Dream Control Training Course

Using your dreams

I guess we can start from what we know here, and you sure should know your dreams, having several years of experience behind your shoulders: you've been dreaming your whole life, every night, and that ought to count for something |) so let's grab all this experience and make good use of it.
As a side note, exercises concerning recent dreams are more executed the sooner you do it after the dream, mainly for recall issues. Those extra details can help you a long way in joining the pieces of the puzzle together .

Rewriting dreams

This exercise is in a way similar to MILD practice, as it revolves around remembering dreams (mostly by looking at journaled ones), or just making one on the spot if you feel like it, and putting your long-sought lucidity in it, just like that. You can imagine anything, from doing a RC to a dreamsign you previously missed, to just realizing you've been in a dream for some time, to starting the dream lucid, whatever feels right to you is fine.
After that, have fun in daydreaming/imagining/visualizing/writing down all the things you wanted to do ^^. Try to put all the details you want from a LD in there, and let it be as long as you desire. It's your dreams, so no need to restrain yourself in here, just make it as good as you want it to be ;D.
Trying to keep a first person view is important as for LD's, so try to feel yourself there, being surrounded by your desired environment, interacting with it just like you are already there. Try to really feel you're there, imagine touching that bark of the tree, smelling that salted air near the ocean, hearing the voice of your favorite DC. Any level of "trueness" of detail is fine, really; a much more important thing is emotional participation, and quantity of details that you can "perceive" at any time.

If you hear/perceive in any way some external distractions, and find them bugging you, you can just incorporate it in the daydream, like the hum of that old fridge is really a hummed chant of wise ancients in the distance, or that fly that passed in front of you sight was really a faerie of sort. Just let it be the first thing that spawns into your mind, the more spontaneous the better.

With some practice, you might amuse yourself at how close these daydreaming sessions can be close to real dreams. And that means, you can easily learn to administer LD's more wisely, while being outside, preparing for the night thing; it's like training sessions for a sport: it's just so much better if you prepare for a match, instead of training your muscles only as a result of the matches themselves.

Tips

- This can be easily be coupled with affirmations, to anchor your present state of (induced) lucidity to actual dreams more fully. Phrases like "Next time I'm dreaming, I will remember to recognize I'm dreaming" or anything generic like that can work, or anything more specific like "In my dreams I will do X" if you feel like it would be better for you. Check the appropriate section for more info.

- Try to keep continuity of the daydream, as the reason there was an interruption in the daydream might cause an interrupted LD in the same way. Notice what caused you to lose focus in the fantasy, and study it closely, then decide what to do with it. It can range from feeling you are done there, to some panic that makes you interrupt abruptly. Just examine it, the reasons for that behavior will eventually come up, and you will be able to treat the problem appropriately.
The same can of course be said for the opposite problem, the loss of lucidity. If you lose control and find yourself spacing at one point, try to remember what caused you to get distracted (even external causes, like some noise), get the bigger picture, and act appropriately, by getting more interested in the fantasy, and being aware of your thoughts as the same time, so you can channel them on your current goal, just by doing what you do at the moment. It's mostly a matter of seeing them from a distance, so you'll be able to let them pass by focusing on what you care about, instead of getting trampled and carried away. This way, you will get longer and longer LD's, to the point of lasting entire REM phases, not to mention more enjoyable and full.
I can't stress enough times how participation, form emotional to sensory, is the main propeller of this tech, as many others; you are spending this time anyway, so better do it with some effort, to multiply the results, and the enjoyment!

- There is a more engaging way of doing this practice, called "dream acting", that is essentially the same thing, only now you do it moving your body too. It can be a little straining at first, because you obviously need to limit your movements, according to the place you're in, but you can get accustomed to that sort of movements soon enough. This way, you can simulate moving, touching something (even if the texture will feel different, of course), changing postures (like sitting down), or making movements feel a little bit more real (like tilting your head when imagining flying).
It can work for some, because the participation of the body can bring a fuller immersion, while for others it can just be a big distraction that keeps them from fully enjoying their fantasy. You are free to experiment.

