    The Paths To A Lucid Dream Experience

    At night, we all experience a visual tableau of images, the most common of which entail events which are rather impossible to happen in the waking world. They are called dreams, and at times a dreamer isn't even aware of them, let alone remembers any of them when he/she wakes up. But there is such a thing as a lucid dream, which is altogether a unique dream experience.

    A lucid dream is pretty much one where the dreamer is aware he/she is dreaming. It doesn't happen all the time, but there are known steps which have proven lucid dream results.

    Here are some highlight tips for treading on the path of lucid dreaming.

    The act of being able to remember one's dream, or dreams, would be a good place to start in aiming for a lucid dream experience. By remembering one's dreams, one would have a map, helping dreamers recognize how their dreams go, giving dreamers a "marker", letting dreamers recognize if they are dreaming or not.

    A good night's sleep would greatly aid in helping dreamers remember their dreams. Good sleep would also result longer dreams, as studies have shown. It is known that ten minute dreams are the first dreams the come into one's mind during the first phase of sleep. Forty five minute to one hour dreams commonly come after eight hours of sleep, though not exclusively.

    Developing one's "dream recalling" skills are quite essential to the success of a lucid dream venture, as remembering dreams would mean familiarity with one's own dream-scape. The most common thing to do in successfully developing one's dream recalling skills would be to keep a dream journal. Every time one would wake up from a dream, an entry in the journal should be made. Dream journals don't necessarily have to be detailed scripts of one's dreams. Key points in one's dream plot are often enough to strike the recall chord, leading dreamers to remember their dreams. Soon enough, a dreamer wouldn't have any problems remembering dreams. Soon enough would be able to keep track of the dreams that come at night. Also, utilizing the power of one's mind also aids in dream recalling. Simply conditioning your mind to remember your dreams, though easier said than done, could lead to better dream recalling skills.

    Once one is aware of one's own dream themes, noticing, with emphasis on remembering to do so, details around one's surroundings, stand as indicators in letting one know if he/she is dreaming or not. Light switches, as most dream research has come to show, don't work in dreamland, making this an indicator of a lucid dream state of mind. Letters don't really show clearly in dreams to.

    All in all, from remembering one's dreams leads to a "regular" lucid dream experience, which leads dreamers to test their surroundings, to see if they are dreaming or not.
