Before you get started, take a step back and think about what you want to accomplish by means of conscious dreaming – do you just want to have more enjoyable dreams, or are there goals in your life which lucid dreaming can help you to reach?
After you define the reasons for wanting to learn to dream consciously, you can learn the steps to get your mind on the right level. You need to be in the right state of mind to be able to lucid dream. A good place to start is recalling your dreams. This means to remember any dreams you have had.
This ability is the best way to condition your mind for lucid dreaming. You can start by keeping a dream diary, which you keep at your bedside. Right away after awakening, write down each and every detail you can remember of your dreams of the night.

In fact, a lot of people find that before long, they will start to “wake up” in the middle of their dreams, beginning to have lucid dreams.
You may accidentally wake up from a conscious dream, but do not despair, this is normal, especially at first. Picture the dream in your mind and follow it as you go back to sleep. You will more than likely fall right back into the same dream and be able to control whatever is going on there as you wish.
When you first start lucid dreaming, you might awaken suddenly from them; this is a pretty common occurrence. To get back into these dreams, focus on the details of the dream as you return to sleep.
Get to know your sleeping patterns. This will help you find the right time to have the most success at having these dreams. Do not lose too much sleep, if you become very tired, lucid dreaming is not likely to occur.
You’ll want to know your sleeping patterns, since this can help you to determine when the best times are for lucid dreams. However, you’ll still want to make sure to get plenty of sleep. When you are fatigued, you’ll have a harder time conscious dreaming.
