I understand the convictions of those who join forums such as this. One who searches for fulfillment will most often times seek external aid. Like the internet. I don't doubt the unlimited potential of what can be taught through sites which connect people across the planet to aspire to a common goal. And so, I'm hear to teach YOU, how to teach YOU. In hopes of a revolution in yourself and the site. Making a state in which you don't come hear to learn lucidity, but to share your experiences and ideas amongst each other. AND a state within in you; to not be taught, but to teach YOURSELF. Because I know deep down in the calamitous depths of my throbbing soul, that we can reach something much greater than lucid dreaming. We'll get into that later (Possibly another thread). So now, allow me to relieve the stress of... Attaining Lucidity

The Nature Of Your Mind: The key word is "nature". Your mind has "natural" tendencies. Instincts. You naturally know (with a healthy mind and no deformities) how to learn; how to perceive; how to feel emotionally. We also know for a damn FACT, that we naturally know how to dream. Ahh yes, the world we humans question and thrive to understand, and grasp with an iron fist. But I'm sure, many of you would agree that something so natural shouldn't have to be grasped! It should be held... naturally. We don't (Or at least we shouldn't) "grasp" our perception and force ourselves to see what's in front of us. We shouldn't force our emotions and take control of them. And as kids growing up we never forced our brains to learn, we (more or less) flew through infancy as our learning minds allowed us to walk, talk, and act. These are natural traits my fellow dreamers. What if I told you lucidity was natural? "WHAT?!?!!?" says the never-ending amount of dreamers who yet to hold (not grasp!) the wonders of lucidity. "But I've gone through countless amounts of tutorials, guides, and explanations to the lucid world. No way its natural. No way it comes with ease." says the annoyed lucid learner. Well then; Allow me to shed some light with a quote from my favorite novel, The Alchemist: "When you truly want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." If you are a spiritual believer, you would be attuned to he fact that all things are one. And so, the universe is a part of you. So the quote in translation is: When you truly want something, all of YOU conspires in helping you to achieve it. That means all of your tendencies, both conscious and unconscious, will work to together to help you reach lucidity. You have to WANT to be lucid. The mind will aid you with its extreme potential from there.

To Want: An attribute deep in human nature, is to want. We all know the feeling when we truly want something. Allow that feeling to arise within you so that you may begin your path on the way to lucidity. Obsess, fiend, and long for that moment of awareness within the bounds of the dream state. Feel this obsession with every fiber in your body; as if your poor starving soul has the tip of its tongue half a centimeter away from tasting an abundance of satisfying nourishment. Do you really WANT to lucid dream?

YOUR Attainment: You came here to learn. Gain knowledge on this mystical subject. Yes, I do find lucid dreaming mystical. Un-worldly. Of the Ether. Anyways, I don't oppose gaining knowledge to help you along this journey. BUT you shouldn't come here to be taught the actual act of falling into the dream state. This my friend, is your job. We are all so vastly different. Our dreams are different. Our neuron patterns are different. Our experiences, evolution, and involvement are all incredibly different. Of course we have multiple similarities. We're all human! And we all share an extremely common trait; Capability. You are with out a doubt capable of teaching yourself how to do something. You already know to be aware right? Its natural. You already know how to dream, right? It's natural. Believe in that. Those are your first two steps. Now teach your soul. Learn your soul. Feel with every fiber in your body the act of dreaming. Unveil the source of awareness within you. You already know how to lucid dream. At least more than you think know.

Teach, Dream, Create
