But today, for all of you lucky subscribers, she is giving away her greatest tips FOR FREE to those who are a part of the Lyon Pride. So many of you have asked for this information about Lucid Dreaming and how to get started in the Lucid Space. So I’m thrilled to be bringing someone so knowledgeable to your inbox. I’ll let her take it from here:

Have you ever been dreaming, and suddenly realized you were inside a dream? The sensation of becoming consciously aware within a dream is often described as a profoundly vivid and surreal experience. Imagine suddenly realizing that the world around you is not bound by the rules of waking reality. The possibilities of what you can do are endless.

Hang out with your favorite celebrity?

Fly through space?

Time travel?

It’s like a fully immersive VR game with all your consciousness and physical sensations. If you have ever had a lucid dream, you know how amazing it can be. If you are new to the practice, here’s some tips on getting lucid:

Ways to get started with lucid dreaming

1.Write all your dreams down. All of them.

To have lucid dreams, you need to remember your dreams. Dream journaling serves as a foundational step for lucid dreaming. Record them as soon as you wake up before you even get out of bed. Documenting your dreams not only enhances dream recall but also helps identify recurring themes, patterns, and dream signs that will help you become lucid.

2.Dream awareness begins with waking life awareness

Do you live on autopilot? How lucid are you during your daily life? How often do you stop for a moment to be mindful and really take in your surroundings? Look around and appreciate life for a second and become lucid during the day. The more you do this, the more likely you are to become lucid in a dream. One great way to increase mindful awareness is reality checks (RC) or critical state tests (CST). Regularly questioning reality through reality checks helps condition your mind to question the nature of your experiences, bridging the gap between wakefulness and the dream state.

3.Be prepared to lucid dream

Have a dream plan. Crafting a dream plan entails setting intentions and goals for your dream experiences. By visualizing specific scenarios or objectives before sleep, you prime your mind for conscious engagement within the dream world. For inspiration of what to do in a lucid dream, here is The Ultimate List of Things to do in a Lucid Dream.

4.Commitment is key.

This is about building your dream work practice and finding what works for you. Experiment with different lucid dreaming techniques over a long period of time. Fall in love with all your dreams, not just lucid ones- This is a lifelong journey.

5.Get enough sleep. Try to get enough REM sleep, and prime your bedroom for a comfortable, peaceful rest.

Lucid dreaming experiences can vary greatly from person to person. Some may find it easy to control their dreams, while others may struggle. The content and clarity of lucid dreams can also differ widely among individuals. Experiment for yourself and have fun! Everyone is capable of lucid dreaming. It is a learnable skill that improves with practice.

You can’t expect to have a six-pack after 1 week of rushing through the gym. Same thing with lucid dreaming.
