Inducing Lucid Dreaming: Main Points Minor Details

Lucid dreaming can occur naturally but can also be induced through various techniques. The Dream Awareness technique involves keeping a dream journal and doing reality checks while awake. The Wake Back to Bed method uses knowledge of REM sleep cycles, waking after 5 hours of sleep and going back to sleep while focusing on a previous dream. Both aim to train the mind to become aware that one is dreaming in order to induce lucid dreaming.

Inducing Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming often occurs naturally, but it can also be experienced on a regular basis
on a deliberate intent and can be triggered through various methods. The first method is the
Dream Awareness Technique where one must keep a dream journal wherein daily accounts
regarding one’s dreams or feelings and sensations after waking up must be made to train
oneself to remember one’s dreams. The next step in this method involves doing reality checks
where one must train himself/herself to frequently ask the question “Am I dreaming?” to form
a habit that one would carry even his / her dream so that one can easily determine if he / she is
lucid dreaming or not. The third step is known to be Mnemonic Induction to Lucid Dreaming of
MILD which is exemplified in the act of repeating the statement, “I will be aware that I am
dreaming” to oneself as he/she falls asleep until he/she finally loses consciousness. This
statement allows a person to be focused on his/her intention to remember that he/she is
dreaming, thus inducing the state itself.
The second method to induce lucid dreaming is called the Wake Back to Bed Method
where the first step involves knowing when lucid dreams occur which is essentially the time
frame of REM sleep, which commonly occurs 90 minutes after one falls asleep. The next step
entails increasing one’s REM sleep by following the standard sleeping cycle. After this, one must
wake up after 5 hours and stay awake for 30 to 60 minutes. The final step requires going back
to bed while recalling the dream one was having and imagining continuing to dream as one falls
asleep. This method is known to increase the chances of one experiencing lucid dreaming.

SUMMARY

Lucid Dreaming can always happen naturally on a regular basis. It can be done through various
methods like the Dream Awareness technique wherein an individual keeps track of their dreams and
emotions after they wake up to remember their dream and to frequently ask oneself if he or she is
dreaming. Next to this is when one should always remember that everything that is happening is all a
dream. The second method is called the Wake Back to Bed Method which involves knowing that lucid
dreaming happens during REM sleep, 90 minutes after falling asleep while you are still conscious. One
must be able to wake up after 5 hours of sleep and go back to sleep remembering the dream you had.
