You are welcome to read this entire paper before you begin, or while you are in the process of following the instructions. However, it is important that you finish each step before you go into the practice of the next. If you follow each step, completely and in order, you are on your wayto becoming a master of the Dream World. 1. Know What Lucid Dreaming is and its Uses. In normal dreams, we are "players" in a play. We don't know the plot or the outcome until it happens. Things happen "to us." It can be scary, confusing, dull, stressful, and frustrating at times. We are not in control. In lucid dreams, we are in control. We can do anything we want. We can change the scene at will− just wish that the monster chasing you was a beautiful woman (or man) and POOF! Or better yet, stop and ask the monster why he's chasing you. The benefits of lucid dreaming are endless. Being in a lucid dream is a very special time and place. The wonderful thing about it is that it's as real as "real life." Can you imagine a place exactly like this world, except for the fact that you havemagical powers, can do absolutely anything you want, and where wishes come true instantly? The only difference is that in the Lucid Dream World, you know, in the back of your mind, that you are dreaming. But that doesn't decrease the real feeling of it. And because you know you are dreaming, you can do anything you want, without "screwing up" anything in your real life. You can even fly, go to thebottom of the sea, walk through walls, and satisfy your wildest fantasies. Our normal dreams are so real that we usually have no idea that we are dreaming. Likewise, in Lucid Dreams, our experience, our senses, and everything is the same, or even MORE vivid and brilliant, than our waking hours. The key to lucid dreaming is simply to be aware that you are dreaming. The door then opens to infinitepossibilities of learning, adventure, healing, fantasy, and awe.

6 Easy Steps to Lucid Dreaming 2. Remember Your Dreams. If you don't remember a fair amount of your dreams already, don't fret. Here's a recipe sure to help: First, keep a notepad or dream journal right next to your bed. When you wake up each morning, before you move a muscle, and before you openyour eyes, ask to yourself, "What was I dreaming?" When you get an answer, right it down right away. Many times, we remember our dreams right when we awaken, but we forget them by the time we get out of bed. If you're like most people, it will only take a few days until you start writing. Do not attempt the next step until you are remembering some of your dreams. 3. Check−in Often. Again, the keyto the lock that opens the door of the Lucid Dream World is the knowledge that you are dreaming. In regular dreams, we usually assume that we are awake, even though odd things happen. The strangest thing might be happening, but we usually don't suspect that we're dreaming. Because everything is so real, we f"all for it" and think it's our waking life. Even when we do wonder, "hey, I could bedreaming," we don't use this valuable suspicion to our advantage. The best way to learn how to realize you are dreaming is to "check−in often." By this, I mean to get in the habit of asking yourself, "Am I dreaming right now?", even when you're awake. You must have a way of checking to see if you are awake or dreaming. One way is to look at some words, on a sign or paper, or anywhere. If you are...
