How not to Succeed at Lucid Dreaming

September 12th, 2008

Many popular forums teach lucid dreaming as the ability to control your dreams. Actually, this is far from the truth. Lucid dreaming is being aware while in the dream scene. Dream control is possible with lucid dreaming, but not a prerequisite. In fact, trying to learn dream control without a beginner’s focus on awareness is a bit like the cart before the horse. A much smoother and naturalistic approach is to work on maintaining lucid dreaming, and stabilizing the ability to be aware. In this way, lucid dreaming is really about training the mind, not controlling it!