Learning from your previous dreams

For anything you might want to do in dreams and can't manage, or you would want to improve, you already have plenty of examples, as close to you as they can get, upon which you can deduct your personal techniques: your recalled dreams. The question can be anything, from "How do I keep a dream stable?" to "How can I teleport successfully?"; just look at your previous attempts, and look for patterns. Has this technique worked before? Can you find ways of making it more effective? What if you used it in conjunction with something else? Play with the ideas, feel free to experiment, and remember to write it all down in the morning, so you can use it as the stepping stone for your future attempts.

"Chose NOT to"

It may seem a original idea, but in any dream, you really know you're dreaming. Parts of your mind are actively generating fictional sensory perceptions, other are putting the coherency of a dream together, and so on; so somewhere inside your head, you really know it's a dream; it's just the conscious, surface you that doesn't.
Or does it? How many times have you found yourself acting differently than IWL in a certain situation? Most of the dreamsigns are things that would be impossible, or very difficult, to experience in your daily life, and I'm sure if you met that pink elephant IWL, you would have started doubting something, instead of just looking at it and going on talking with that friend of yours that you're haven't been seeing in months. There are countless examples of situations in which dream and real behavior can be drastically different, so the only conclusion must be, you somehow know, each night, that what you are doing, what you are experiencing, is not reality; and if it is not reality, it must be a dream then! But if we know it is a dream, then why don't we get lucid? That's a really good question, as it differs from person to person, and that's what I want you to find out with this exercise.

Start with remembering a dream you had, the vivider the memory the better (the aid of a DJ is of course advised), and whenever you find a dreamsign that you feel it should have made you lucid, ask yourself: "Why it didn't?" "Why didn't I become lucid?". Blaming the thing on external causes, such as moon phases, the government, or your SC (if you feel it is a separate entity form you), will bring you nowhere: you knew from the start it was a dream, so somehow it's you that chose not to become lucid. Again, the reasons may vary, and they can from the popular reasons for people to think LD's are dangerous/bad for you, to any kind of doubt you'll effectively get lucid (which can have deep reasons for their existence, but that doesn't mean they can't be understood and got over with), to various fears.

So, when you ask that question, try to be honest with yourself, as this is the only way of knowing. If the answer doesn't come to you, you should wait some seconds in mind's silence (10 is fine), and either try to reason over the motives, or just wait and let the answer come to you, by itself; if it doesn't, let it pass, take it easy, and go on to the next dreamsign, asking yourself the same question: the answers can be multiple, and you can find them either in a single session, or in a week, or in a month, of analyzing your dreams closely.
While doing it, listen to what your mind has to say, and whatever it might spawn, however feebly it might be whispered, write it down, immediately, and I mean it, that's really important. Why, you might ask? Because by getting it on paper, you got it cornered.
I'll put here an example: you might be investigating through your dreamsigns, and casually, you get to think that lucid dreaming is hard. Write it down. Seriously. Now that you did it, you can now have a more objective view on things, and realize that one of the reasons why Lucid Dreaming is hard for you is thinking that it might indeed be hard. It's actually a common one. Ironic, isn't it? Drop that conception, go on with investigating if you can't manage, the picture will get bigger and clearer each and every time. By doing this, finding solutions becomes a whole lot easier, so I only have to wish you good luck

Interpreting your dreams

A dream that is not interpreted is like a letter that is unread. - The Talmud

It may seems this has no place here, but interpreting your dreams does have a nice effect on getting lucid. First, dreams are showing you you deepest beliefs, conceptions, feelings, and fears, and since you are probably adventuring into the world of Lucid Dreaming partly to master yourself, you may as well start discovering yourself with your ordinary dreams |). Since each and every dream is entirely made by us (with some exceptions, some may argue, but that's not the point), it is all about us, and every little object, word, DC is telling something about ourselves. It is an acknowledged practice to ask for advice about any particular concern to get related dreams, that may enlighten you on the subject. You could even ask dreams about Lucid Dreaming itself ;p if that's ok with you.

Plus, by the time you're knowing your real concerns and freeing yourself from them, in your dreams there will be much more space for lucidity, instead of all those problems and doubts jumping about and keeping you from your goals. Learning to interpret your dreams also means getting more in touch with them, learning to remember every possible thing, plus giving a more than valid motivation to do it, improving your recall by a great deal as a result. More recall <-- More participation in dreams --> Sooner, more often and higher Lucidity.

