LEARN HOW TO LUCID DREAM

Lucid dreaming is a process by which you can learn, through regular practice, to become an active participant in your dreams. 


Eventually developing the ability to know that you are dreaming while you are actually dreaming and then influencing or altering the direction or outcome of the dream.

People dream between about five to seven dreams every night but usually only remember the last one dreamed they have before waking. Some spiritual disciplines, like shamanism, believe that dreams are a non-ordinary state of reality that parallel the waking state. 

Here are easy and steps to train yourself to become an active player in your dreams:

1. Record your regular dreams

For most, it’s practically impossible to recall a dream after they’ve moved from the bed and started their day. Get into the habit of writing down your dreams as soon as you wake up. Practice keeping a dream journal designed just for that purpose. You can also use a voice recorder, it’s very helpful.

2. Write your plans for the Lucid Dream

When you’re ready to actually start to try lucid dreaming, create a written plan. Begin it by writing down a trigger which makes you become aware you’re dreaming. Glance down at your wrist watch, check the time, check it again, if the time has changed, then you know you are dreaming. This trigger will become the foundation of your practise and a door for you to enter the world of lucid dreams.

3. Become aware of not dreaming

During your waking hours, as you progress through the day, get used to thinking “I am not dreaming.” Then, as you say it, get a sense of what being awake feels like, then, glance down at your right hand to see that you are not wearing your red ring. “Check in” like this five to ten times a day.

4. Become aware of being in a dream

Same as the last step, only this time do it whenever you notice you’re dreaming. Say to yourself or out loud, “I am dreaming” and glance down to confirm that you are wearing the red ring. Take special notice of how different it all feels in the dream state.

5. Practice your plan for lucid dreaming

As you practice more and more, you’ll become better at and more aware of the frequency of your wakeful dreaming states.

TIBETAN DREAM YOGA

According to Tibetan Dream Yoga there are two ways of dreaming, one takes place during our waking hours and the other takes place during our dreams while we sleep.In passing through the four gateways we come to the realisation that the types of dreams are really identical.

Tibetan Dream Yoga and Secret Doctrines is one of six subtypes of yoga elaborated by the Tibetan guru Marpa and passed down by his well-known disciple Milarepa. The practice has a number of steps, which permit the individual to gradually gain increasing amounts of control in the dream state. 
First, the dreamer must become lucid or wake up within the dream state. Second, the dreamer must overcome all fear of the contents of the dream so there is the realisation that nothing in the dream can cause harm. For instance, the lucid dreamer should put out fire with his hands and realise fire cannot burn him in the dream.

Next the dreamer should contemplate how all phenomena both in the dream and in waking life are similar because they change, and that life is illusory in both states because of this constant change. 

Both the objects in the dream and objects in the world in the Buddhist’s worldview are therefore empty and have no substantial nature. This is the stage of contemplating the dream as maya, and equating this sense of maya with everyday experience in the external world.

Fourth, the dreamer should realize he has control of the dream by changing big objects into small ones, heavy objects into light ones, and many objects into one object. He should also experiment with changing things into their opposites (i.e. fire into water).

After gaining control over objects and their transformations, the dreamer should realize that the dreamer’s dream body is as insubstantial as the other objects in the dream. The dreamer should realize that he or she is not the dream body. 

While this realisation is very difficult in normal waking existence, presumably it is quite obtainable in the dream since the dreamer who has control over dream objects could, for instance, alter the body’s shape or make the dream body disappear all together.

Finally, the images of deities (Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or Dakinis) should be visualized in the lucid dream state. These figures are frequently seen in Tibetan religious art (thangkas) and used in meditation. 

They are said to be linked to or resonate with the clear light of formless “suchness.” They can therefore serve as doorways to Sunyata or clear light. The dreamer is instructed to concentrate on these images without distraction or thinking about other things so that the qualities of each of these personifications of the enlightened divine are internalized: You awaken through becoming one with them while lucid dreaming.

Budda Shakyamuni often told his disciples to regard all phenomena as dreams. Dreams represent just one type of illusion. The whole universe arises and dissolves like a mirage.

Everything about us, even the most enlightened qualities, are also dreamlike phenomena. There's nothing taht is not encompassed within the dream of illusory being: so in going to sleep you're just passing from one dream state to another.
