Lucid dreaming is also often referred to as conscious dreaming, in that one can often exercise a certain degree of control over the dream, unlike with regular dreaming. Basically, lucid dreaming is all about the art of dreaming while at the same time being aware of the fact that it's a dream, even while you're a busy dreaming.

Having the power to control the direction of your dreams is something which you need to experience in order for you to appreciate it. When you manage to do this, it's almost as if every limitation you've ever known simply vanishes into space.

Is it really as simple and as straightforward as what it appears to be? Is it really possible for anyone to experience lucid dreaming?

Contrary to what you may believe, lucid dreaming is nowhere near as difficult as you may think. In fact, if you're really serious about it, there are various steps which one can try in order to achieve results as soon as possible.

First and foremost, you must be absolutely clear about your objective in trying to master the art of lucid dreaming. Do you just want to have your own private playground in the form of lucid dreams, or is there some other specific reason for developing this skill? Whatever may be the reason, it should be crystal clear in your mind.

Once you're satisfied as to why you want to learn this skill, then it's time to start the actual learning process. The first process, largely referred to as "dream recall", requires you to remember your last dream. Essentially, if you cannot remember your dreams, it will be virtually impossible to reach the stage of lucid dreaming.

Admittedly, this process can be incredibly slow although it should be noted that you can achieve this goal by means of a "dream recall register", which in essence will allow you to write down and many details as you can remember regarding each dream you have. While progress may be slow in the beginning, with time you'll soon come to discover that you are now able to remember even the finest details of a dream.

In many ways it comes as little surprise that a vast number of people have found hypnosis to be extremely advantageously with regards to reducing the time it takes to prepare your subconscious mind. In many instances one can achieve the desired results with just one or two to hypnosis sessions, after which time you'll be in a position where you can successfully remember all your dreams.

While in a lucid dream, it may happen that suddenly you are wide-awake. However, because of all the effort you've already put into conditioning your mind, if this happens to you, you'll have no problem reconnecting all the important details and once you're done so, you simply need to relax in order to go to sleep again. When you do, you'll be able to once again continue with your dream and upon waking up, you'll realize fully, the power of conscious dreaming.

Another proven way to have a lucid dream, is to go back to sleep for a short while immediately after waking up in the mornings. In fact, these dreams are so close to lucid dreams, that in many cases they will leave you wondering whether or not you were even dreaming at all. If you would like to try this method, simply set your alarm to go off an hour or two before you would usually wakeup. When the alarm goes off, wake up and switch it off and then go to sleep again in order to enjoy a lucid dream.

As far as this is concerned, you may find it extremely beneficial to keep track of your sleeping patterns in order to determine the best time for you to have a lucid dream.

In addition to any other reasons you may have, lucid dreaming is also known to benefit those suffering from sleeping disorders such as insomnia. If you have difficulty going to sleep at regular hours, you simply need to convince your mind that together with sleeping, comes an opportunity for lucid dreaming. In most cases this will be enough persuasion for your mind to take over the responsibility of clearing away any thoughts which may be preventing you from sleeping.

Fortunately for those wanting to learn the art of lucid dreaming, the process has become a lot easier than it was in the not too distant past, thanks mainly to advances in sound technologies.

In fact, a great number of people are now using the binaural beats in order to experience lucid dreams in the shortest and quickest way possible.

Essentially, the reason why these audios are effective, is because they involve playing relaxing sounds to the listener using different frequencies for each ear. This results in a phenomenal amount of realization in addition to bringing the brain waves into the correct frequency necessary for lucid dreaming.

Prior to the advent of this technology, people could only rely on hypnosis and for most people, that was simply too much of a struggle, not to mention the amount of time required.

When one listens to the sound waves of binaural beats, especially when combined with hypnosis, it is possible to experience lucid dreaming in a relatively short space of time.
