?how do i have elusive dreams?
Question:
Answers:
I've had lucid dreams.
This is what you do.
1. Keep a dream journal. Write down your dreams when you wake up everyday. This keeps you in the habit of being mindful of your dreams.
2. Practice every half hour (or hour) that you are awake. Pinch yourself and ask yourself if you are in a dream? Then you get in the habit and you will ask yourself this same question when you are dreaming.
3. When you ask yourself if you are "in a dream" during the day really try to imagine that it COULD be a dream. Look around you-- do clocks change their numbers? Are words on a newspaper changing? Is there anything odd? When you pinch yourself do you feel it? You should be doing this a minimum of 12 times a day-- but the more times you ask yourself it during the day (say 50 times) the sooner you will ask yourself that question in a dream.
4. Have patience. It can take a month or more to have your first lucid dream. (But you must have decent dream recall first which the dream journal helps you with.)
5. What to do when you are in a lucid dream? Have a plan of what you WANT to do already. Write down your plan-- the more you write it down the better. For me it is always meeting a certain celebrity that I crush over and having... haha.. intimate relations. That's my favorite lucid dream. But another time I wanted to build a palace.. that worked okay.
6. If you want to meet a celebrity or see something specific... don't just say "appear". That is very hard to do in a dream. Say something to yourself like.. when I turn the corner... a palace will appear... or when I walk down this hallway then I will meet a specific person. Let the experience come to you.
7. If you are losing control of the lucid dream, then try to spin around. The motion sometimes helps you regain control of it.
8. Even with all that practice my lucid dreaming was only about twice a month. I got really sick of practicing! Also the lucid dreams were hard to control.. maybe lasting only 2 to 10 minutes (or so it appeared in the dream). And once your dream is fulfilled--- well, I mean, I wasn't that motivated to practice anymore.
9. Good luck!!
Well bucktooth
we ALL have elusive dreams and it doesn't take any special effort for them to happen !!
However, I think what you're after here, is Lucid dreams !! And, that is a matter for someone FAR more capable than I -- to explain how THAT is possible --- repost maybe (??) and, those folks that know all about Lucid dreams are sure to show up in numbers to give you the "fill in" about it all !!
