Lucid Dreaming
A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware/concious that one is dreaming and takes control of the dream.
Here is something I have had success in studying and obtaining, it was a very satisfying enlightening experience to say the least, it is very exciting achieving lucidity.
something that I really encourage and recommend to the people within here.
Dream Induced Lucid Dream - DILD
Basic Tutorial for Beginners
What
DILD is one of the two main induction methods that you can use to get a Lucid Dream.
The main difference between DILD and another main induction method called WILD:
DILD - you go to sleep normally. Then when in a dream, you realize you are dreaming.
WILD - you let your body fall asleep while you keep your mind aware, until dream is ready and you enter it without losing consciousness.
How
As I mentioned above, you have a DILD, when having a regular dream and you suddenly realize that you are dreaming.
In order to realize that, we have to teach our minds to ask a question "Am I dreaming?" when in a dream.
This is done by asking the same question during day. While doing this, believe that you are in a dream.
During the day, no matter what you are doing, stop and ask yourself "Am I dreaming"?
Look around. Examine your surroundings. Does everything look the way it should?
Ask yourself how you got there. What have you been doing 5 minutes ago? And before that?
Now it's time to do a Reality Check (RC), and a mantra (simple phrase that you repeat).
There are many different RCs and mantras that you can chose from, or you can make your own.
For this example I will use the classic "looking at hands" RC with mantra.
Bring your hands up to chest level and look at your palms.
Examine them. Do they look as they normally do? Count your fingers. Don't presume how many you have.
Say "Next time I'm dreaming, I look at my hands and realize I'm dreaming."
Put your hands down, bring them back up and repeat RC with mantra a few times.
It doesn't really matter how many times you do it. What matters is that you believe that you could be in a dream, you just don't know it yet. Don't, at any point, think to yourself "No, I'm not dreaming."
Repeat above steps when you are sitting on your bed ready to go to sleep.
As you are falling asleep, repeat your mantra only.
It would be best if this mantra is the last thought you have just before you fall asleep.
If it keeps you awake, start falling asleep normally and say your mantra when you are close to falling asleep.
Or say it a few times, then just go to sleep normally.
Pretty soon this behavior starts happening in your regular dreams and you will gain awareness and become lucid.
How soon, that's different for everybody. It could be tonight, or in a few weeks or in a month.
It really helps if you are excited about the prospect of having the greatest adventure you can imagine,
and if you know that you will, without any doubt.
Additional RCs you can add to/replace the "looking at hands" RC. It's good to do at least 2-3 different RCs at the time. Pick your favorites or make up your own.
1. Looking at hands + Counting fingers
2. Nose plug
3. Thumb/palm
4. Gravity
5. Try to change something
6. Switches
7. Reading
1. In Waking Life (IWL) Look at your hands, palms up and notice details. Count your fingers. In dream, look at your hands. Do they look normal (color, shape, size, can you make your finger longer?) Count your fingers. Do you have the right amount? This is a good RC, because your hands are always there, IWL and in a dream and you can practice this discretely.
2. IWL - pinch your nose shut with your hand and try to breathe. If you can breathe, you are in a dream. Also a good RC, because your nose is always there, little less discrete to practice.
3. IWL - Try to gently push your thumb through a palm of your other hand. Pay attention to the sensation. Anticipate, that it will go through. In dream, do the same. If it goes through, you are dreaming. Good RC also because you don't have to go and look for them and quite discrete to practice.
4. IWL - Say, "If this was a dream, I could levitate" and expect to float up. Do the same in a dream. Good RC, you can do it anywhere and totally discrete.
5. IWL - look at something and say "if this was a dream, that [something] would be [something else]. You can think of an item being some other item, or try to change color, size, movement... It's fun and it transfers into your dream very well. Don't forget to use emotions when doing it - be sure you are in a dream, so the thing will change.
