Some people get curious about lucid dreaming, but when they try to get into it, nothing happens! No wonder - most of us have lost the ability to have lucid dreams just like we lost many other “superhuman” abilities (like telepathy, super-developed intuition, or even telekinesis). Because of that loss, acquiring even 1/1000 of our potential now requires A LOT OF hard work, and most of the time - radical changes to our thinking processes, physical activities, and “lifestyle”.
But there are simple things and tricks everyone can use right here, right now - no need to join some “sect”, sell your property, become Buddhist, Wiccan, Christian, or Satanist, divorce your husband/wife, or fly to Tibet and live in the monastery for 20 years...
What we need is just
I will share two little tricks that can help get lucid dreams... or maybe at least clear, unusual, vivid, interesting dreams. These simple methods will be especially useful for those who use “sleep rituals” - always sleeping in the same place, in familiar pajamas, and at the same time.
First - go to sleep in a different location and position in your house. Sleep on a couch in a different room or on the floor in your bedroom, forget the blanket, fall asleep in a dress or in your business suit... If this seems too hard - just switch the direction you sleep in. Put your pillow where your feet usually are and lay down that way. Use a body position different from that you are used to. For instance, if you normally sleep on your side, now lay on your back.
The trick is to make your body and brain fall asleep in a familiar environment, but in a totally different position.
Another trick - fall asleep in the middle of the day or at the time when you never normally sleep.
DO NOT wait for the dream to come!
I do not guarantee that these methods will work for everyone or right away, but it doesn’t hurt to try )
