lucid dreaming är att vara medveten att man drömmer har ni haft en sådan dröm någon gång och hur blev ni i såna fall medvetna att ni drömde?

Prolonging lucidity
Once you realize you are dreaming, it is sometimes difficult to remain lucid, or even to remain dreaming. Here are some tips to keep you lucid:

Remain calm
One of the most common things that causes you to wake up is sheer exitement. As soon as you realize you are dreaming you can get very exited. Try to stay calm by taking deep breaths and repeating something like:"I'm lucid and i stay in my dream."

Spinning
If you feel the dream fading use this technique. Twirl around your own axis (you won't get dizzy) and repeat to yourself:"When I stand still I'm still dreaming." or "When I stop I'm [insert place you want to end up]"

Look at your hands.
Another stabilizing technique is to focus at a stable reference point in the dream, like your hands or the ground.


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



Rub your hands together
The rubbing will give you a vivid sense of movement and friction. While rubbing your hands repeat to yourself: "I am still inside my dream" or something else that for you will help you to stay lucid.

Make a "to do" list
Not knowing what to do while lucid can make you easily drift back into the normal dream. Make a list of things you want to do in a lucid dream. Then before going to sleep pick one or two things you want to do that night. Keep that in mind when going to sleep.

In this way, when you become lucid, you directly know what your goal is and can pursue it.

Shout it out
When you feel lucidity fading shout:"Increase lucidity now!" or:"Lucidity x1000!".

Conquer your nightmares
If you have nightmares you can overcome them through lucid dreaming. If you realise you are dreaming, you know you have nothing to fear.

Confront your enemy
The best thing to do is to confront your enemy. If something is chasing you, turn around and look at it. Sometimes this is enough and the scary thing turns out to be nothing to be afraid of at all.

When the enemy is still hostile, ask him what he thinks is doing in your dream and defeat it. Feel the power of the knowledge that he is part of your imagination, that you are in control and that it should listen to you.

Demand a gift
If the enemy is defeated, demand a gift. The purpose of the gift is to transform the negative into something positive. You will always get a gift. These gifts are really amazing and give you a very powerful feeling. Once I got a gift of really beautiful music, and I could still hear it when I woke up...


If you use this technique in a nightmare it won't haunt you again.



Give a big hug
Another approach is to hug your enemy. Essentially, all parts in your nightmare are parts of you you are afraid to see. If you hug your enemy in your dream you will transform your fear into love and thus dissolve it.

A dream of mine:
Once, I had a dream in which a German soldier from WWII was coming after me to make me prisoner or something. I ran down a bridge and hid myself in a corner. Then I realized I was dreaming.

"I want to know who that is that is after me, and why he’s doing it" I said to myself.
I yelled: "Here I am! Come and catch me!".
There he came. But the mean-looking soldier had transformed in a small childlike woman.
I asked: "Who are you?"
She replied: "I’m your fear for the unknown."
This was a very emotional moment in the dream and crying, I hugged her.

I realized that my "fear for the unknown" had made me "run away" in real life situations.

Sex i klardrömmar är klart trevligt.
