FOCUS To intensify one's awareness and create the foundations for a prolonged Lucid Dream one must begin the practices that guarantee these ends. I look at my hands and begin deep and rapid breathing.

LOTUS Typically I Fly out of my ordinary Dream Scenes and my Dream Higher Mind has been working my Lucid Dreams so that I lose altitude and land into what have been importnat and vivid Lucid Dream Scenes. Long ago I have learned that the Yogic Lotus crosslegged sitting position is the BEST POSITION from which to fly and levitate from. One can fly higher, farther, faster better from that crosslegged position, so reminiscent of the Sufi Dervishes who used to sit on their Flying Carpets in such a way.

AUM One will find that certain Meditations, Prayers and Mantras have a great deal more power, apparently, in Dreams than they do while awake. The most powerful and the easiest Mantra for summoning Spirituality and the Higher Powers is simply AUM. Intoning a deep and long AUM offers another means of powering up before Flying off.
After those constant elements of every Lucid Dreaming Checklist, then one can more to any particular items that one had been ambitious to work on.

What an awesome practice. I once read a book called, "Lucid Dreaming: The Dawning of the Clear Light" which suggested meditating in a Lucid Dream and drawing a Divine light to yourself but I have never quite managed it, I tent to get caught up with the extremely liberating effect of flying. This method you describe though actually incorporates flying while still working toward the more spiritual ends I would seek.

Thanks Leo, I'll be incorporating this technique (protocol) into my Dream Yoga.
