that I just kept it up. There was another one involving some old girl I used to mess with and I remember the exact point Ifigured out it was dream because her !*% was never that fat. Don't remember the rest...

its fun sometimes

How about we have a NT DREAM SUMMIT

 

[fittednoob]

having sex in lucid dreams are amazing, I swear you are able to feel everything. The last time I had a lucid sex dream was a couple years ago tho

 

[10 piece nuggets]

I had a lucid dream, I was Godzilla fighting King Kong on the Empire State Building. I forced myself to wake up. Another lucid dream was I was in bed withMariah Carey. Didnt do anything though.

i think im the only person that doesnt have far fetched dreams like flying, having super powers, fighting the foot clan or putties, or humans with horseheads..................................i guess because i dont play video games or enjoy watchin fantasy like that......................and that would tie in toone of my theories about dreams

.......you only dream about what your in to

Also, it helps to take b-vitamins, whether supplemental or through food. Nutritional yeast is loaded with b-vitamins, all of them. It's got a cheesyflavor and you use it as a condiment. You can find it in health food stores. Here's what just 2 tablespoons will give you:

It happens to me from time to time..I enjoy it only had one really bad experience..I'll have to say my only out of body experience put the lucid dreams toshame..after i got over the shock of the OBE I have never wanted to do somthing again so bad in all my life

 

[raptors29]

I do it all the time. Sometimes I can end a dream, when I know I have to wake up early.

 

[dosky323]

Happens all the time. Most recent one was real weird, I was boinking some asian chick in the snow and after I jizzed the ice cracked and I fell into some icewater. lol

 

[recycledpaper]

everytime i realize im dreaming, it starts slipping away and eventually, its not longer a "vivid" dream but instead something i'm just thinkingof.

 

[orenthaljames]

Last semester I learned how to do this. But I only knew how to "pause" my dreams and enter "cheat codes". like I would have a dream that iwas being chased by someone and I learned how to pause the entire dream, and then in my mind I would enter a "cheat code" and move to a new location.

I stopped because Lucid Dreaming causes TEMPORARY SLEEP PARALYSIS! Now I can not sleep on my back in fear of being able to not move.

I never have dreams like that

As a matter of fact, I don't even have dreams anymore except for some WEIRD %%+@ going down. I'm talking about celebrities and random people I'veonly met once or twice appearing..in what exactly? I never remember 5 minutes past waking up

I'm pretty sure at some point I had one of these lucid dreams, the conceptis crazy.

 

[es el]

I have to disagree on a few of these.. I have seen myself outside of my body before I was useing some mild altering things though..after the shockwent away I wanted to have the experience again.

I have also dreamed about things and forgotten about them then the thing in the dreams seems to happen to me many many months later so IDK if you acually haveto go through somthing before you can dream about it.

When you die the chemical DMT is released into your body (might happen at birth as well not sure) It is possibly to ingest DMT while your living so I thinkthat you could have a death/birth experience before it happens..my 2 cents

Man... I do a lot of meditation and other various exercises to increase my lucid dreams and out of body experiences.
I've been doing my own research and reading on this for nearly 5 years now.

Many kids have lucid dreams. I know I had them very frequently as a youngin'....

If you guys want to lucid dream... you need to first remember your dreams. Keeping a journal of your dreams every morning right after you wake up is a greattechnique to remember dreams. After a week or so... I guarantee you that you will wake up every morning remembering at least one of your dreams pretty vividly.

Dreams are a lot of fun...

You guys should google obe's (out of body experiences).... these are pretty sick as well

i love video games and action movies etc. and my dreams mirror the real world. i have never had a dream that wasn't possible in real life.

lucid dreaming is super fun though i think i may start trying to have them. i only had them twice and both times my mind took back over midway, i realized itwas a dream changed it to something else and then i wasn't able to control it anymore but still knew i was dreaming.

 

[Master Zik]

I haven't had a dream for like 16-17 years or as they say "I haven't remembered" my dream. Last dream I did have as a kid was a lucid one. Somuch so that I got out of my bed with my eyes clothes with the dream still going on and walked out my room. I got scared cuz my body was moving so I opened myeyes asap

Wish I could dream again.... or remember them.

SideNote: I hate when you dream you have something you want.

I once dreamed I had Concords, needles to say I woke up, and realized it wasn't real
