Steps to Improving Lucid Dreaming

1. Throughout the day, while you are awake, ask yourself, "Is this a dream?" anytime something odd happens or even when nothing out of the ordinary happens. The trick is not to answer the question with an immediate "Of course I am not dreaming!". Come up with a consistent way to check if you are awake or asleep. For example checking the time on a clock and then quickly check it again. If you are dreaming, the time will always dramatically change at the second glance. Or if you are reading something, look away and then read it again.

Again if you dreaming, when you look at it the second time, whatever you are reading will be completely different. As you keep asking yourself this question during the day, the question will become second nature. You will ask the question during your dreams. And when you do your check to see if you are awake or asleep, you are well on your way to lucidity.

2. Identify your dream signals. These are objects or images in your dream that serve as cues or markers to let you know that you are dreaming. Anything can be a dream signal and is unique to each individual dreamer. It may help to read through your dream journal and select an images that seem to constantly appear in your dreams. By selecting a recurring image, then it has a better chance of appearing in your future dreams. Then when you are ready for bed, tell yourself that "When I see an apple, then I know I am dreaming." or whatever dream signal you have chosen.

3. Use your dream signs to let you know that you are dreaming. When an anomaly or something impossible occurs in your dream, instead of ignoring it or trying to rationalize it, let it be an indicator that you are dreaming. Some common dream signs include flying, walking through walls or the appearance of someone who is dead in real life.

4. Finally encourage your lucid dreams, but do not force them, as your efforts may have an opposite effect. It is important to relax.

As you improve your lucid dreaming, you can even learn to "write" your own dream scripts. Your sense of smell and touch will become heightened. Before going to bed tell yourself what you want to dream and what area you want to explore.

I am who I am. I like who I am, and where I am at, and I like how the hard but fair journey has been the way how I got here….

I am a dreamer, have been my whole life. thats where the magic came from....So I like to glaze away & let my senses take in things most people can't, I like to go Aura surfing, I try to telepathically connect with my cat. Camping, celebrating the solstices & drumming, just to name a few.

I seem to run the risk of never learning "be care what you wish for..."

I had to re-do my fourth grade year, because I was too busy designing a mass transit system for my elementary school & rocket booster chairs to fly around on during recess, to do my schoolwork.


So, you may dislike me or love me. You may reject me or need me. You might identify with me or think I am strange. But I am here too…taking up as much space as you, and I have a purpose, just as you do. Do you like who you are?

All is bliss

Greetings!

I am glad you took the time to check in to my little part of this huge magical universe.You see, I am in an unique position. I live outside the place I call home (Spokane, Washington) in Germany and am going thru some growing pains that I shall put into words, thereby transforming them from thoughts to actions.

It is a strange feeling. Like your adjustment from the deep slumber to sudden reality. Things are going just fine in every way....except one. Magically.

People react differently to the tricks. Reserved and cautious. Applause is seen here as "only acceptable" at the end of a performance... and participation on the audiences behalf is very challenging due to the basic reserved "style" of the German audience. To make things even more challenging, there is the language deal...Having to learn everything I know all over again, in German. Which trips me up, messes with my showmanship and steals part of my natural delivery, Germans also seem very wary about circles, networking and magicians being friends with one another. As if they fear trick stealing or something, I don't know....they never respond to my attempts for contact. So I am very happy to have found you guys. Let us share our insider wisdom and help me fill this gap that is messing me up.

Best wishes,

Keith