As a side note, remember that Lucid Dreams can be interpreted too, and often with even greater results, because you're getting more of the dream into your experience, plus your SC can be much more clear and straight with you by the time you're lucid and reasoning (to the point you can have a chat with your personified SC - going well beyond the "interpretation" part

)

Going through your ordinary life

These exercises, you can do on the fly, while being at work, taking a break, walking down the road, or driving home. They're just thought exercises, so if you have a free minute, just go for it and pass the time in a useful way. They're also very fun to do, once you get the hang of them |)

Lucid DayDreaming

If you catch yourself daydreaming in the day, you can either interrupt it, change the subject, or continue with the train of thought: with this technique, I'm suggesting you do the latter, only this time, pay active attention to what you're thinking, where the fantasy is heading.
It is not at all required to bring heavy thoughts into it, or derailing from what you were naturally thinking, just stay there and watch, and let it flow. You can surely add details, like if you started from a song, you can now see an orchestra playing it, or you going on an adventure with that as your personal soundtrack. If you found yourself losing grip, just get back to it and continue observing the present thoughts.
Get accustomed to your thoughts, learn the patterns they naturally follow, get used to being there and just watching them, learn how to stay lucid with the minimum effort on your part: it can get easy really fast, since being lucid is just composed of passive observation, and becomes thus effortless quickly. It's just a back-of-the-head feeling that you're there, and that in front of you is a fantasy, no need for anything else, your curiosity and enjoyment will do the rest, believe me.

Did you guess where I'm heading? By doing this, you will be able to insert lucidity into ND's much more easily, without even risking of breaking the flow. From there, you are free to let the dream continue with you lucid, or pave your own road.

Retracing your thoughts, retracing your day

At random moments, stop for a minute and say "what did I just do?"; I can be either because you caught yourself daydreaming, or were distracted by some event or thought. You can trace the events backwards, starting at the last one and looking for the triggering cause of each, going more and more backwards in time, or forward form one particular event you remember.

Sample forward retracing: you stop, think of the exercise, remember you looked at a flower at some point, look back at it --> remember the chain of thoughts chain of thoughts "Beautiful flower" --> "That yellow is nice" --> "I have a yellow shirt somewhere" --> "My cabinet is messy" --> "I have to clean up my room today" etc. onwards.
Sample backward retracing: you think of your last thought and go find the cause for each: "I was thinking of my friend B" <-- "B looks really like the protagonist from that game." <-- "Maybe that PC shooter would do for him" <-- "Trying to choose a good gift for A" etc. backwards.

You'll notice you'll be able to remember better if you were more aware during that period, and this is in general a great training, both for DR directly (you'll notice how remembering dreams and reality are actually very close in their workings) and awareness indirectly (forcing yourself to remember tells a message to your SC, that you want to remember, thus you get to be more and more able to remember details of what happened, by being aware of them in the first place).

A more advanced routine can be practiced late in the day, possibly before going to bed: it consists in the same thing, only you try to retrace as much of your day as possible, this time you must do it backwards. Try to get as much as possible back: what where you doing, where were you going, who did you talk to, what did they say, what did lunch taste like, what were your thoughts etc.
Don't worry if you forgot something, as it is natural at the beginning; if you find yourself dwelling over some detail, just skip it and get to something else, it will come by itself eventually. Plus, if skipped some parts at some point, noticing that you did means that you effectively remembered, and that's a good thing by itself ^^

The idea can also be thought in the following way: if life were a dream, what would you write in your DJ at the end of the day? Be sure to remember all of the parts important to you

Lucid Living

A good idea for learning to cope with being in a dream is, getting used to the idea, getting used to the feeling.
When you are in a dream, you surely look at things in a different way, experience an array of emotions that differ wildly from IWL experience, think completely different things. It is possible, anyhow, to become accustomed with it, and that can come with dream practice; but supposing we would speed up the process, you can always do that while awake. Imagine you're dreaming right here, right now; what do you feel? Do you keep looking at things in the same way? I can bet a storm of thoughts has flooded your mind; what I'm asking you is, keep that belief alive, that wonder, and keep believing what is surrounding you is genuinely a dream.