6. Try to turn on a light switch. In a dream, flipping a switch usually won't do anything. But people do report that they can turn on lights in a dream. And if there is no light switch near in a dream, you would have to look for one and waste your time.
7. Try to read. In a dream, you can read, but when you take a second look, it will say something different, or gibberish. Also time on a clock may have letters instead of numbers. But it can also look correct. And you have to find a clock in a dream before you can do RC.
What you just read is a basic practice, that is perfectly capable to give you a LD tonight.
You can of course read more and expand on your knowledge and apply your own ideas, so it works for you the best it can.

Dreams
In truth everything is a dream/programmed illusion/virtual reality experience created by a consciousness source of light which set up layers/dimensions/grids/matrixes through which souls experience simultaneously. These programs follow patterns called Sacred Geometry and repeat in loops, creating the illusion of linear time.
In the slower frequency movement of third dimension, one experiences linear time. As one moves their conscious awareness into dreamtime, released from the physical body, grid of experience, physical body, one experiences with time, and is able to move from grid program to grid program, in what often appears as 'flying'.
The soul is able to consciously able to view one or more grid programs at the same time, splitting the consciousness, moving in hyperspace, quantum physics, with a greater understanding of the dynamics of its total experiences.
While in a physical body, it takes most of your conscious effect to focus on events around you, as they are guided by emotions, the duality of the physical experience, which is bi-polar. This mirrors swings in emotions and constant changes in environment as all grids are in flux. In the physical, the goal is always to create balance. Many dreams are laced with emotions masking their true meaning.
A dream can warn us of potential danger.
Things that trouble us often crystalize in a dream.
Everyone who sleeps, dreams, including animals.
When you take a nap, you are ten times more likely to remember your dreams. For example you dream about meeting a partner. When you 'wake-up' that dream can continue. When you meet that person in the physical you get a deja vu feeling or say, "I dreamed about you, and it was all so real (surreal)!"
When you wake from a dreams, your consciousness can remain part of that experience.
On average, we sleep for a third of each day. Take your age and divide it by 1/3 and you will know how many years you have been asleep, on the other side, in this lifetime. For example, if you are 30 years old, you have slept for 10 years.
Many dreams bring messages, some part of your soul's evolution. Dreamtime is often a place of transformation for the soul where it awakens afterward enlightened about the next step on its journey into awareness. This is a time where the soul and mind process the path of the quester who returns in higher frequency of thought and personal mission.
If you can perceive of your dreams as projected illusions in which you are experiencing and learning, then so too shall you look upon your experiences in the physical, and unlock the mysteries of humanity and your purpose for being here. From the point of view of dreamtime and other realms of conscious awareness, our reality is but a projected illusion in linear time.
What happens when our consciousness leaves the physical body and enters the grids? What is the true reality - this one or that? Are realities merging now? Are dreams really dreams? Do they end when we wake up here or do they continue? How do our journeys into alternate realities help us? As we are here to study and experience emotions, much of our sleep time has to do with processing issues, healing, connecting with spirit, glimpsing the grids (past, present, and future viewed simultaneously) and so on. This is a wide open field, that works differently with each person and is up for personal interpretation.
Dream Categories
Anxiety Dreams, Nightmares
These dreams often are fear-based and result in waking up with sweats and heart palpitations. There is generally a situation going on in the person's physical life that results in such dreams. Heed their warning and create change. Some people call them "Frustration Dreams". They mimic life as they always contain unresolved issues leaving the person frustrated in dreamtime then waking up in this reality with the same feelings of frustration accompanied by anger, fear, panic and anxiety.
Many of our issues, cannot, and will not be resolved in our experience here. One must find workable solutions and act on them. The key is ... always remove stress and anything, or anyone, that does not work in your life.
Creative Dreams
Within your dream you are shown something you are to create, perhaps something affecting the destiny of humanity. Famous inventors, writers, artists, and musicians were inspired by their dreams.
