Lucid dreaming is the art of learning how to control the dreamscape. It can be accomplished through either suddenly realizing you are dreaming as the dream is taking place or by consciously falling asleep. But, the easiest way for anyone to learn to control their dreams is to simple become interested in controlling their dreams. Lucid dreaming is something perfectly natural for every human to do, it just hasn't been taught to anyone.

Through lucid dreams you can manifest your greatest desires. You can go anywhere, do anything. You can transform yourself. You can enhance your creativity in waking life. Lucid dreaming literally has millions of applications and can be useful for every individual. But whether individual learns to lucid dream or not depends on his or her desire to do so. So, the first step in controlling your dreams is to ask yourself why you want to control your dreams.

When you figure out why you want to control your dreams, whether it's to just enjoy fantasy scenarios that you make up yourself, like meeting god, or having sex with famous actresses, whatever your goal is will pull your towards lucid dreaming. It is your subconscious desire that will cause a lucid dream to happen. So, unless you really figure out something cool that you would be 100% excited to have happen in a dream, you will probably have difficulty lucid dreaming.

Perhaps you just want to lucid dream for the fun of doing anything. This is a worthy enough goal. You needn't have something specific in mind. But your desire to lucid dream must be strong, just the same. You must constantly think about what it would be like to suddenly realize you are dreaming. What kind of feeling that would give you. Perhaps you would relish the feeling of power that courses through your body as you realize you can change anything. Perhaps you want to know what it's like to exist without a body.

Learning to control your dreams is not so hard. The easy way to get into it is to start mastering your thoughts. Your thoughts and emotions are connected and these create the dream environments you see every night. As soon as you begin to really believe you can have a lucid dream and experience the things you really desire, you will begin to have them. All you need to lucid dream is your will and focus.