You will have to keep this thought in mind, and you could repeat it to yourself every now and then if necessary: in such a way, you are training yourself to keep your awareness high, and to keep lucidity for longer; but in another way, you're getting accustomed to the idea of finding yourself in a dream, so that next time you do find yourself in a dream, you would stay calm and think rationally, as you have prepared a great deal for this. Have you also noticed, how you started looking, listening more to things, noticing details you didn't those many times before? Do you feel like your view has widened, you senses sharpened, and you have a general feeling of being there, alive, participating? That is indeed a very good thing, and is your awareness having a high time: it is a wonderful feat to possess in our daily lives, as its benefits go way over the LD-related ones.

You will find yourself more reactive while more relaxed at the same time, more aware of your body and more able to control it, and much more critical about your surroundings. You can notice how these benefits are both useful in dreams and IWL.
By doing this, you will be getting the chance factor out of lucidness, as you will be always lucid, be it in a dream or IWL.

Affirming your intentions

This works on the same level of autosuggestion: you say out loud your intentions, your desires, and command that they be satisfied; but what are you doing this way? You are sending a message to your SC, multiple times, affirming a particular craving, stating it clearly; and by doing that, your SC will start acting towards your goal, silently and steadily. There is the need, however, to trust the method completely, and leaving things work their way. You can start observing the workings of this tech with simple tasks - "at the hour X" or "the next time I see Y" (it can even be a dreamsign, for combo points) "I will look at my watch/remember something/do this particular thing (maybe a RC)"; now, if you are thinking about it at it all the time, you are not helping at all, as it is not necessary to ponder about it before the time comes; so you just forget about it, and when the time comes, you'll find yourself doing it automatically, and wonder how it happened. Well, that was your SC at work, and it can come of great aid for everything you state clearly and let it do by itself, trusting its work.
Leave your doubts behind, and just say you'll do it, then go to bed happy. For direct LD inducing, you can use "In X minutes" or "At XX:YY" then "I will do a RC" or "I will know it is a dream" or any variations of the aforementioned. A nice topic on the subject was made by BenDrummin58.

Tips

- This can be coupled with MILD practice: when you affirm before bed that you'll notice that dreamsign and check for reality, you are stating your intention, in the same way this technique suggests; just remember to build confidence in the practice with simple/unrelated-to-LD goals, and build up your way to what you really strive for; as already stated, setting a dreamsign as a trigger is great practice for powering up your recognition of the dreamstate.

Taking time for yourself

Most of these exercises need a little dedication, and do not require a particular time of the day to be performed, thus it is better to do them when they'll be more effective, that is, when your mind is free from the concerns of the day. You might want to do them in the morning, for a small time after waking up (if you can manage), or before going to bed; alternatively, you could find a small window of time during the day and resolve to use it for one of these exercises, without interferences. The world can wait half an hour, I assure you.
Trance states can also enhance results, but don't worry before the big word, light trance states can be as mundane as being peaceful and relaxed for the time being.

Keeping your motivation high and getting a checklist

Like any big thing in life, if you want to be lucid in your dreams frequently, you gotta have good reasons for it. Not there's a shortage, or will ever be. The motivation can be really limitless, from simply having a lot of fun, to sex, to doing anything you always wanted to do IWL, to practicing any superpower, to search for enlightenment/spiritual answers, to find inspiration, to meet any celebrity/person/fictional character you would like, to know yourself better, to go on magical adventures, to find your true future/soulmate, to practice any skill you want, to experience the impossible, anything you might conceive really, not even the sky's the limit there, only your imagination. It's just a matter of finding what appeals to you, and after that, saying "I will get to this in x days". You can find your motivation all over the place, just look for dream journals, and the to-do lists, or any similar topic, they're just crammed with ideas and reports of success, in anything you might want to attempt. There's dreamers (some even among the LD4all community) who have been using their dreams consciously for approximately their whole life, and they still have to get bored once ;p the possibilities are endless!

So, what I want you to do is, pick objectives. Try ordering them a little, basing on your level and your primary goals, and then make a checklist. Think about things to do during this week, during the month, during the year, put any kind of goal in front of you, waiting. Learn to believe each and every one of these goals can be reached, with a little willpower, a little practice, and a little confidence. Learn to believe your goals are just around the corner, waiting for the moment you will accept the single fact that you are worthy of reaching them.
Learn to know each one of them is just a step, however big or small, important or trivial, a middle step towards your big, final goal, that you will always be looking at, and that you will reach by the time you've given yourself; and when you'll have reached it, there will always be room and time for more, and I'm sure you will be full of new ideas ^^
Remember to always think that now is the time, and each dream you're having is your opportunity to do what you've planned to; remember to check things off when you've done it, and notice it is indeed possible to reach your goals, at a rate that maybe even you didn't think possible at first.
Take it easy, whatever may happen, and know that anyway it might go, you've been always going forward: by studying what went wrong, you can be more prepared next time; by savoring the feeling of success and awareness, you can bring it up more easily in next dreams.