Color vs. Black and White Dreams
Some people feel that as a dream manifests into third dimension it moves from black and white to color definition. Other believe that black and white dreams are dreamtime but dreams in color are parallel experiences. Further, dreams in black and white indicate an event in the far future, then same scene later manifesting as a dream in color meaning it is getting closer to physical reality.
End Time Anxiety Dreams
They contain events linked to the end of our reality hologram, simulation, dream, or program. Sometimes the events are obvious to the dreamer, while other times they are symbolic, all the while scaring my clients, who come running for answers. End Time Anxiety Dreams are on the increase as grids collide and consciousness increases. This goes along with a knowing that ET -- "Extraterrestrial" or "End Time" -- intervention in the human drama is about to be revealed, not by the governments of the world, but by the hologram. End Time Anxiety Dreams by clients and others who live in the Pacific Ring of Fire are mostly tsunami dreams, and they too are on the increase. - April 2012
Episodic or Sequence Dreams.
Your dream is like a movie, involving a story that goes on and on in sequential order.
Flying Dreams.
These dreams are common. You fly free, escapism, ascension to source, time travel or move through grid realities.
Lucid Dreams.
As consciousness is evolving to higher frequency of light and sound, so too are our dreams. With this comes the lucid dream in which you can control and alter the events in your dreamtime by realizing that you are dreaming. If you become a lucid dreamer, this does not mean that all of your dreams are of this type. Dreams vary as with all things your consciousness experiences.
There are many methods to use to create lucid dreaming. Here are just a few. Before going to sleep, tell yourself think: "I am going to have a lucid dream." This phrase will remain in your physical consciousness. When you dream, it will activate and you will know you are dreaming. Next you must find a symbol that when seen in dreamtime allows you to recognize that you are dreaming. Let's say your symbol is the 'sun'. Whenever you see that symbol in a dream, your mind will realize that you are dreaming and begin to interact freely.
For example ... you are dreaming that you are walking on the beach on a nice sunny day. You look up and see the sun! Your mind relays the message to you, this is all a dream. You now can stop alter the events of this scene, projection, or move to another. The important things is expanding your conscious awareness to the point that you perceive the dream as a dreamtime experience. This takes practice, but can be done. It will help you realize what is occurring on the other side when you sleep and the nature of dreams as projected illusion.
Precognitive or Prophetic Dreams.
You dream about events that manifest in the future usually within 3 weeks if not immediately. These can be personal or universal messages. You may also see your future partner, your children, a place you will live, or future events for the planet.
Projections.
Dreams are projections, just as we are projected thought experiencing in physical reality - which is nothing more than a consciousness hologram - actually holograms within holograms in which we experience at different levels of awareness. Dreams can be comprised of still images where you may see a face and telepathically receive information from that person or they can be animations (animated scenes). They can project from your thoughts or the collective unconsciousness.
Repetitive or Recurring Dreams.
You have the same dream over and over as if a message is being sent from the other side, which you have to understand. Very often it is you sending yourself a message, often a warning.
Sexual Dreams.
Sex plays a major part in our dream world for many of us. This depends of its importance in our everyday lives. It's a powerful driving force, like hunger and ambition. While we're awake, sex is ruled by social restrictions and conventions, but in our dreams, even the most timid of us can have explicit and excitingly sexy dreams once our repressed selves are asleep. Sexual dreams are very coming during puberty.
Shared Dreams.
You remember the events in your dream, that involve another person. At the same time, another person in your dream remembers the same events
Spirit Dreams.
Messages are given by those who have crossed over or a religious icon. These are often the soul of someone you knew, guiding your journey or telling you that they are okay on the other side.
Teaching Dreams.
Dreams can have layers that unfold over many days. In that time, Spirit can teach you through symbols of light or other means that raise your level of awareness. Shamanic dreams often teach lessons.
The Tsunami.
