Lucid dreams are a good way for you to subconsciously control the outcome of your dream or some real life circumstance where you can test different solutions. During lucid dreaming, you are aware of your actions and can hear yourself speaking and seeing certain details that seem more real life than normal dreams. They are also easy to remember and control because you decide the scene, the actors and the script to play out the circumstance they way you want in lucid dreams.

You can have all kinds of lucid dreams which range from mystery to fairytale to romance. The possibilities are endless and what ever you want can happen in your dream.

Normal dreams are not ones that let you control them, and sometimes take a turn for the worse, bringing out some of the worst fears buried in your minds, whereby lucid dreams often seem so real and lifelike that you have a hard time distinguishing them from normal, everyday life.

A great way to find out whether it's a dream or reality is to read a book, paper or magazine in the dream. Normally in dreams the letters are hazy and forever shifting and hence you can never read in a dream. If you can't read then you sure are dreaming.

If you sometimes daydream about someone in your life that you miss and you want to be with, it might appear to you or be the subject of a lucid dream. Things that seem impossible are possible in your lucid dreams.

When you are dreaming and you know that you are dreaming all you need to do is change it. For instance you can dream about your favorite rock star falling in love with you and getting crazy about you. You can even choreograph your dream to the extent that your rock star talks to you, touches you and makes you feel loved. The only tool you need is your limitless imagination!

If you think it's not possible to experience a lucid dream, and then think again. Yes, it's true that the body needs relaxation and rest for the next day but a part of the brain can actually remain in a conscious state though the body is physically relaxed.

Lucid dreaming is not something that everyone experiences or can master easily. It can be learned with proper techniques over a period of time.

Recalling your dreams as soon as you wake up is a sign of lucid dreaming because you are more aware of the details. Remember what happened as much as you can and write it down as soon as you get up. If you keep it handy, it is easier to remember to write it down and lucid dreams can fade quickly after you wake up. When you have the dream again, write down what you remember, since lucid dreams can often repeat themselves. You may eventually recall the most important details of the whole dream, especially if it is recurring.

Certain people, especially dream interpreters, for example, may find this information helpful in studying patterns of subject matter or emotions in lucid dreams that are remembered. The dream ends the way you want it to since you control the scene and actions so many use lucid dreams to fulfill ambitions they may not have realized in real life by lucid dreaming.

If you have ever dozed back to sleep after you have awoken from a lucid dream, you may have experienced where you can almost consciously return to where you were before you woke up. When you re-enter the dream, it may be easier to recall if you forget some details or you may end up changing some of the details when you dream the second time around.

There are people who use lucid dreams in the early hours of the morning when they wake up before their actual time. It feels as if you have been thinking and working plans but in reality it was a lucid dream.

Most people are amazed at the ease that this can be mastered with. Self hypnosis can enhance lucid dreams and help in a detailed accurate recall.

The latest invention in sound technology is known as the binaural beats which are special frequencies. These can work at increasing the coordination between the two hemispheres and cause your brainwaves to match the frequency required for lucid dreaming. This is a great shortcut to enter the state of lucid dreams.
