The term Lucid Dreams refers to those dreams which one sees with a certain amount of lucidity, that is, the dreamer is consciously aware of the fact that he is in a dream. In lucid dreams how to induce the lucidity condition, then how to maintain it once achieved, thereafter how to proceed to the advanced stages for full dream control are some of the most common and pertinent questions.

Firstly, in case of Lucid Dreams, how to bring about the lucidity or induce the required mental state is the primary question. Always remember that your main objective is to let your body sleep while keeping your mind conscious and wakeful during your journey from the realm of consciousness to the dreams.

In doing so, the main factors are those of preparation, relaxation and meditation. Prepare yourself for it by arranging for a dimly lit, calm and quiet room where you would not be disturbed. Prepare yourself by wearing loose and comfortable clothing and not having food items like caffeine or non vegetarian which generates heat and increases the number of thoughts in your mind. Do away with all negative thoughts, calm your mind and relax for this one in a lifetime experience.

For lucid dreams, how to relax every part of your body is a difficult task which one needs to master. The best way about this would be to tense every muscle in your body at first and thereafter concentrate on each part and relax them. Moreover, do basic meditation practices so as to rest your body, calm your mind but keep it focused enough to enter a state of deep trance.

As a second factor, in lucid dreams, how to maintain or continue with the lucid condition without waking up is one of the most vital things to know and master. In this regard it must be said that if you feel that you are loosing grip on your lucid dream with the dream settings suddenly fading away, or your extra efforts to change something is making you wake up altogether, are somethings which can be controlled by the techniques of dream spinning and verbal commands

Dream spinning means standing on the spot and spinning like you may have done when you were a child. This is a good way to preven scenes fading away. You can also continue giving yourself verbal commands to maintain the desired lucidity.

Coming to the topic of nightmares, in lucid dreams, how to overcome them is a crucial point of discussion. It may be stated at first that the mere awareness that it is only a dream works wonders in nightmare cases. Moreover, using dream spinning or verbal affirmations like “the monster which attacks me every night will become my friend today” will effectively tackle your nightmares.

One can conclude from the above discussion that lucid dreaming is an experience of a lifetime for which effort needs to be put in. Thus, this effort can be made less and easier by meditation on one hand which will handle all ‘pre lucid dreams, how to’ questions while the two techniques mentioned above would answer all the ‘post lucid dreaming, how to’ questions.