With accelerating Earth Changes, many people dream about large waves of water inundating them. This dream is becoming more common especially for people who live in coastal areas. Tsunami
Tunnel Dreams.
You experience yourself moving through a tunnel into a white light or returning from the light. This may be accompanied by the sound of whooshing water. You may meet someone, or meet yourself, at the end of the tunnel, much like a Near Death Experience. While moving through the tunnel, you may move alone or see others. You can fly quickly or slowly. You can experience emotions with this dream journey, which often brings transformational messages.
Universal Dreams.
These dreams are related to information you receive from the collective unconscious, the grids of our experience, akashic records, hall of records, that which creates the reality in which we live. Whenever a dream presents symbols of a cosmic nature, in all probability it is a representation of a Universal dream. Such dreams are reflective of religious experiences, and denote changes that are to occur at some future time.
Remembering and Interpreting Dreams
We dream in a higher frequency of thought and light than our physical experience. Therefore when we slow down our frequency as we return to our conscious awareness to the physical mind and body, we often do not have the means to understand what occurred in dreamtime.
Once consciousness enters, the physical mind, we return to the 'realms of forgetfulness' about who we are and the nature of a soul's experiences. Our thought processes move too slowly. Many view the physical as the dreamtime, as a result, as we are no longer aware. they see reality as a dream.
Some people remember their dreams while others have little or no recognition.
Dreams help you work out issues. Emotions can distort memory. We often do not remember dreams because we do not wish to deal with the issues addressed.
Most people remember what I call 'wake-up dreams.' As your consciousness returns to the physical mind, it slows down to a frequency where it become aware of something that is occurring on the other side that it wishes to remember. You wake up and you remember, if only for few minutes as your consciousness slowly returns to physical frequency. It is then you must record your dream information before the events are lost in time.
Dream Journal, It often useful to keep a dated journal of your dreams. Keep it by your bed. Write the notes in the journal as soon as you 'wake up.' You may not understand their content until later. using a tape recorder is also advisable.
Interpreting Dreams, Interpretation of dreams often vary. One must know about the dreamer and what is going on around them if this is a personal dream. If it is a universal dream, it may be more easily understood. For example, a friend of mine dreamed about the Twin Towers in Manhattan being engulfed in water and collapsing. He dreamed this over and over again but did not understand its full meaning until the events of 9/11 occurred several weeks later. He is a fireman. He saw the water from the hoses. He lost many friends on 9/11.
Some dreams are exact in content while others are metaphoric. Most dreams have symbols.
Your mind can only process the events in the dream based on symbols it understands. If you experience a dream that is not within the vocabulary of your mind, you will not be able to process and remember it. The physical mind has to be able to make sense of a dream, for you to remember it. It's like a young child being taught calculus. It has no way of understanding, and therefore processing or interpreting what it is being shown, so it forgets what it sees.
In dreamtime you generally receive messages in symbols or archetypes whose meaning you must later discover. This is not unlike messages received in meditations or other states of altered consciousness.
Here is an example, You dream about 'keys.' Keys open locks, doorways. Something new will be shown. You must then look at the number of keys given, the metal of which they were made, and anything else given in your dream related to these keys, such as ... who gave them to you.
Death in a dream does not necessarily mean a physical death in as much as a transformation, old giving way to something new and better.
A Dream Dictionary is often helpful in deciphering symbols as well as searching the internet for the symbolic meaning of that which has been shown to you.
Asking for Guidance: What I have discovered about myself is that when I am uncertain about an issue I go to sleep and ask for guidance.
Sometimes I am shown events in a dream that I remember and help me focus. Other times, I don't remember the dream when I wake up, but I know I have processed the information and know what the solution is. I often wake up with feelings of closure about issues. My soul has made the decision that is best for me in third dimension.

I hear what you're saying Frank, that's why I'm trying to get to the fundamental/universal truths that have been kept hidden from us in plain sight and stray away from ideologies or doctrines and I think doublemesh is on the right track.