Remember to keep detailed record of your progress, and look at what you've already achieved that you hadn't before, any time you need some confidence. Get some new goals planned if you want, especially short-term ones to replace the accomplished ones, and keep dreaming.

Meditating

I'll be stressing the importance of this forever and some more, meditating is one of the main roads to getting aware in a dream. Choose a preferred method, a position, there are so many guides and topics on the matter, just choose one that appeals to you; and practice it daily.
Learn to silence your mind, by starting to listen instead. Open yourself to your surroundings, to your feelings, to your body sensations, to your thoughts (the important part is acknowledging them), and relax. Learn to be aware and conscious, as it will be much easier to carry this state in your dreams. To briefly put it, you are in control of your dreams as much as you are in control of your thoughts, and meditation teaches you to do that.

By meditating, you learn to reach the peace of mind, and that is immensely useful: it can open the road to the SC, and become source of peace, wisdom and inspiration; it greatly raises your average awareness, so that you will be so much more able to spot oddities and DS's; you will be able to WILD more successfully, as you will get accustomed with letting the body relax and fall asleep while keeping the mind focused but calm, awake but still. You can also have brief meditation sessions during WBTB to greatly raise the odds of becoming lucid after you go back to sleep.

Beyond the impossible

A general-purpose technique to boost your confidence on whatever skill you might want to get better at, requires any kind of visualization and/or writing, you can look at the details in its own topic.

Law of attraction

This may overlap with some of the other mentioned techniques, but it does deserve its own section in its right.
What I'm asking you with this exercise is, daydream about you, having already reached your goals. While doing it, I suggest to relax, and take it as a simple, harmless speculation, a pure "what if", and just enjoy it.
As always, visualizing/imagining is recommended in 1st person, and with as many details as you can. Take interest in finding out how your dreams, or your life, would be changed if you managed to get what you wished for. Can you see yourself clearly? Is there any uncertainty, or conflict that seem to block this vision? Be sure to find out and get at the heart of the issue, to see your most profound motivation behind your path you walked so far in your quest. Besides, you can find more and more reasons to want to achieve your goals this way, and get more motivated and surer about why you want what you want.

Be sure to enjoy the process throughout, and when you're done, and only then, identify yourself with the vision, state it clearly: "That's me, I'm already this way, if I can envision so I can be so". Be sure of this; and afterward, leave it at that, forget about it, and go on with your life; seriously.
Think only of the feeling, and no more. It is not given to know the actual ways you'll get there, nor it is necessary.
Does a baseball beater knows the way he'll hit the ball before seeing the actual throw? Before his moment, he's just confident that he'll make it, concentrated, and observant, so he might read the throw faster to respond in time. In the same way, just be alert for your opportunities, like dreamsigns, and act appropriately in the context. In the same way, you'll be able to respond in the right way when you'll be in a dream, without actually having known what would the triggering cause be (since it is not given to know beforehand). Each path has its own roughness, and being in the right mindset, knowing what's the precise direction you want to head, will give you the confidence and strength to get over any problem

This exercise will help you unconsciously identify the steps that will bring you to the visualized goal, plus it will make the whole thing to get into motion easily, since you got more specific and clear.
If you want a more professional (and esoteric) view on the technique, my suggestion would be this article, which gives clear, easy rules on how to apply successfully the Law of Opulence (same thing, really)

FAQ

Q: What if some DC keeps bugging me, or I am called somehow to another situation?
A: If you feel urgency, it may be a serious matter; listen to what you feel, and if you feel it is important, you should definitely attend to that matter first; remember to ask a lot of questions, to be as informed on the matter as possible, so you can take the right decisions easily.

