When you are the director of your dream and you know that you are dreaming then such dreams are known as lucid dreams. In lucid dreams the dreamer is aware of each and every thing he does and he does things that he wants to do. He decides who the people in his dream are, what places in his dream are and what the ending of his dream is.

You can have all kinds of lucid dreams which range from mystery to fairytale to romance. The possibilities are endless and what ever you want can happen when you are lucid dreaming.

Normal dreams are not ones that let you control them, and sometimes take a turn for the worse, bringing out some of the worst fears buried in your minds, whereby when lucid dreaming, the dreams often seem so real and lifelike that you have a hard time distinguishing them from normal, everyday life.

A great way to find out whether it’s a dream or reality is to read a book, paper or magazine in the dream. Normally in dreams the letters are hazy and forever shifting and hence you can never read in a dream. If you can’t read then you sure are dreaming.

Lucid dreams can bring your deepest desires to life. What you can’t do in real life you can do it in your dream. If there is someone you fancy and they are unattainable for some reason in real life, you can be with that person in your dream. In your lucid dream that person can be completely yours and even kiss you and be with you.

When you understand that you are actually in a dream, then you can direct your dream the way you want. You can be with the person you want and actually start to dream about the person falling in love with you, being with you and even marrying you!

Is it physically possible to experience lucid dreams? Yes! There is a biological need for the body to sleep, to rest and prepare for another days activities, it is a relatively simple step for part of your mind to remain conscious while your body is resting.

Learning how to have lucid dreams can take a lot of practice and some people may not be able to master it until they have gone through a long, slow process.

One way to invoke the lucid dreams is to try and remember your dream when you are awake. You need to make a supreme effort to remember all the minute details and happenings and images in the dream. Record it in your bedside journal and keep it handy for such entries. You don’t need to fret if you can’t remember every teeny detail. With this technique, it’s a matter of time when you will have the same dream again and then you can further add details to your observations. Soon, you will have a dream guide reference of your own with this practice.

There are many writers who use lucid dreams to their advantage. They use it to plan their books and stories. They like to direct scenes and characters and even decide their endings by lucid dreams. Many people use lucid dreams to do what they can’t in real life. Maybe you want to travel the world or marry a handsome prince; you can do everything in your lucid dream. Many people even use lucid dreams to achieve their ambitions in the real world.

Recalling more each time you try. When you wake up during a dream, sit and try remembering everything about the dream. Once you do that, then go to bed again and then try returning to the point in the dream where you woke up and carry on dreaming from there. These dreams repeat often so more you recall the more vivid your dream will become.

Waking up before your normal waking time may cause you to hit the snooze alarm and doze off a bit and this is the prime time for lucid dreaming. You may even think you have been awake the whole time, but you have been experiencing a lucid dream that seems very lifelike.

Some people have learned self hypnosis to help them remember dreams or things hidden in their sub-conscious minds, but it is really easy to recall your lucid dreams, if you concentrate on it.

Binaural beats is another shortcut which is a hi-tech development in the sound wave field. Here there are some unique frequencies which have the ability to put the two hemispheres of your brain in perfect sync with each other which makes your brainwaves resonate to them and you enter the state of lucid dreams in no time.