Q: My lucid dreams end up too fast, i need help!
A: The entire guide is here for that ;p but if it lasts only a few seconds, if not a single instant, it can be due to multiple causes:
- You gained awareness of the dreamstate on awakening: this is indeed possible, but you will feel it clearly, so it cannot be confused with other reasons; from this, it is very easy to chain, knowing that you are aware of the transition between sleep and wake, and you just have to stay relaxed and still to let the dream reappear around you.
- Your emotions woke you up: it can either be extreme excitement, fear of losing the dream, or desire not to stay (masked, of course): examine closely how you felt when the dream started to fade, and remember that your behavior is always the cause (of what happens in a dream) first, and the effect only secondary. You can now fight the problem face to face: there is more or less a section for each ;p

Q: Ok, but I still end up fearing to wake up! What can I do?
A: In my opinion, Drahcir's words need to be quoted on this one:

Originally Posted by Drahcir

We do find waking up from a ND before it has actually ended happens very rarely, and that because we are just going with the flow, thinking what surrounds us is reality; you can do the same in your LD though, to keep it stable: just enjoy it, and even if you know it's a dream, you can still see it as your true and only reality for the time being: what good will it be if you wake up in the middle of the night, by doubting it? What's the use for all those concerns, if you can keep a dream going for hours, every night, without even trying? ;p You have plenty hours ahead, so just enjoy the ride, and have fun

Q: Can't get to use a particular power?
A: There are a few things to learn:
- First, look up in the confidence growing section, and learn how to control imagination to spawn what you desire in your dream;
- Secondly, there could be a mental block, due to the fact you didn't visualize properly what will happen after you obtain that power: you could see that goal as a definitive and final one, thus you strive to reach it so that it will stay that way. A solution involves imagining having your power already, and thinking of what you could do with it, taking it relaxed and easy, knowing it is completely under your control, and many people have done it already with similar ease.
- Every time you fail, do it again, only this time, be relaxed, be attentive, and imagine your success.

Q: You end up losing lucidity during the dream?
A: A way to take lucidity under control is focusing on the tasks it can bring to completion: remember to do RC's often to remember yourself of the dreamstate, and think often about your goals, knowing inside that you will complete them tonight. Put some willpower in it, and get it done! ;D

Q: Think it wasn't your fault if you woke up at that point?
A: The dream may have ended by itself, check if 60 minutes or more have passed after you got asleep: if they do, the REM phase may have terminated, so you are not to blame

Q: Some final Tips to share?
A: - If you wanted your LD to be longer, you can always try chaining

; if that fails, remember to be happy and grateful about the LD still ^^ so to link LD's with happiness. Gratitude and happiness go a very long way for LD'ing, like for all the rest.

- In general, it offers a terrific help to empty the mind when going to bed, so write down any concerns to let them for the morning after; be just sure about the results, and let go of those thoughts, those will only keep you awake; calm your train of thoughts instead, and focus on your tech of choice.

- Always, always remember, that if you smile to the dream, the dream will smile back to you. Being happy and careless is important, terribly important, and is very good for your mood and health too |); the dreams cooperates with those who let things happen, instead of taking every little thing as a personal challenge and focusing with all oneself on it. That way you're only blocking yourself, be happy instead. In a dream, you wouldn't be able to walk if you think you wouldn't, and the same thing is for anything else, so just think you can, and let it be done by itself! How could you deny yourself something you believe so firmly in, that you don't even think about it when you perform it, like writing?
You make something more difficult by thinking it's a big thing; let it be the simple fact that it is instead, and go for it! And remember that enjoyment is the biggest distraction from concerns you can find on the market.

- Let the doubts drop to the ground, as the useless weights that they are, and let instead your good emotions talk, the truest part of yourself: this during dreams, like before sleeping (with techniques like Imagine the feeling and The body remembers), and like in life in general.

**Tosxychor** · 02-03-2010 12:50 PM

As a Final Note:

Remember: all these techs are not at all necessary by any means - many have reached lucidity and get their long and awesome daily LD's without any of these advices. The only - I can't stress it enough - the only thing you need for getting and keeping a LD is self-confidence, nothing more, nothing less. This guide is only offering various means to get those who don't truly believe in their abilities to develop belief and confidence in any required part. As I already said, not a single tech or point is truly required to get your great LD's, only your happiness and confidence are.

Hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing |) With my best wishes for your Lucid Adenturing career.
